...as a cat

I took Jordan to the Appleby gala type thing held at the playcentre there. I got her face painted - similair to another little girl as a cat - she didn't sit very still and I think because her face is much smaller than the girl's it didn't work out as well but was cute and it only cost $1. At first she wasn't interested in the playdough but then she really was - put some on a plate and was carrying it around - we got there for 9am and she wasn't wanting to go at 11.11 but prior to going I had put the casserole on minus the carrots thinking we'd be back in half an hour.I bought her 3 lots of playdough at 50c - very pretty colours - here are some pics of her as a cat

Quirky

Jordan is so funny sometimes. I have got that potty back out for some more potty training - she goes and sits on it, stands in it and generally uses it as a seat (with her nappies on!). At the Richmond mall the other day she wanted to wander around everywhere and ended up pushing the toy prams around that were outside toyworld - they had 2 bungied together - she was having great fun. She was very energetic at church yesterday too. She loves walking u the aisle - looking along the pews at people and laughing joyfully. At the library today she did her usual trick of pulling out some books and dumping them on the ground. One she did open and held it while standing up and read aloud from it. She is doing good at her sleeps most days - she will sleep in our bed - best to get her in around 12ish - today she has been asleep an hour and a half since 1230 - after a botle fell straight asleep - other days she has the bottle and then wants to play. Like the other day - so I walked her and she fell asleep in about 5 minutes - then work called me in an hour before I was due to start - only because it was Saturday did I say yes. She's such a treasure!

our trip to Christchurch

We had an unsettled drive down to Christchurch with her screaming and crying before we even got to Murchison and was unsettled staying at her other grandparents in Christchurch - think it is just that she is unfamilair with the surroundings even though she seemed okay during the day - she loved pepper the dog. Had 2 unsetled nights and then returned home via Rangiora to get photos taken by Amanda Haynes - she looked so small and cute at Victoria Park in her little dress. We couldn't find anything I liked more than what we had so she wore that. She also wore a cute pink petitt skirt thing that was adorable. Her limit was about an hour though and then she was getting a bit past it - she was really posy with Hape and I when we were over near the toilets to get the green wall background. The travel back was better for her but the rest of us were feeling jaded and carsick. Just hope work don't ring in the morning to call me in to work.

14 April 2008

Went and had our first ultrasound for our new baby on the way. It was cute to see - kicking its legs up and scratching its head at one stage. She said that we were low risk - Jordan and mum came with us - Jordan got a bit tired of the proceedure as the lady was taking a while to get the back neck measurement and kept pressing in trying to get the baby move into a better position so that she could get the neck measurement with the nose in the same shot.
The EDD they gave was 20 October so she said to go with the date of the 17th which the midwife had worked out. It was special to see - we got a couple of little pictures too.

More pics of little beautiful

Here are some more shots i wanted to upload - I call her little beautiful a lot

Baby on the move

As mentioned before we are expecting another baby - we found out February 28th at an appointment with Sue Boswell with a urine test. Very happy - it is difficult to imagine not just having Jordan to think of. Here are some other cute photos of her taken of her playing outside - loves being outside - and pressed up against the sliding doors

Love living my life with you

Unfortunately I haven't been able to get into my blog and just now can. Yipeeeee!!! I am very happy about that as a lot of time has past - too much time. Jordan is walking now - almost running at times - she has been doing so for about 3 weeks but started off staggering a bit and falling down a lot - she loves different environments to walk on - loves walking on the footpath outside mum and dads place. Jordan turned 1 11 March - what a milestone - she is also going to have a little brother or sister towards the end of October - if she understood I know that she would be very excited. When she started standing she would stand in the middle of the room as if to say ta da!!!
I have found a scrapbooker whose style I love - Louise Williams and she even did a page of a photo of Jordan for me which I was very excited about - I am hoping that my scrapbooking will take a turn and I will get some done and love the results. Pictures of Jordan on her birthday except for the ones in the purple dress where she is in the yard with toy from toy library which she particularly loved. She was so zonked on her birthday after monring tea with Auntie Joan, Uncle Ian, Delma, Mum and dad and Jay popped in then went to space - she fell asleep in the car 2x on the way home, woke up and went back to sleep.
