Laziness

Mom's too lazy to find a nice photo to put on this posting - sorry to everyone who was hoping for a nice picture of Michaela.

All's well here. Mom is done with the Christmas preparations - tree up and decorated, cards sent, all presents bought and wrapped (apart from a few online purchases still to come). Can't believe how organised this year seems to have been. Dad is still writing his cards, but other than that, all done!

Michaela met Santa Jim Budge on Friday at the Bigton Toddlers Christmas party. She took her present from Santa herself. Don't think she understands any of it, but she's happy to take presents! She just loves going to Toddlers. If she's grumpy, tired or hungry, all is forgotten about once she sees all the other kids running around. She just wants to join in, which I don't think will be far off!

In the lead up to Mom, Michaela and Granny up-by going to America, we wanted to try Michaela on a few jars of bought food. So, Mom went to Boots to buy a few jars to try over the festive period. Well, turns out the first stage food is actually runnier than anything Mom has been making at home, so Michaela is not keen. Mom just wishes the labels had said 'runny' or 'lumpy' or something, as stage two said from seven months, so it wasn't bought. Oh well, lesson learned.

Anyway, this is a tired posting as Michaela has been up all hours of the night recently. People said once solids were started, she should be sleeping better, but for us, it's been the opposite! Maybe it's just a coincidence, but the very day we started her on solids, her sleep got disturbed. Great! We're starting to introduce a tea time meal, so hopefully that will help some. Here's hoping........
