15 months

Megan will be 15 months old on Monday! She did a funny thing today which made us laugh! She decided that she was tired this evening and wanted to go to bed so she did! Well partly! She first waved at me a few times until I realised she wanted me to come with her to the bottom of the stairs. Realising she wanted to go upstairs I told her she had to kiss Daddy nite nite before she goes, so she went back into the living room to kiss daddy! Aaa! Then she started crawling upstairs, but because we have a window half way up, she got distracted wanting to look outside! She also likes to go up and down the stairs lots so she forgot about bed for a while. But about 20 mins later she did go to bed! Clever girl!

Happy Christmas!

Hope everyone has survived the festive season without too much stress!! It seemed to creep up on  me this year, and now its over! We had a good time though.
Christmas Eve we went to the crib service at weybridge with Megan dressed as an Angel which was good. She looked so cute in her wings parading around the church with all the other angels! My eyes were misting up a tad! Then we had Caz, and the Claire's and Steve & Vicki over that evening for drinks and chat which was great! Although the late night Triv seemed to go on a bit! I ended up wrapping Megans presents while playing! And yes, the new version of Triv is a bit dumbed down, (even I could answer most questions!) but the occasional question is completely impossible!
Xmas Day, Megan woke us at 6am as usual! We took her down to see her wrapped up presents but she just looked at them a bit bemused! She is still a bit young to get into unwrapping! So we hepled her out. She has got loads of presents and our living room now looks like a nursery but she loves her new Kitchen and play tunnel! (Ta Lisa!)

Lurgy!

Megan and I have come down with the lurgy this week! Sort of a flu like thing. I think I've had a blocked nose now for a week! But M is coping well, poor mite!
I took her to our mother and toddler group just to get out of the house and although she wanted to cuddle most of the time, she still managed to get up and dance to the nursery ryhmes at the end!

14 months!

Megan will be 14 months old on friday! Doesnt time fly! She looks so grown up now that she can walk around. And she has finally managed to sleep through the night on a regular basis! Yippee! (I probably could have sorted that out sooner if I hadn't kept going to her at night & feeding her but you live and learn!)
At the moment she likes to:
Feed the ducks.
Play with her friends or any random child!
Dance to music.
Draw on mummy's work with her pens!
Read magazines.
Empty contents of anyone's handbag she can find!
She also loves her food!
She can say - Daddy/ Hiya/ Duck/ Quack/ Moo/ Yes/ No.
What more do you need?!

Yay! It was! She did

Yay! It was! She did wake up, but it didnt take her long to go back to sleep.

Megan managed to sleep through

Megan managed to sleep through twice last week! And she hasnt woken up before 3.30am at all! Hopefully it will be another good night tonight! Touch wood!

Baby Tamsin!

Congratulations to Lisa and Cameron on the birth of their second daughter! Tamsin Sarah (6lb 9oz).

6 wks till Christmas!!

Aagh! Must start making some lists. Must get organised. Have watched White Christmas already! Was very good but not quite in the mood yet!
Megan is running around now, falling over lots and has grazed her little knees! Aaah! We've been stopping the feeds at night now as it is not a good look when you go to meetings and nod off!! So enough is enough! We wait longer before going to her now and I dont feed her so she is better if D goes to her. Oh what a shame! Last night she slept till 4am before needing a cuddle, which is much better than 11pm, 2pm, 4pm! Then she slept till 6! Yey!
She is also copying what you say now which is v. amusing, and she loves to dance to music, particularly the Jag theme tune! (Rousing Naval band type music!)

Getting chilly!

Winter is coming according to the weather man! But what does he know! I briefly considered putting up the outside christmas lights before its gets cold this year, but where's the fun in that! No frostbitten fingers! Must start doing a christmas list I guess! But then again it could wait a bit longer!
Megan is doing really well. She can now stand up without holding on to anything. She is in to all the cup'ds and likes to hide stuff for me! Apparently my hairbrush belongs in the bin! She can climb up and down the stairs. and loves to press the buttons on her toys that play music! Which can get a tad samey after a while!!
She had her MMR yesterday which she was very brave for. She stopped crying after leaving the room and the nasty nurses who stick needles in babies all day! I feel sorry for them! But no more injections now for a few years. Yey!

Happy Birthday to mee!!

I thought being 33 wouldn't affect me as I see 30 and 35 as bigger milestones, but its still a reminder you are getting older! So I'm having a little lull, but getting through it by eating lots of chocolates, profiteroles and going shopping with my birthday money!!
I was also supposed to go to dinner on friday and saturday night but I had a stomach bug so didnt feel much like eating! But have rearranged a dinner for this weekend instead. Yummy! Have also lost so much weight, that I fitted a size 8 skirt yesterday! Which is a bonus but may be only temporary after all this chocolate!!
