Sunday 27 August 2006

Pictures were taken during the week. Lauren reading her book (wearing outfit provided by my aunt Kris & Uncle Dave; being cool with her Buzzy Bee; looking summery and hopefully celebrating the end of winter (wearing a cardigan given to her by her godmother Lou and her partner Paul) and the last one is her loving Kitty (who didn't need to wash herself after Lauren had dribbled all over her!).

Lauren has finally started recovering from her cold and she is definitely getting back to her normal smiley, chatty self. Once more we have giggles and smiles - which is so nice. She also has her second tooth - bottom left. She's very good and smiles and shows it off to whoever wants to see!

Lauren turned 9 months during the week and she went for her Plunket check - unfortunately she had actually lost weight over the last month - only 30g, so nothing too serious. The nurse wasn't particuarly bothered, due to Lauren having had the cold, but we've got to get her weighed again in two weeks just to make sure that she's all OK. Since then Lauren has become a real Kiwi Kid and has started eating Weetbix for breakfast - it started off as half a biscuit, but has now progressed to a whole one! We're also starting her on finger food - the cheese slice ended up on the floor, to the delight of Kitty, but she's starting to get the hang of it.
