The big ol' 12 Weeks

Twelve weeks today my baby girl, Cadence was born, and true to her nickname name: Bemer, she is such a smiler. Her Baloo managed to capture the gorgeous gummy smile of hers on Sunday, so as soon as I get copies of those I'll upload them.

I think Madison is starting to see Cady as a playmate and she even is tring to teach her colours. Yesterday Madison brought her bottle with the yellow cap to Cady and showed her it and said ' yewo'. Then last night Maddy first had a bath with her Mama and then she climbed out and Daddy passed Cady in and Maddy gave her a floaty duck to play with. Cadence loved the big bath and was wide eyed, yet quite relaxed in the water. Soon she is going to have to bath in the big bath as the is about the length of her baby bath and kicks in the side and she ends up bumping her head.

Cady now has a lot more control of her hands and if I sit her in her bouncer chair with the toy bar infront of her she stretches her hands out. The little darling can't quite control them but gets very excited trying to.

I find myself falling deeper and deeper inlove with her everyday - I can't get enough of giving er adorable cheeks kisses and she loves it when her mommy gives her kisses on the mouth. Sometimes I want to squeeze her so tightly - she is such a little muffin (as her daddy calls her). When she battles to go to sleep, she loves dancing with her daddy to the Breeze radio channel - she snuggles into his neck and begins to make baby snoring noices.

We truely do have a beautiful little family and I look forward to everyday!!!

What an eventful week!

Well last week Maddy turned 22mths, Cady had her BCG jabs, all three girls of the house were sick, Daddy gave us a scare - with a trip to the hospital, Daddy had the snip-snip. However, the most wonderful thing also started happening .... Cadence smiles at her Mama all the time and is now beginning to Coo. She has the most adorable voice, not to mention a dashing smile, this week it is my mission to capture her gummy grin with te camera.

Yeasterday I lay her in her little 'playhouse' with dangling toys and she battered away for a little while... Greg caught her smiling one of the times she managed to make contact with the toy. This morning she lay there doing the same thing for about 15-20min, quite happily.

Its like she is becoming a little person instead of this adorable lump that feeds, sleeps, farts and poos.

Poor wee Cady

Aaah ... my poor baby had her immunizations today: there she was: kicking and stretching and then her Mama holds her still while a nasty lady pokes a BIG needle in her little thigh, turns her over and does the same in the other side. I couldn't pick her up quick enough to let her know Mommy loved her ... then she had some MBJ (Magic Booby Juice) to make her feel better.

Shame Maddy was very concerned and didn't like a strange lady touching 'her baby' - got quite upset when Cady started crying and tried to get between the nurse and Cadence. I had to reassure her that Mommy was there and Cady was ok.

Cadence had a good sleep this afternoon and I gave her a whole 2mls of paracetamol - she has gone to sleep in her bed without too much fussing today and is getting so good at putting herself to sleep. Even went into her room, at one stage, to get something and she was awake - But, she fluttered her eyelids and went back to sleep. So encouraging to watch.
