Update

We aim to please our crowd, so here are some new pictures. One is showing daddy feeding Milly from a bottle, and successfully as well. She was a bit sceptical to begin with, but once she realized it was actually milk, she didn't turn her nose up anymore. The other one was taken yesterday.

Everything is going fine. Mummy and daddy are still trying to get used to getting less sleep, but that's just one of those things you have to accept. Milly is being very good, and it's fun to watch how quickly she grows. She is a lot more awake, and we've had to buy her an 'activity centre' as she was starting to get a bit bored with staring into the wall!

Are babies like buses??

...... don't see any for ages then 2 come along in one year!!
"Womble" Huby is due for release on 27th December..... so
he / she is not quite ready to play with Milly yet.
Hopefully Lynne is over the worst of the morning sickness
now..... just in time for a calm and relaxing school holiday.
We're delighted for Colin and Lynne..... and of course we can offer
them a practice facility should they need it..... advanced nappy
changing..... pram pushing lessons.... it's all here waiting for you
chaps!!

Slack-bloggers

The blog has somewhat dried up in the last couple of weeks..... I blame Milly personally!!
She tends to save her unreasonable moods for when we're all together in the evening. The major issue seems to be that she doesn't want to go to sleep.... no matter how tired she is. During these periods she has a constant struggle to keep her eyes open..... which usually leads to lots of arms and legs flying around and the occasional ear splitting scream. So doing anything constructive in the evening tends to take a back seat.
Still, we can't blame the little munchkin too much, she's only 4 weeks old. We do get the odd smile. The occasional chuckle (when just about to fall asleep or fill a nappy).
This week we've tried to bottle feed...... which hasn't met with success so far....... we've tried the dummy, which works some times but mostly not..... but by far the most popular "boob" replacement is the end of daddy's nose. She can't get enough of it.... so now we need to go out and find a nose-shaped dummy from somewhere.

What are you smiling at?!?!

Life is fairly simple being less than 4 weeks old. It's all about eating, sleeping and filling nappies. This new life does take a bit of getting used to for the parents, but we are slowly getting there. And enjoying it :-) Even when she is crying, it feels so rewarding just to look at our gorgeous little girl. That sometimes even smiles at us.

Lots of presents

We haven't been so good at updating the blogg recently, but with daddy back at work and mummy busy all day with Milly, it's not so easy to find the time. But hopefully it will be a bit easier when we get more of a routine with her. As we have mentioned before, she's had so many presents, thank you so much to all of you! Being a little girl, most presents are clothes, and daddy is probably already a bit worried about the future and how to fit it all in... Here are some of the outfits that fit her now, although she is growing so quick that it wont take long before she's grown out of them.
