11 months old!

"Hello. I'm 11 months old today, around 11 kilos and can say lots and lots of words including "bath" for the first time yesterday. I can stand up holding on, (and for a few seconds without), crawl REALLY fast (run Sassy RUN) and amuse my big brother and sister with my cuteness. It's funny when music comes on and I say 'dance' and they all dance for me too"

We LOVE Baby Teresa!

If you are looking for something for your baby, or for a gift, please check out Baby Teresa - a fantastic local organisation that donate a suit to a baby in need for every one they sell.  They are now also donating formula to babies in need with every accessory purchase (like these super cute hats and bibs).  They have some terrific baby shower gift packs too.

Oops I did it again!

The Grade 6 classes at Lauren school hold an annual Easter Raffle to raise money for their end of year dinner.  Like last year, we bought 3 books of tickets and sold some to family and friends, and also donated some chocolate for the prizes. Last year Patrick got 3rd prize and I got 11th but had gestational diabetes and couldn't eat even one!  Patrick - not known for his good sharing when it comes to chocolate, should have been more generous because this year I got 8th prize (of 8) and Lauren clearly remembered me saying that I would give it to her if I won (as a lesson to Patrick!).  Kind girl that she is, she did share a few eggs with him this year (not bad considering it was ME who won them!)  The bag included two big bunnies, 14 egg sized eggs and a bag of solid eggs.  Out of 700+ tickets sold, I think we did pretty well (again:)

Poor Nanna however, missed out again despite buying quite a few tickets. It's OK though Mum, Carter will be in Grade 6 in 2024 - you can try again then :)
