What next!!

Kirsty started with yet another cold yesterday.... today she has diarreah and is off her food  

What next?! I'm fed up of these bugs!!!!!!

"Proper" snow!

Yup, we woke up to lots of snow this morning! I opened the curtains to let Kirsty see out... I said "look at all the pretty snow", she replied "messy everywhere!!"

I'm still waiting for her snowboots to arrive so we didn't get to go out walking in it... I'm sure we;ll get plenty of opportunities to play in snow this winter 

So proud of my baby girl

She has been a wee star. Mum & Dad came down last night and so we went into town today. We got in about 11:30am (she usually eats at noon and straight to nap). We wandered a while, had lunch at 12:30, she ate brilliantly in the cafe, then we headed back to the car to come home for her to go to bed... I wasn't even down a level in the car in the carpark and she had zonked!! Managed to lift her into the buggy when we got home & she napped for 2hrs (wanted her to nap longer so we could go out to dinner tonight)

SHe normally has dinner at 5pm, bed at 7pm. We booked our table for 5:30, dinner came (finally!!) about 6:15, she sat for 2.5hrs in the highchair, doing stickers with mum  inbetween eating dinner. She as SOOOO good. I'm so so proud of her!! We left the restaurant at 7:30pm and she hadn't as much as grouched, let alone cried. When we got in the car, she asked for dummy (deffo becoming an "i'm tired mummy" cue). and I told her dummy was waiting at home. I brought her into the house and she said "dummy, nankie, seepy-time", I asked did she want to go to bed, expecting a NO, but she said yes. Got jammies on, bottle, and she zonked immediately!!!

What a wee gem I've had such a lovely day with my hubby, my angel and my folks

Snow!

This morning we had our very first flutter of snow.. however we missed it haha! When we got up the cars, house roofs, etc have the tiniest sprinkling of snow! I can't wait to see how Kirsty reacts to the snow this year - last year she was scared of it  

I just asked Kirsty....

....What would she like Santa to bring her? She replied "toys", I asked what toys would you like? She replied "a digger" She's completely obsessed with diggers!!!

Better sleep!

Last night Kirsty went off to bed at her usual time, she'd had cough medicine, calpol and her inhaler, plus Vicks on her chest/feet (yes, we were desperate to help ease her cough so she could get a long sleep!), she fell asleep without a fuss. And slept so soundly! I heard her cough a couple of times around 2am, and just as I was about to get up to check on her, she stopped.... and slept soundly til daddy went in at 6:30am

I'm so pleased for her that she got decent rest (and for us!!). Everyone is much brighter this morning!! Let's hope her cough is finally clearing up.

It's been a while!

I know, I have gotten so lazy with my blogging and I really should make myself log in for 5 minutes and post! I've merged my photo blog into this one as it's too much updating 2 blogs (who am I kidding... I haven't updated either blog for months!).

So yes, to make life more simple I have merged into this one. So where are we at?

* Kirsty is 21 months, talking in full conversation,
* she is a size 4.5G shoe, size 18-24m tops, dresses, vests & jammies, and 12-18m trousers
* she was weighed last week and is 28lb 6oz
* she has all her baby teeth except for the last 4 molars (don't they come in at age 2yrs?? Oh goodie, more teething!!)
* running & jumping (she loves being a "jumping bean"),
* she can walk up the stairs (I keep meaning to teach her to come down again but I always end up scooping her up and carrying her down!)
* she LOVES Mr Tumble, (literally!!! I ask her often if she loves mummy, she says "no, I luff Mr Tumble")
* she likes to watch an episode of In The Night Garden before bed,
* she still has her bottle before bed plus her dummy/nankie for sleeping,
* she eats all on her own with cutlery,
* she eats the same foods as us, the only meal she refuses is macaroni
* she loves all fruits but blueberries and grapes are her favourites
* she LOVES raisins
* she says muffwoom for mushroom, helicocop for helicopter,
* she loves to have crayons/paper to draw pictures, often she "draws" an aeroplane :)
* she can count to 10
* she knows some shapes: circle, triangle, square, diamond
* she knows lots of colours: red, blue, green, yellow, orange, black, pink, purple, white, brown
* she adores books and jigsaws
* she ADORES visiting Gran & Grandpa (McIntyre) and playing outside with Grandpa, especially "driving his car"
* she ADORES visiting Granny & Granda (Fleming) and playing in their conservatory or going outside to weed the garden with Granda
* I'm positive she was a dog in her former life, as she adores toes/feet or "toesies" as she calles them, she loves to take our shoes off and lay across our toes, kissing & cuddling them
* she likes going out for walks and if she is on foot rather than in the buggy, she is VERY good at holding handies to keep us both safe
* she is quite scared of things which make a loud noise: I cannot hoover whilst she is in the house, nor can I use the electric whisk/blender
* she did not like the fireworks on Bonfire Night (thankfully we didn't go to any displays!!), the neighbours here had fireworks in their garden so I took her to the back door to watch, after the first firework went off, she cuddled right into me and said "I go inside now mummy"

Last but certainly not least, she loves making her "cheeky face"
