Hello!

Hi Everyone!

Just a quick email as its storming outside so i really should switch off the PC!

Yesterday I took Liberty for a walk in the Baby Bjorn Carrier along the beach! It was LIberty's first time at the beach and it was a beautiful day! I didnt have my camera but i did have my mobile so i took a littel 'selfie' of us! Oh and a photo of the sky cos i thought it looked pretty...

Tomorrow, my family is coming down for a visit and in the afternoon im meeting up with my Mothers Group - yay! Busy day! Its good mum and dad are coming down as they will be able to entertain Liberty whilst Matt and I pack... Yep! We are going on a holiday! Our first holiday just the three of us! We are off to Perth for 8 days!

See you all in blogland next week when we get back!!!

Liberty's Feet - 8 weeks old...

Layout...

Wow! Im back!! This is the first layout i've done since Liberty was born (exactly 2 months ago today!). Im a bit annoyed at my printer as it seems to be printing all my photos really dark! Plus today is an awful rainy dark day so i couldn't take a good photo of my layout which has resulted in the photo looking even darker, but i think you get the idea!! lol
Its a pretty plain layout! I think i've just got to get back into it and they will get more 'busy'! I cant remember where half my scrapbooking things are stashed! Haha!

Yesterday...

Yesterday Bec came over and hung out with Liberty and I in the morning, and we went up to the Narrabeen markets to look around! I actually remember seeing a stall for picnic blankets a few months back and I was looking for it as, i'd like a nice picnic rug (with a plastic bottom) so i can take Liberty out n about. The stall wasn't there.. any suggestions of any where nice picnic rugs are sold??

In the afternoon Liberty and I went back over to the markets and also went to visit Matty at work... Uhm, before you scroll down any further...
Can you spot the baby in the next photo?? heheheOur future little Kayaker is already trying out the stock to see which one she likes best!! We've already got a Weeniwave for her for when she's a bit bigger!!

Whilst helping her daddy at work, Liberty and Matt went out on the pedal boat for a little cruise on the lake..

This was Liberty's first time out on the lake (8 weeks old) Then Liberty and I went home and she was ALL SMILES from such a good day...

I forgot to blog these piccies of Liberty (at 6 weeks old) playing her favourite game on the excerise ball... so Cute!

Last night Liberty woke at 1am (not happy jan!) so im a little tired today from a bad sleep, but im also excited as its Mothers Group at the clinic and we are having a little party and taking our camera's along to take photos of all the babies!! (i wont be able to blog them as i dont know the mummies that well yet and id have to ask them for permition before putting a their babies on my blog)

Have a good day!!

Hello!

Wednesdays are Matt, Liberty and My 'family day'. We make sure we go out and do something as a family! We were going to go indoor climbing but its school holidays so figured it would be pretty busy, so instead we drove to Macquarie Shopping Centre (a centre we dont usually go to) to do some shopping for a new arrival in our group of friends (will come to that later in the post!!). The shopping centre has an ice skating rink in it, so it was fun to sit there eating lunch watching all the kids iceskate!

On Thursday my mum came down and stayed the night to visit Liberty and Matt and I ofcourse! She spoils us so much! She brought a little outfit for Liberty and we spent the afternoon at Warringah mall, and Liberty got spoilet again!! She has the biggest wardrobe ever, lucky girl! Mum bought me a top too! I so wanted to buy it with my own money that mum gave me for doing a job for her, but nope, im too spoilet!! She also vaccuumed, and cooked a yummy dinner for us (thanks mum!)! Liberty was so so smiley and chatty, its so cute, she is so alert and wants to know what is going on all the time!!

Yesterday Matty, Liberty and I went to visit Steve and Eva and their brand new baby boy... Fynn! He is adorable and so so tiny!!! I cant believe Liberty was ever that tiny (and it was only 7 weeks ago!). I made Steve, Eva and Fynn a nappy cake as a gift... I will post up about that in the next few days..

Introducing baby Fynn Gardner born 15.07.08, 3kg. With his very proud parents! Eva is coping so well, she's already been out walking & to the shops, she is doing great! And Steve is a natural Daddy!

Liberty also got to meet Fynn!! Fynn slept right through it and Liberty was just wondering what was going on!! Hahaha, she looks gigantic next to him!!!

My First...

... Nappy Cake!

I recieved a nappy cake at my baby shower back in february and I thought it was such an awesome gift! I've been wanting to make one ever since! And finally...

My good friend Mandy gave birth to a beautiful baby girl: Nyla May
*Congratulations Moo & Paulo!*

Perfect opportunity to make her a cake! I just had to check wether she was going to be a cloth or disposable nappy mum!

Today was a busy day, we had some visitors... Uncle John John and Aunty Siany brought lunch and came for a visit to see uhm, Me & Matt?? Well, yes, but mostly to visit Liberty who they havent seen in about a month! I think they were excited to see her smiling and talking now!

Uncle John... Aunty Siany...

I was lucky! I got a break as John and Sian ended up staying for dinner! And John cooked! Yum! It was so nice for Matt and I not to have to cook plus my brother is a great cook! And Sian did the dishes, oh and fixed the broken blind!! THANKS GUYS!

Whilst John was cooking... Siany was baby sitting Liberty!! heheh! I got to relax and watch teli!! And chat to everyone too ofcourse! (ignore teh messy house!)

and last but not least... Here is a piccie of Liberty in her new leggings that she recieved on the weekend from Leea! They are so cute!

ETA: Here is Aunty Siany holding Liberty in the Baby Bjorn at the shopping centre today! Liberty loved it so much that she fell asleep!
