Swimming, aka floating about

Here's Michaela having a fantastic time swimming. This was the first time letting her go in a floating seat and she just loved it! She tried kicking about as well. So, this is a huge hit and Mom will definitely be taking the cheap ebay seat to the pool all the time.

Other news from this week - Mom survived all by herself with Michaela. And most mornings, she seemed to realise it was only Mom around and slept in longer than usual - yippee! On Wednesday, granny up-bye came home from America and for Michaela, it was just like she never left! She seemed to recognise her granny and has been loving having her back home. Here's hoping this is a good sign for when Mom goes back to work and granny takes care of Michaela. On Thursday, Michaela met Santa at Bookstart at the library and even took a present from him. And on Friday, Michaela was 6 months old. She had to get another injection, but she coped fine with it. All made better with Daddy coming home at night.

Now the family is just starting to gear up for Christmas. Most of the presents have been bought and Mom has even written out nearly all of her Christmas cards. (Dad still hasn't started with his cards, but has done well with the presents) The tree is up and will be decorated tomorrow hopefully. Wishing for a stress-free lead up to Christmas...........
