More milestones this week – sitting alone for a minute or so, reaching out for things that are in front and to the side of her, rolling over from tummy to back and drinking some water from a sippy cup. If only she would sleep better! Five months old today and I certainly remember Jess was sleeping through the night by this stage. We are nowhere close with Amy. I’m still up several times a night and it is all wearing a bit thin. Perseverance is my new middle name 🙂

Holly is home sick today with a heavy cold, drippy nose and sore eyes. Glen 20 has become my new best friend. I really don’t want to get it or for the others to get it either. She missed the swimming Carnival today, but got to have a rest and a play with Nanna who minded them all while I went to Preschool to help out. I really enjoyed seeing Meg in her new environment and how she interacted with the other kids. The teacher said she is doing really well and is always happy and sociable.

It’s Justin’s birthday on Sunday and I’m taking him out to dinner on Saturday night. He’s 35! I first met him at school in yr 11 in 1989, but he fancied my friend and we didn’t really meet properly until we spied each other across the room of a seedly nightclub in second year of uni. That was it for me. I knew he was the one and we dated for 5 years before getting married in 1997. It is our 10 yr anniversary in October and I am keen to take a week together in the Barrossa Valley to drink some great wine and see a few new places. Never been to SA before. Any takers for minding the kids for a week??

Have a great weekend.
