growing...

Today we had our second visit to the child health nurse to have Morganne weighed and measured...and she is THRIVING.....she has put on 830g in two weeks (now weighing 4.46kg) and grown nearly 3cm...

She still has a terrible milk / heat rash as you can see....poor thing...she is a hot baby and the weather here has been horrible...the other night the minimum was 28C and it got to 43C the next day...fortunately we are having a few cooler days again before it heats up to 40+C again on Monday...our air con is not working well so it makes it hard to keep the house cool...hopefully the rash will improve soon too...

Her colic sees a little better but we were up last night a lot for some reason...

Evangeline is still being fabulous though she is a little bored I think...we did some painting this morningAnd she made up her own pass the parcel present using her toys and bits of wrapping paper so we could play a game!And that is about it around here. I did finish my baby thank yous and posted them off...they were very basic but did the job...I cut out pink felt hearts and stapled it on some craft card stock that I had printed Morganne's name on...with a space for a message...

I have lots of ideas in my head for art pieces and craft and scrap booking...but no time to do anything at the moment...a quick dash to the supermarket when mum is here and the baby is asleep is about as much extra stuff I am managing! Oh and I did get the ironing done the other day...lol...very exciting! And cleaned the toilets today...yay!

But I cannot complain as I am loving our new addition to our family...and I am very conscious of the fact that this is the last baby around here so I plan to enjoy her as much as I do Evangeline. I hope you have nice things planned for the weekend - Lissy
