Where is the little little baby we once had?

Bella is developing to quick, we have padded most of the corners on tables but still we can't keep up to her tempo! She still doesn't really crawl but instead stand up to everything and lets go of her hands.....result she falls mostly down on her big padded bum but sometimes not?

When she gets angry she throw herself backwards and hit her heads, we don't like that!!!

She pulls herself up on us holding on to clothes or the skin in daddys case his hair!? hi hi hi then of course let go on one hand and then on the other stands unsupported for 3 secs and then falls down.....dangerous little girl!

She has had her first cold! She got it on friday from another baby and then over the weekend she refused to sleep in the night. She got fever, screamed, had blocked nose and couldn't use the dummy, got panic when she tried to eat from the bottle because she couldn't breath properly
:( very sad little girl and exhausted parents!!! Now we afraid of getting evicted because of her screams???? Is that possible?

I have read there is about 20 diffrent viruses causing cold and no treatment of course.
We tried: panadol-for the fever, camomile tea-calming, no milk-less mucus/slime, more fruits-more fluids, walking with her close/babybjorn/sling, sleeping upright. Thank's God we are two people so we both can get a break and make a coffee for the other one and get throw this together :)

In the end it's just a cold! but hardwork for new parents!!!!!!

Toys'R Us

When me and dad went to the shop I instantly saw a green gitarr and guess what I played it and then it was mine!!!!

On the tram home noone could rest!!!

Mum just loves it....not :)

What's in the box?

I wonder what I can find here?

Swimming!

Yeah we had a great time in the water, kicking and laughing......next week we do it again!

Hope you all had a great weekend as I did!!!!

Tram

Saturday morning mum and dad took me on the tram to the big city and the big gym. There they worked out and I played on the ground and finally I got to get into the pool and swim around! I enjoyed that a lot. I also tried the sauna and steam room for a few minutes, nice and warm! Then I was so tired after all the fun that I fell asleep on the tram home!

Fun!

My own jolly jumper!!!

Boring!

At mums group I tried the Joly jumper, pretty boring :)
but once I got a idea what to do it was more fun then on this photo!!!!

I am growing and growing.....

Mum had to lower the bed when she saw me this morning reaching over the bed!!!! She is afraid I will tip over......I am so happy standing up. I don't really crawl but try to stand right up from sitting?????? Is that normal?

Crawling before walking I've hear or......

Summer baby!


Bella loves the beach because the water and the sand feels great to play with. She is a bit brown in her skin even though we are careful with the sun!?

UV-radiation

UV radiation is sometimes extremely high here in Australia so most babies are kept inside or in the shadow. We try our best to keep Bella in the shadow or cover arm and legs with thin clothes alternative suncream. Bella refuse to have a hat on nowadays and we need to put it on and on and on again. Finaly she will have to accept the fact that living in Australia as a kid means: hat on!
We also avoid the beach between 11.00-16.00.

Slowly up on all four!

Bella moves around the house very slowly but still she end up under the table or the sofa, hitting her head on some corners, finding the electric cable and chew on it, dragging down newspaper from the table, trying to chew the stool, spreading the x-box games everywhere and turning of the TV!!!

Because of that I no longer can go to Baby-yoga with her :( only up to that they are not moving around and she is. None of the other 7 months move around!?

Anyway we went to our mothersgroup for the first time in 7 weeks and boy what the other babies have grown!!! One little boy 5 month gets up on all four to, but still he doesn't move around, good for his mum!!!

Weather for the weekend:
40 degress and sun!!!! crazy!!! We will spend the day at a shopping mall because of the aircondition and all the exiting shops, food and coffeplaces, enough people for Bella to smile to so she can feel some socialising!!!

Crawling on the grass.

I better see what's over there.....

Grass is fun!


I like to feel the grass with my hands and feet!

Birdy nam nam....

Hi there what are you? I better follow you around to figure out what kind of fun toy/person you are!!! Bella turned her neck almost 180 degrees to be able to follow the birds movement!!!

Today we spend some time at the beach just after breakfast around 16.00!? anyway the water is warm and nice! Tomorrow is the old routine and we gonna meet a friend of mum that just had a baby!

Home!

After a great last week with lots of activites and a fun we entered the plane. It was a sad moments when we said goodbye on the airport and we all cried a bit! Mostly because we don't know when we see eachother again and grandmother and Bella got a special bond!!!!!!

A longer stop in Singapore where we used the airport hotell as a nice break, got bathed and cleaned up, changed clothes.....stinky!!! and got to eat. Bella played in the bath and then she fell asleep while I was watching a Singaporian dance competition on TV :). English is the official language in Singapore or actually Mandarin/english which is very diffrent, Chinese people don't pronunce the letter R so every english word sounds very funny ;) !!!!

In total it took us 19 hours in actual flying time but about 30 hours with all the waiting and boarding time. Bella got her own crib in frot of my seat which is a blessing otherwise I don't know how you get to eat and drink with a baby on your lap! Impossible!

She charmed everyone on the plane and on the airport with her smiles and funny expressions!

Dad was waiting for us and brought us home 8.00 in the morning to a sunny beautiful summerday! The day was spend sleeping, eating and of course a short trip along the beach to Starbucks. Bella and daddy was playing and get to know eachother again. She is soo BIG now and safty is our priority from now on!

Hugs Bella, mum and dad!

Great to be back and hear the silence in the night! No car or other city sounds!

Great grandfather = gammel morfar

On the way up to my great grandfather in the north. First time on a train for about 4 hours.

Very smooth and comfortable. Sit back and enjoy the nature over a cuppa (coffee)! The weather was sparkling sunny and white!

Lalandia

We all jumped into a few cars and drove a few hours to Lalandia in Danmark. We booked a house for 3 nights and enjoyed the place. Lalandia has a big entertainment area for kids such as waterpark, bowling, games area, skiipark and so on... for adults there is lots of good restaurants!!!

Busted.
