No little Indians :(

Meg enjoys it when you make a noise like an Indian. She puckers her lips and lurches towards me for me to do it to her, but alas she hasn't worked out that she needs to make a sound for it to work! At least she has the clapping thing sorted - very little sound, well actually no sound.... but it is very sweet when you catch her doing it - she looks so chuffed with herself and then gets all coy.

Van der Graaf generator?

No, no.... just a metal bar..... and there I was beginning to think that her hair was starting to lie flat!

Summer fun!

Cruising Meg

Nobody told me that there wouldn't be a break between crawling and pulling up.....on EVERYTHING! I am totally amazed at the changes in Meg this past week. Besides the continuous mama mama mama she is also saying baba and we think there may have been a dada in there too. She is starting to cruise along the furniture and amazingly enough there havn't been too many bumps. It is now almost impossible to change her nappy as she wriggles and squirms. We are now greeted with her little head and big smile peeping over the top of the cot when we walk in to get her. She also through her first 'semi-tantrum' in the supermarket a few days ago when I tried to take the keys away from her that I had given her to distract her from pulling my bunch of Basil apart. I think the fun and games are just beginning :)

Father's Day

Meg spoilt Tim with a framed photograph of the 2 of them together.

Mama Mia

Meg is finally saying Mama which is all very well until she cries out Mama in the night and Tim rolls over and says 'she wants you!'

Hello/Goodbye

Today Meg waved for the first time. She obviously thought 'Will mom and dad just stop waving the whole time' and then she must have thought 'Hey if I show them I can do it maybe they will stop all that silly flapping'.

Meg bringing new meaning to the term 'Casual Dining'

Crawling and first tooth.....

Meggsie is now crawling at a rate of knots. Why is it that babies find cables and all things dangerous, interesting? I think we are going to have a very busy few months ahead of us! Also, this morning I felt her first bottom tooth pushing through - her toothless, gummy grin will soon be a thing of the past.

So she thinks she can clap

Little Meg thinks she can clap.... however she has a very interesting technique! When you ask her to clap she clasps both hands tightly and then proceeds to shake her hands up and down very vigorously. She grins and giggles whilst doing this and thinks she is awfully smart. Of course Tim and I crack up laughing which gets her even more excited and the hands go faster up and down!

What Meg may look like one day if gravity ever takes effect!

Spectacular?

Yes.... that adjective was used to describe Meg's hairdo by her Aunty Kayla... I think it is spectacularly cute!

I'm all ears

Sometimes one is just not enough....

I thought I was going to die laughing when I walked in on Meg only to find that she had located her spare dummy and decided two was better than one! She looked up at me as if it was a perfectly normal thing to do!

Ridiculously sweet....

OK got it on camera.... wasn't very difficult - I think we are going to have trouble keeping that tongue where it belongs :)
I'm her mom so I am allowed to ooh and aah.... she really is ridiculously cute with her spiky hair and pointy tongue!

Soooo cute

When Meg gets really excited she sticks her tongue out. The cute thing is that it is all pointy and she sticks it out to one side. Looking forward to catching it on camera.

Enjoying her play wall.

Eating is fun!

Meg is finally getting this eating thing. She is enjoying her greens... well not quite as much as the other colours, but a massive improvement. She seems to enjoy breakfast the most and squeals with delight between every mouthful. Yogurt is also a firm favourite. It is just so sweet when she opens her mouth and 'dives' towards the spoon.

Bush walking is just soooooooo tiring!

Please don't laugh... I'm having a bad hair day.
