So today I think I will just try making a wee girl's dress instead. I would have done that yesterday but I had to pre-wash the fabric and get it dry first.
Now that's done I can give it a go!
Luckily Steve and Stew will be able to watch Emily for me ... it's not like I have to care for her 100% which is great. She is a delight though... and I'm sure I will take a few photos of her to put on the blog later on.
Lunch... probably will be had at Sylvia Park, or maybe Maraetai... it will depend on the weather.
ONWARD...
LEIGH: now there's an idea! Thanks, I will try doing that.
We had a rough night with wee Emily. She refused her 11 pm bottle... then proceeded to cry and whinge until I got up after midnight, when she finally took about 3/4 of her bottle. BUT she did not settle for hours! Cried on and off for hours, then 'talked' for a while before finally going to sleep at about 5.30 am!
She slept in until 9am which was nice. But still did not want a bottle, so I 'forced' a good deal of baby food down her gob and now she's asleep again. Poor baby has a cold which is no doubt why she's a bit 'off'. You get that with babies, so we are not in the least bit fazed.
It's 'housework' this morning... I asked Stew to do some vacuming:
It's been a busy lunchtime/afternoon!
We went to Albany mall for lunch... while there I saw a nice towel rack thingee to put the bathmats on in the lounge... so we bought it.
While we were having lunch I decided to give Emily a chip to slobber on... she LOVED IT! She didn't actually EAT any of it BTW, just tasted it.
And that is not a bad thing... she needs to experience differing tastes:
ABOVE: very pretty wrought iron Day Bed I fell in love with...
In the shop where we bought the towel rack they had a gorgeous wrought iron day bed/ couch... and I decided to sit on it to see just how comfy it was. WELL!!!
INSTANT MORTIFICATION...as the second I sat down the whole thing collapsed under me! I was left with me bum on the floor and me knees and legs sticking up into the air! OMG. I BROKE the bed.
OMG
OMG.... I couldn't get up!
Stew and a shop assistant came over and hauled me up.... all I could do was think "Fuck do I have to buy it now that I broke it?"
LUCKILY for me it turned out that the slats were not installed properly ... so that's why it collapsed. ***PHEW*** I couldn't get out of that shop fast enough I tell you!
After leaving the mall we went and looked at some cars... and well.... we kinda put a deposit on a Kermit...
What? You don't know what a Kermit is?
Well I will have to show/tell you tomorrow! nah na na na *smiles*
Just bathed our baby:
End of Day: I'm quite tired. NO Amanda, not a car for Steve!
Off to relax now, Emily is finally sound asleep. nite nite.
SUSAN from the UK: I really don't have the energy to defend that comment .... just know that I have raised 8 kids and do know what the hell I am doing.
OK... found some energy.... I think 'forced' was too strong a word... let's just say I 'encouraged/cajoled' her to have some food OK?
