7 months old – last blog entry!

Another big gap between posts – I just don’t have the time to sit down and write! I would love to keep this blog going but I think its time to say the journey to having our daughter has ended – and the adventure of being her parents has just begun. Perhaps that’s another blog for another day when I have the time lol.

So wow 3 months have passed and out little angel is doing so well! She has her bottom 2 front teeth – teething hasn’t been so bad as I remember it and she has had the odd night of being grumpy before bed but we have gotten off lightly. She has such a cheeky little smile with them! She has been sitting unaided since 5 months, has just mastered crawling and is starting to pull herself up on furniture. She says ‘Dadda’ and ‘Cat’, loves Waybaloo, her favourite toys are her wooden rainbow blocks, and she is so incredibly easy going, affectionate and is developing quite a sophisticated sense of humour.

We are practising baby-led-weaning and that is going so well, I dont know why everyone doesn’t! No mushed up purees on a spoon, its proper grown up foods with her hands. Her list of tried and loved so far is broccoli, parsnip, carrot, orange segments, cheese, pasta, apple, chicken, toast, plums, peppers, cucumber, tomato, celery, mashed potato, and cod. She is developing a very healthy appetite!

She is still sleeping through the night, still co-sleeping with me, and we still wouldnt have it any other way. There is no better way to start the day then being woken by a happy smiling baby, pinching your nose and whispering ‘tatatatata’.

There is so much more to say, about how much we love her and how proud we are of our little Jessica, but I think that is evident throughout. There is so much to say about our hopes for the future, our dreams for our family, but that is all unwritten and I know that right now we are very happy. Thats the best thing I can say to end this blog and say goodbye. And now, I end with some pictures from the last few months, and well wishes to all who are reading.
