Lily-belle is 7 months ALREADY!

I feel like I just blinked and suddenly my little girl is crawling, I just blinked and my little girl is pulling herself up against everything.  I mean honestly - we are almost in december!!  EEEEK!
It has almost been 6 months since Leon moved out, yet somehow it still feels like it is a dream.

I have had an aweful few weeks, life is dead set against me!!  I know it could be worse though, these are small things, but boy do they quickly add up to a self pity party lol.


1.  It started out with me backing my car into a tree!!  I was sooooo incredibly tired, I was having a shocking emotional day and it didnt even cross my mind to check behind me. Im thankful it was only a tree and that I have a towbar on my car.  Still very embarrasing as I was at playgroup oopsies.


2.  I locked us out of the house.  I picked up Leons car keyes, locked the door from the inside and only once it was closed realised I had the wrong set of keys, of course he doesnt have keys to the house anymore and it was such an incredibly hot day outside, luckily my parents have keys to my house and could come to our rescue.  So our family day was cut a bit short, but we still got out to mount tamborine though.


3.  Next I turned up to work on sunday with the wrong bag and no keys for the shop, so I had to bother my poor boss on the only day she has off to come and unlock for me.


4.  My garage remote control stopped working meaning I had to take a detour through the house to get to the back and then into the garage, normally not a big deal, but with a baby and bags and all kinds of things, just too much effort sometimes.


5.  I burned my finger on the iron - cause I wasnt looking when I picked it up and just assumed the handle was showing my way, of course the hot iron plate was there instead OUCH!!!


6.  I burned my tong on some incredibly hot coffee - TWICE!


7.  I tried to start the car to get to work and guess what - NOTHING, it didnt even make the slightest attempt to start, $230 later :( 


MAN ALIVE!!!!!

Okay onto good and better things!!!

Lily-Belles 6th month

- She started doing a caterpillar like crawl at the start of the month, now she is crawling around way too much, ending up with red little knees - poor thing

-  She just recently started pulling herself up on things, hectic!  She is now standing up by Katies table pulling water and plates off ugh!  She pulls herself up by the bath when Im bathing to try and drink the water by using her hands

- Sleeping is a bit more unsettled than normal as she is constantly trying to crawl in her sleep and then wakes up a bit upset.

-  There are some big lumps in her upper gums with her teeth coming through, but all still gummy smiles here!

- She is still as friendly as can be and smiles away through most of the days.  She will easily fall asleep in the car on a ride.

- She cant sit still anymore though, her legs and arms are constantly going and she will try to wiggle off your lap and onto the floor to play!

- she is 8.1kg at the end of the 6th month and wearing size 0 clothes.

- She still has the eye infection - doctor said we will need to wait till she is 1 before they can investigate her tear duct more closely.

Scrapping
