Church Nursery

Erin goes to church nursery once the sermon starts. One of us goes with her as she is still VERY happy to have the mom or the dad close by. The toddlers listen to a story, draw, play musical instruments and have some free play. Brendon and I have signed up to serve on the Kidz Club nursery rooster so we are pleased to be back in our groove.

Quality time with Daddy

Erin's first haircut

Erin is 21 months old now, weighs 12kgs and is a force to be reckoned with. So today we decided to brave whatever fate was in store for us and take her for a haircut. To our amazement she sat through the whole experience unphased and entertained by "Tom and Jerry". As her reward she went on the horse merry-go-round that is strategically located outside the salon!

Tea for two

Erin had a play date with a friend from church. They had tea, played in the garden and had a good time. After a couple of hours Erin, fetched her shoes, my shoes and my handbag to make sure that I knew that she was ready to go home.

The naked one!

For the past couple of weeks Erin's thing has been to take off her clothes and then her nappy. Anywhere any time! Luckily there have not been any presents left for me when I don't get to her in time.

A new phase

Since returning from the UK at the end of August Erin decided she was no longer interested in a night feed and started sleeping through the night. What a joy for Brendon and I to be able to get some decent shut eye. Owen only slept through the night at 2.5 years, just before Erin arrived! So we haven't had proper sleep for almost 4 years.

Erin has a morning sleep around 10am for a couple of hours and then goes to sleep for night at 6pm. She then wakes around 5.30am if there are no dramas in the night. It does mean that we are in bed by 9pm.

More teeth

Erin now has 12 teeth. 6 on the bottom and 6 on the top. The top first molars were a difficult stage but luckily that has passed. Now the two canine teeth at the bottom are trying to make their way out. Roll on the last 8!
