Daisy, you are 1 today. Your Dad and I can't quite believe that you are there already. Such a big girl! This is your story of how you came into the world.We went to see the doctor (Jan) the day before you were born and she told us that she thought it would be a good idea to bring you into the world … [Read more...]

I have been very reflective these last few days and am feeling quite emotional about Daisy's 1st birthday on Thursday. I just can't quite believe that we have all made it through a year. A whole year! I keep thinking back to this time last year. How impatient I was for the baby to arrive. How … [Read more...]

My Pa Frank died yesterday. He has been sick for a few a months now so we knew that it was coming but still I feel very sad. I still can't believe that you can be here one day and then not. I am glad that he is out of his pain now and can rest in peace. I am also glad that he got to meet Daisy and … [Read more...]

I don't think I have EVER been as proud as when Daisy FINALLY took the plunge and decided that she actually might like to crawl. My heart soared when I watched her determination and happiness when she got what she was after. I shed a tear. I am pathetic! … [Read more...]

We had planned to have a quiet long weekend to celebrate Australia Day and in true fashion we ended up filling it up and being exhausted by the end of it. It was a lovely 3 days though - any excuse to spend time with Rob and Daise and I am there!It started on Thursday night when we saw the Police - … [Read more...]

Something happens to me when Daisy isn't sleep in bed by 7pm. Something in me snaps when she cuts into the only "me" time I have in the day. There are of course exceptions, like when we are away, or at a friend's place etc, and the 7pm rule can be stretched to 7.30 - 8.00 (at the latest) but on a … [Read more...]

I think I am turning into one of the mothers that I didn't want to be. You know the "we can't go there because Daisy needs to sleep then" - timing everything around when the baby needs to sleep, or eat. I had illusions of being carefree, Daisy sleeping anywhere, anytime without a care or problem in … [Read more...]

As Daisy loved the pool so much when we were up at the farm I decided to splash out(excuse the pun) and purchase a $10 pool for the back courtyard at home. She was very pleased with it and spent most of the weekend in there. I am happy with it as she gets exhausted from all the splashing. The … [Read more...]

After a day where Daise did NOT STOP WHINGING ALL DAY I am certain that the last thing I need is another baby. Rewind and delete any thoughts there on that one.I have been the crankiest person all day not sure if I am because of Daisy or if she has picked up my vibe and ran with it herself. But from … [Read more...]

I have to admit that I am feeling VERY clucky today. I had the most vivid dream last night about the most DIVINE baby boy. The dream went on and on detailing my pregnancy and then the delivery and I can remember that when they handed me the baby I was sure that it was going to be another little girl … [Read more...]

We arrived up at EIEIO on boxing day for 10 glorious and relaxing days. Alan has just put in THE pool and we felt like we were at some fantastic resort. Daisy took to the pool and after the first time in she loved it. The swimming was great as she was exhausted by the end of the day and slept at … [Read more...]

Daisy had a FABULOUS first Christmas! A belated entry but one nonetheless! We started our Christmas holidays up at my Dad's place at Pearl Beach with all the family. Dad had to play Santa for the town and arrived on the back of the fire truck in a sleigh! It was hilarious! We then headed back to … [Read more...]

Yesterday we picked up our tree (it smells divine) and decorated it with our little lady helping. She was most impressed with the lights and the star on the top - in fact we think she said star! I love having the smell of a fresh tree in the house it just feels like Christmas! We started our first … [Read more...]

We had Daisy's Christening on the weekend and what a lovely occasion it was! She was the best little lady all day - I think she knew that she was the centre of attention and she just loved it (wonder where she gets that from?). The Mass was lovely and Daisy and all of our family featured quite a lot … [Read more...]

It seems that I just can't quite catch my breath at the moment. It appears that it is now December. I am unsure when that happened but here we are!We have had some really busy weekends these last few weeks having to fit in 3-4 things/events a day so when it comes round to Sunday night we are all … [Read more...]

When did this happen and how can I make it all slow down????? I cannot believe that my baby girl is almost 9 months. That means that she has been longer out than in and we have managed to keep her alive and well (some might even say thriving!).What a big girl she is now. We took some pictures of her … [Read more...]

It's been a busy week or so in the life of Miss Daisy May. We have had a trip to emergency last week - she was bitten by mosquitoes at daycare last week and had some sort of reaction to them where her little hands blew up and were all swollen. When she woke up the next day I took her straight up to … [Read more...]

Daisy has taken to talking and we can't seem to keep her quiet! (I wonder where that comes from?) She loves to say Mummamumaa ma ma ma when she is either hungry, tired, thirsty, cranky or wants to be picked up. Da da Da da is used for chatting with her Daddy or when she is happy. Funny how that … [Read more...]
