Winter time!

It's starting to get cold at night. We've pulled out all the winter clothes in preparation for the cold. The only problem is that all the summer clothes won't be used again because by the time summer comes around, she'll be bigger. Christina has also started to become more vocal and smiles a lot. Her little hands like to clutch things especially blankets. Posted by Picasa

Baby steps!

For a long time Gillian has wanted a close-up of little Christina's feet. Unfortunately digital cameras struggle to focus on close-ups. This photo was taken with a digital SLR camera at a friend's house on Sunday. The detail is amazing. You just want to eat the little feet! Posted by Picasa

Morning has broken....

I took this photo of Christina in the morning while I was making tea. We normally prop her up in the moses basket so that she can see what is going on around her. She is very alert in the morning after a long sleep. However, once the hands and feet start moving around, it's a sign that it's time for food! Posted by Picasa

The 6th week

This was an eventful week. Gillian and Christina had their six week appointments with their respective doctors. The collage of photos show Dr Naylor (Gill's obgyn) and Dr Dance (Christina's paedtrician). Baby Christina is now 6 weeks old and weighs 3.6kg. Gillian is happy because her height is well above average. She is now 53cm in length. Baby Christina had her (6 week) injections and she wasn't too happy afterwards but things have got better. Posted by Picasa

Christina's first dummy

This is Christina's first dummy. Gillian wanted to wait a while before giving her the dummy, but after 5 weeks I think it was time. The dummy looks very big on her small face. Posted by Picasa

The Christina Shuffle

I call this the Christina Shuffle! The facial expressions and movements when she tries to wake up are priceless. Her facial expressions when awake are also amazing. After a good feed she tends to look around and observer her surroundings. All the books we've read said that baby must not always fall asleep in your arms. But its soo difficult not to hold her when all she wants is some human contact. Posted by Picasa

Saturday at leisure

The whole week rained and it continued into Saturday. This was great because it gave me a chance to spend the whole day with Christina and watch the Winter Olympics on TV. She really likes to have human contact and sleeps much better. Posted by Picasa
