Happy 60th Birthday Mum!

To start with today, I need to shout out "Happy Birthday" to my wonderful mum, she turned the big 60 today and looks as gorgeous as ever (as you can see by the photo above taken last December). I cannot wait to see her in just a few weeks so we can celebrate together.

It's amazing how we are just running through this year, I know I keep saying that and maybe it's because having Amelia is a huge reminder of how quickly time passes by. This week we hit a couple more milestones. Amelia waved for the first time on Thursday. Then last night she slept in her crib in her own room for the first time. She had been sleeping in her pack and play which has a bassinet, since she was born, it is in our room and I have to admit, I liked her being so close to me, also, her bedroom is on the other side of the house. Anyway, I finally decided to give it a try, after all her matress has to be more comfortable than the one in the pack and play. So, we lowered the crib mattress and plugged in the monitors so that we could hear her if she fussed. I needn't have worried, she slept all night without a peep, in fact I had to go in and wake her this morning. Of course I woke up in the night and listened to the monitor for a while.

We also bought some new toys for Amelia, so far she just wants to chew on them but I'm sure it won't be long before she knows how to put the shapes in the bucket and rings on the pole.

Below are just a few photo's taken over this weekend, enjoy!

Here's a glimpse of her new wave!

Almost standing by herself!

This started as a wave and turned into "pick me up".

Sweet baby girl, as you can see by the rosy cheeks it has been very hot this weekend!

Bye for now!
