Dancing Baby

It’s a bit dark, but here’s some fun footage of a dancing Jade.  We got this activity table recently from eBay, and she loves it!  Money well spent.

On The Move

On Saturday Jade turned 8 months.  Where did the time go? 

The last couple of weeks have been exciting ones in the life of an 8 month old.  After watching all of the other babies at mother’s group start crawling, Jade finally decided it was time to give it a go.  So she has been commando crawling diagonally for just over a week now, and all of a sudden a few days ago she sat up from crawling.  I am one very proud mummy!

Here is a heap of recent footage for those who are interested…

February Baby

Here are photos from February.  In February Jade started rolling to her right, from her back to stomach only, needing to be rescued every 15 minutes.   There were many more smiles and giggles to be had for all.

January Baby

Here are some photos from way back in January.  Seems like so long ago, I am sure Jade has grown a fair bit since then.  At her four month check up, Jade was 6.17kg and 63cm long.  She’ll be turning 6 months this coming week, so I’ll try and get her weighed and measured again.

Hanging out with Daddy.

Jade went through a period of laughing at whistling, even my pathetic whistling.  Unfortunately her tastes have evolved, and she requires high quality whistling now.
