4-6 months

Preparing for camp, camp & the aftermath of camp! Plus a visit from the Deacons over Easter. Gabriella started sleeping in her own bed for both day & night time sleeps.  She has started solids, and is now down to only 2 & a half  sleeps during the day time.

She can pretty much sit up by herself, although the rolling isn't really established.  She is talking & smiling a lot & shadows fascinate her. Random :-)  Her giggle is pretty cool too :-)

3rd month

By now we had established a pretty good routine.  Gabriella was sleeping through the night mostly & I kinda had an idea of what to expect.  She was wanting to play with toys & even started "talking."
We enjoyed a trip to Oponoui for our family reunion & lots of catching up around home.

3rd month

2nd month

This began on a trip to Auckland for Xmas with my family & then on to Taupo to be with the MCDougalls & the Deacons, then via Tauranga & back home.  We also went to camp for a week, and had a weekend away in Taupo Bay.  A great busy summer :-)

2nd month

Our first month

It was good to be home.  We had lots of visitors, recovered pretty well from the ordeal in hospital.  Still had numbness around my hips.  It was a great time just hanging out with baby & Jon was home a lot from work too.
