baby : 14 weeks

hands up if you're happy!

Life feels a bit like it's getting away from me at the moment. So I sat down to take stock and have a click through the lady's updates. There's been so much going on, really for the last year (or more); being pregnant, wrangling the preschooler, coordinating the teen, starting the new blog, that I'm often just operating in the moment, which is good and healthy, but then I'm not really aware of how the big picture is working out. It was pretty cool to look back and see the progress she's making.

So what has this tiny lady been up to? A wee bit of rolling has started happening. From her front to her back and I managed to catch it on camera. Hoorah!

She has been giggling a little more, especially when I sing (not because I have a terrible voice ;) especially when I make la, la, la or da, da, da noises. I often make up songs about her when she's having her bath. They are of a mermaid theme: she's the mermaid. She seems to approve.

She chats away so much that I had a random dream that I was teaching her vowel sounds and she was saying them. Ha!

And the preschooler is convinced that she's saying 'hi' or 'mama' or 'dada' and will not be told otherwise. He's quite the big brother and tells me when she's upset that, 'She needs a feed. She needs a sleep.' It's gorgeous.
