Mayana’s Holiday

We are currently on a short get-away to Noosa, for my Dad’s birthday… we’ve had such a great time, which you’ll be able to read about here.

Mayana has enjoyed lots of cuddles…

 

Falling asleep with Opa at the RSL

 

A very smitten Uncle Lukey gets some practise in! Luke and Mich’s daughter (Mayana’s best friend) is due in August.

 

Hanging out with Lockey (my sister’s boyfriend)

 

Mayana wishes she could have some of Mama’s Rolo flavoured ice-cream from the Kenilworth Cheese Factory…

These are Mayana’s new favourite toy. They are shiny, colourful, light and easy to pick up, feel nice to chew on AND they make a cool noise. What’s not to love!?

little lady has fun in the bath

“Goodmorning Mama!”. I just love the way she had her little legs crossed with her hand on her leg. Like a little lady. *sigh* my baby is the prettiest baby!

Mayana loves these ‘bath stickers’ that she got as a present from Eleanor. They’re foam sea creatures and when wet the stick to the side of the bath or shower. Today we discovered they also float, and are veeeeery interesting to a 14.5 week old baby. She stared at them whilst kicking and laughing for close to 10 minutes. That’s a long time for a baby!

 

In the last few days, Mayana has discovered that she can reach out and hold onto things with her hands!

Once she has a good grip on them, they generally go straight into the mouth…

Little Miss Dribble Guts

Can you see how wet her shirt is around the top?? She drools all day long, and her bibs are all too big to make a difference! Isn’t she a cutie-pie!

Mayana and Papa

They love each other soooooo much!

happy, healthy, gorgeous

Mayana LOVES the new mobile that Uncle Daniel and Aunty Katherine (Mayana’s Godparents) sent her over from Scotland. It’s just what we needed to keep her distracted during nappy changes! Thanks guys!!!!

first solids

Much earlier than anticipated, but for reasons explained here I have today given Mayana her first taste of Farex.

All set and ready to go!

Mayana’s runny farex with breast milk, before we started..

 

First taste on Mama’s finger… “mmm what’s this Mama!?”

Once she got used to it I moved to the spoon…
She opened wide as soon as it went near her mouth

 

“Mmmm this is good Mama!”

 

This was the face she’d pull when it would first go in her mouth. Then she’d just start gobbling it up!

 

And what was left! She actually had a little bit more after this was taken.

Full tummy, what a yummy treat!

3 months old!

Yesterday my gorgeous girl was 3 months old! Who can even believe that!! It’s gone sooo fast – I wish the last 3 months of pregnancy had gone that quickly, lol. Nah I LOVED being pregnant, but I love being a mummy more!

The pic on the left is Mayana’s first time in her pram, at 5 days old, and on the right is Mayana today, at 3 months 1 day ready for a picnic in the park.

She is still such a little petite thing, 8lbs 6oz at last weigh-in (nearly 3.8kg) – smaller than many of my friend’s baby’s were at birth! But she does feel big to us, compared to her newborn self. I can’t wait for her to fit into all of the gorgeous 0000 clothes that she has waiting for her though, lol.
