Out and About

Anna has been a busy social butterfly this week, with trips to the city, Chapel Street, Nanna's house and Pa's house regularly; She's been a very busy, in-demand little girl.

Pa has been spending lots of time with Anna this week. We like to visit Pa when he's not working and spend the day 'hanging out' and getting apple pies from McDonalds. Pa is always amazed at how much Anna has grown every time he sees her. We've been having a great time at Pa's.

Pa has also been a very handy sitter too. Anna is 'too cool' to hang out with mum and dad so we left her at Pa's while we went to see a movie. Thanks Pa!

Anna has also been rather fussy this week with sleeping and has been a horror to try and get to sleep. One night this week, Anna didn't let mum have any more than 1 hour continuous sleep so Pa came over to watch Anna while mum slept. Again, thanks Pa!

Anna joined in putting up the Christmas tree at Nanna's this week too! It was a very special day for us as it's Anna's first Christmas. It was sad that Tom, Kort and Ramsey weren't there to join in, so Anna and Aunty Lauren put up a branch for them. We had a great time at Nanna's. Anna and Nanna Lou read a bedtime story in the 'Nanna Chair' - Anna fell asleep.

Anna also visited Nanna Lou at her work too this week, and had a hot chocolate on Chapel Street. She was very trendy in her 'Seed' pink duck outfit the VRL girls bought for her - Anna was certainly the centre of attention at Village HO. And Nanna's desk proved to be a very useful change table a few times over.

While we were in the city, Anna and I also visited my old colleagues from National Foods. It was very odd being back there, and just reconfirmed how at ease I am with being a mum; I know where I prefer to be.

Anna was very well behaved and slept during every car trip.

Later in the week, Aunty Nikki and Joey came over for dinner. Aunty Nikki showed she's a natural with babies and got her to sleep. Nikki also willingly carried her all around the shopping centre while we figured out what to get for dinner. Joey commented a lot on how small Anna's head was.

We have had a very fun week, out and about with those we love. We really love going out together - Anna is great company.

With love,

Mum and Dad.x
