6 months old...

Today Meg turned six months and we headed to the clinic for her check up. She now weighs a whopping 7.5kg... the formula has sure got her packing on the weight. Her weight and head circumference fall between the 50th and 90th percentile, while her height is below the 50th ... no surprises there!

Solids

Meg getting her first taste of solids... rice cereal. She actually enjoyed it more than it appears in this photo. Today we tried some butternut which she enjoyed a bit more. It is very amusing watching her expressions and body shivering with each mouthful she takes.

Blue Mountains

We spent the weekend up in the Blue Mountains with Graham, Belinda and Alec. It was very chilly - but nothing a roaring fire couldn't sort out!

Megan's first train ride between Blackheath and Katoomba for the Winter Magic Festival.

Beethoven in the making??

Sick...again...

Little Moo feeling sorry for herself with her second cold.

Brekkie at Eden Gardens

We celebrated Graham and Belinda's birthdays at Eden Gardens. Megan sported her jumper that Babcia knitted.

Happy Family :)

Another pixie hat!

Jolly Jumping

Milestones....

A number of milestones were reached while in WA
1) First ride on a bicycle
2) First ride in a boat
3) Meg found her toes
4) Started sitting (briefly) on her own
5) First cold

Vroom, vroom...

Little Moo getting acquainted with some transportation devices.

More cousins!

We headed over to WA to visit Matt, Hadley, Travis and Jaimee. It was great seeing them all and introducing Meg to some more relatives. Tim hadn't seen his bother for more than 4 years. As always we had some good fun with them.

M. E. G. A. N. spells Megan

Our neighbours very kindly bought Megan her name for her bedroom door. Each time Tim walks through the door with Megan in his hands he very patiently says 'Do you know what that says? It says Megan, Meg-an, that's your name, Megan' Megan and I have heard that sentence a million times!

Hanging out in her Bumbo

Swinging on the deck.....

I think Meggie has inherited her Dad's adventurous spirit as she loves it when we swing her very high and she squeals with delight when we spin her around!

Having a chuckle with mom

Rock'n and Roll'n

On the 19th of April Meg rolled from her back to her tummy for the first time and on 02 May she rolled from her tummy to her back.

Pixie hat...
