Getting to know Tas

I spoke to the Grandmas this week and they both wanted to see and hear about the details of their new granddaughter. It got me thinking about the little person that Tasi has become over the past 7.5 weeks and I wanted to share with anyone who cares to read on. (I have also taken a few photos at home to post as my camera is just way to big to carry around with 2 kids. I have started researching small digital cameras so if you have one that you love please tell me about it.)

Back to the baby girl . . . Tasi loves to go out and has been an easy addition to Koa's and my usual schedule. (You know how Koa and I LOVE our routines!) Koa goes to daycare on Mondays so Tas has a mommy day - so far that has been when doctor appointments have been booked but soon they will be our fun time. Tuesdays are our floating day with no playdate scheduled - yesterday was raining so we stayed indoors, but last week we went to an under 5s activity at the Maritime Museum in Darling Harbour. Wednesdays we see Auntie Susie and Tex for a playdate - last week at their house, today a scavenger hunt at the Australian Museum. Thursdays Koa has sports class in Five Dock and then meet up with Auntie Jenny and Jamie so I take 2 kids, 2 carseats, a stroller and 2 bags to the GoGet car - I am sure I am quite a sight! Fridays Koa goes to daycare again, Saturdays is a Daddy day, and Sundays are usually the family day out - last weekend we went to a movie and the Powerhouse Museum. Man, I love living in a city with so many fun things to do!

Sorry, got off track again . . . Tasi is doing all the normal 2 month old things like cooing and trying to stand up and enjoying having a stronger neck so that she can look around. She is smiling, but is a bit reserved - Don has gotten a few, Koa the most of all, and I try to coax them out as much as possible. Tas loves the sound of and being in water - so in the mornings she sits in the bouncy chair in the bathroom while I shower and in the evenings she lounges in her bath. She loves to be bounced rather than rocked, won't take a dummy or suck her thumb, and is gassy - all of which make going to bed a bit challenging. But I can't complain too much as she has always been a rockstar night sleeper - usually waking up around 2 and 5 for a feed then back to sleep - but daytime naps aren't quite as regular or as long as I wish they were.

So that is a little about the baby girl and us. Today she was in her first 'real' outfit - this was the 3rd set of clothes I put her in by 9am - so I snapped a few pics.

And it was good that I did in the morning because the rest of the day the top of the overalls kept going in her mouth and I remembered why I usually dress my kids in one piece outfits!
