On holidays

A few weeks ago Michael took some time off work for a much needed and well deserved break!

We spent a few nights up on the central coast at a golf resort and caught up with some friends.

Amy had an absolutely lovely time and was so happy everywhere we went. She was fantastic sleeping in the port-a-cot and even did a 7pm-7am stretch, much to our delight!

 

 

The most exciting part of Michaels week off work was Amy’s new word: “Dad”

She said it over and over and over all week long and its still a popular word, including “Dada” and “Daddy”.

 

Here is Amy in her Ergo baby carrier. Its super comfortable and great for when she is a little unsettled.

 

As Michael and I both play the keyboard, we are hoping Amy will be musical too. She enjoys hitting the keys and listening to us play.

 

 

A few clapping photos…

 

 

 

 

 

Lazy morning on the couch, with her (my) iPhone…

(Love the crossed legs)

 

 

We received an exciting call from Amy’s day care (my work) to say they have a Monday and Tuesday available for Amy to start.

We have orientation next week to spend a few hours there with her, and then she will start on Monday 4th August. She will be 9 months by then.

She’s great at taking the bottle and will hopefully settle in quickly.

Michael and I are excited for this next stage for Amy and know she will be in good hands .

 

We bought a new rug for Amy to enjoy tummy time and hope to encourage more movement. She loves the rug and moves quite a lot now! She does a lot of circle work and some rolling too.
