In the church, just before she was baptised...
Baptism again...
The happy family... framed for us by Christina's godfather - thanks, John, very cute...
Having fun...
More fun...
Daddy's girl...
Family again.... (Mike heading off to work just this morning)
Sleepy ...
Bye bye! (I wonder if I'll ever talk like an adult again!)
She's now 50 days old and about 12 lbs.
So here's the fabulous sling once again - don't know how we'd manage without it:
And a baby's eye view of sling-travel - doesn't it look so warm and comfy??
And here's Dad (yes, he does get her sometimes). Email me with suggestions for what the baby's thinking:
Here she is gazing up at her special infant development mobile, kindly gifted by pregnant friend Melodie in the States. Christina loves it, thanks Mel. She goes daft when we turn the card you see here to the baby's face - her little arms and legs go nineteen to the dozen:
And just to prove we haven't completely forgotten (or lost) our other child...
And one last pic of Her Royal Cuteness. Sorry Gran, we know you hate these outfits with ears...
.... here's what she arrived in - the fabulous home birthing pool, which helped bring her out in record time for a first baby: the midwife recorded a delivery time of 2 hours and 5 minutes! What an amazing experience! And the pool will make a great kiddies paddling pool (when half inflated) in a couple of years! The baby sling is also proving a big hit.
So very soon we'll be focusing on another child in the family (what? a dog isn't a child? really?) and never fear, Sam will be welcomed by the little one bringing a special squeaky toy, carefully put to one side at the moment.
And just in case you are concerned as to how I'm doing at 38 weeks pregnant, here's me working hard on the new decking....
And one last thing .... here's Mike's very own new baby:
... a Honda CG125, which he bought shiny and almost-new with only 80 miles on the clock two weeks ago, so any little scratches that appear on it are a major tragedy! But I must admit, it's a beauty, not that I'll be on it any time soon!
That's all for now.... will be in touch if there is any news.... :-)
