Pretty in pink.

Gillian bought this outfit recently and she couldn't wait to put Christina into it. The little ears on the hood look soo cute! This week Christina rolled over onto her stomach for the first time. She is also a lot more aware of objects around her. She likes grabbing things and putting them into her mouth. The problem now is that she really needs to be watched to make sure she doesn't hurt herself. 

I'm back!

It's been a longtime since the website has been updated but so much has happened in this period. Christina is more aware of her surroundings and responds with the most beautiful smiles when Gillian or myself speak to her. She has put on weight and her arms and legs are chubby. I look forward to coming home and interacting with her. I just hope she doesn't get a bad cold this winter. People think I'm a hypochondriac but I try to minimize her exposure to places where there are a large number of people and poor air circulation. I also think the fact that Gillian isn't exposed to other's with colds and flu also helps. Work is hectic but we are looking forward to going to the great grandparents to show them 'little one'. This photo is more than a month old now but it is one of my favourites. 

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. 

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! 

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! 

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. 

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.
