I have a whole week off work! Hurrah! I get to spend 11 days in a row with Daisy! Hurrah! We are going up to the mountains to the cold! To sit in front of the fire, drink my body weight in wine, and do nothing! Hurrah!Later suckers... … [Read more...]

Before I forget the details thought I better write them down for posterity. I guess this is some sort of baby book for her – well it will have to do as I don’t have anything else! We had Daisy’s 18 month check up and shots last week (the last of the vaccinations until she is 4 – yay for that!). She … [Read more...]

I am always going on about Daisy in here. Or me. But we wouldn't have either of these things without a certain someone. A certain husband and Dad. Let me tell you just how lucky I am to have a partner like Rob. For no reason other than I love him. Dearly. And who I appreciate so very much. And who I … [Read more...]

You know that things have changed when your own birthday doesn't really mean much to you but more of a chance to let your own child enjoy it and see the joy that they get from it. Don't get me wrong...I love a birthday and still do but I have come to realise that I love more seeing Daisy get into … [Read more...]

We had another great weekend. Very relaxed spent mostly at home but it was LOVELY. Friday night we stayed in and watched the opening ceremony and spent quite a bit of time on the computer looking at the apartment that we have booked in Paris and planning all of the great things we are going to do … [Read more...]

This may be mistaken for a Mia Michaels original but it's all Daisy Macdonald's work... … [Read more...]

Yesterday I had another one of those milestone moments with Daise - we went and had her fitted for her first pair of shoes! Don't get me wrong I have not had her barefoot for the past 18 months - she has been wearing shoes but now that she has been walking for a few weeks I was advised to wait until … [Read more...]

So....we have been throwing around the idea of an overseas holiday at Christmas for the past few months. My sister and her boyfriend live over in London and I miss them both terribly. I am very close to Lucy and have so missed her being a part of my life now as a mother - sharing all the small … [Read more...]

Daise has been having a GOOD time lately. Weekends have been filled with cousins and outings and good quality time with Mum and Dad. There have been trips to the park, the zoo, play dates with cousins and yesterday her cousin Ashley's 1st birthday party. She is finally getting into the swing of them … [Read more...]

It's 2 years today since I (well actually Rob made the first and his only entry) posted the very first entry to say we were having a baby and so this blog began. Have a look at what can happen in that time...200620072008I have so enjoyed having this little outlet and sharing our stories with you. … [Read more...]

Well what a weekend I have had. What a lucky lady! Rob managed to take Friday off work as well (this truly never ever happens) and we spent the day with his brother and sister in law and their 3 little girls which was great fun. They have the most amazing house and play room which has EVERY toy you … [Read more...]

So...Wednesday night I got home from work, Daisy and Rob got home from daycare and work and Rob asked me what I had planned on Thursday. I told him that I wanted to hang out at home and let Daisy rest as much as she could as she is always exhausted after her 3 days at daycare. He then proceeds to … [Read more...]

In my sentimental blogging mode I give you Miss Daisy. In pictures. From the beginning... … [Read more...]

I have just spent the first part of my morning reading my list of blogs. A habit and ritual that has become part of my life and one which I never thought I would have. I never knew about the world of blogs before Rob and I decided that we would be all cutting edge and get one for ourselves. This … [Read more...]

We spent the weekend up at my Dad's place at the beach. Daise and I headed out of Sydney on Friday morning and got up there about 1pm and then Rob came up after work on Friday night. We had a lovely time relaxing and running after our little lady. Daisy had the BEST time using those little legs to … [Read more...]

It seems I have found a new hobby and favourite past time that I can't stop doing. Not sure if you have ever tried it? It's beating yourself up. Not physically. But mentally I am giving it a really good go.It seems that the last few months I have been up and down and up and down with my emotions. A … [Read more...]

We have seen some concerts this past week. Firstly we started at the Playschool concert on Friday with my Mum and my brothers little lady Mia. The girls had a great time. I was unsure how Daise was going to take it after the Wiggles debacle but she loved every minute. She stood up and danced and … [Read more...]

SO this happened on the weekend:Rob and I are both so proud of our little girl. I tell you it was a LONG time coming as almost every child I know has walked before 17 months but I am still bursting with pride for her. You should see her face. She is just so pleased with herself and stops to clap … [Read more...]

Daisy is almost walking. Solo. Well not really, but her walking really has improved. And I thought that was worth writing about. She is happy to walk between the two of us (Rob and I) or any 2 people that she trusts and is now more confident with the walking while just holding onto one hand. She is … [Read more...]
