April 2009

On Uncle Matt's motorbike. Look out!

Asleep in the high chair (again). You know she's tired when she can't stay awake to eat.



Not much green grass in the "yard", but she still loves to play outside most of the time...
except when the sheep are too loud!!

I thought I'd get a video of the funny way she threw/dragged/wriggled herself in the direction she wanted to go, when lo and behold... she crawled! And I got it on video Ü

March, 2009

What is she doing now? She's just about off on all fours (wriggling to where she wants to be, but not actually crawling) and will give any food a good try. She loves toast and biscuits. Not sure what she's eating here... a chocolate biscuit, maybe...


Batteries low...


and she's pretty good at managing the straw cup. The first day she dribbled it all over the front of her, but after that she got the idea. She doesn't like you to hold it for her, and "straw cups are for water, milk comes from Bottles, thank you very much".


She recently got a big box of hand-me-downs from her slightly older friend, Elanor. There is a lot of cute stuff, like hot pink leggings Ü


hehe.

February








Things she's been up to this month: sleeping in the portacot, growing a tooth, eating with the family (up in the high chair), rolling everywhere, sitting up for hours, clapping her hands, eating biscuits and bread and playing the xylophone, to name a few.

January 09

Our little Jazzem. She's a happy little vegemite (except when she's tired) and patiently puts up with a lot from her big brother. She can sit up, although she normally topples within a minute, and she is very good at manipulating things with her hands. She goes shopping with her Mummy every Friday night, making friends with anyone who looks at her. She is also getting a bit naughty at night; she doesn't want to go to sleep. We have had to be heavy handed tonight (letting her cry a few minutes, giving her a cuddle, then putting her down to cry a few more minutes.) She did not approve, but she was basically crying in her sleep, and eventually she gave in.

She sleeps like a log once she's properly asleep, not waking up until 7 or 8am most days. She eats well. She loves veges (even peas!) and mush-able biscuits and watermelon rind. She hardly ever cries when Byron takes her toys, and she giggles when he sits on her back (making it hard for Byron to understand why we make him get off). This last weekend she's finally figured out how to go from her tummy to her back whenever she likes. She had been going onto her tummy for a while, then crying because she was stuck. Now she just cries when she comes up against a wall Ü

Here are some pictures from January.

Headbands are good. Her hair hangs past her eyes at the front. Mummy doesn't want to cut her a fringe.

One day Jasmine is not going to believe she was ever this short!

Sleeping pics are so cute. Sigh. Note the Christmas dress from Uncle Simon and Auntie Esther. Sweet.


Another Christmas present, from Uncle Matthew. She loves wool, so Dolly is quite popular!



Out on the garden seat.




Walking in Auntie Kelly's imaginary garden (the First Christmas Quilt).

October

Modelling a jumper knit by her mummy. Sadly, not for her Ü


Wearing Byron's old baby clothes.

Outside

My first parcel!!!

It's a quilt with my name on it!!
The underside of the quilt, made by clever Nola (who made a similar one for Byron)




Flaked out on the floor


Trying to do situps



Cuddling Paws




Dressed up for church. The hair is long enough for a hairclip, but so slippery it falls out easily.
