Week 28

28 weeks already. Boy isn't time going slowly. i think somebody slows the clock down when your pregnant. Off to the Obstetrician on Monday for a check up in Nambour. It seems the world revolves around Nambour. They have the best farmers markets there and all the good Dr's are there too. even the hospital is there.

anyway, we've been laying low for a while. I've had the cold that has been "going around" apparently. Not so nice when you can't take much for it. At least Kirrily was there to keep me amused.



Vegemite!!!! / The hose - again



This is Kirrily's new 'big room'. She is now sleeping in the big bed and loving it. She asks to sleep there at night but at the moment we are still putting her in the cot just so she gets used to the bed, gradually. I built this bookshelf for her new room and she loves looking at her toys and books in there. Wow!!! was her response. maybe next week she might be in the big room for good. She just looks so tiny in the big bed. She doesn't get out at all which is good, she just sits waiting patiently for me to come in and get her after her day time sleep.

No more news to report, hopefuly next week will be more exciting. :-)

Weather - Ahhh Queensland!!!

Well we all complained loudly up here this week and last when the temperature dropped to 3 deg overnight, and reached a small 15 in the day but who can complain when today

IT'S 27 DEG!!!!

Well the 2 weeks of winter are over for the sunshine state. Back to warm sunny weather for us. Back to the singlet shirts and shorts. (well i don't have a great range of clothes being pregnant so it's singlet shirts for me anyway).

One would think i was getting a bit soft living in Queensland. The newspapers all had front page stories on the 'freezing' weather, 'frost' on the Downs, stories about scarfs, beanies and hot food. The even had their news people doing the news from Stanthorpe where it got to a "knee knocking, toe tingling" (we've heard it all this week) -2 deg overnight. What is the world coming to. :-)

Pelican Spotting

Apart from frogs, Kirrily also loves Pelican's. We have been pretty lucky lately as the baby pelicans have come from, whereever a baby pelican comes from, to Pumistone Passage. In particular, the jetty near the ferry. We went walking last week to try out Kirrily's new shoes which we bought from Rivers and headed off to find some pelican's. We found some. 27 of them actually. Some in the water gobbling fish, some drying their feathers and other's just waiting for the easy way to catch dinner when the fishermen come in and wash their fish.

Kirrily got rather close then the pelican made a typical pelican noise (bit hard to discribe in words other than - AAAAAAAAAARKKKK) so she scampered back to me yelling "hand, hand, hand" as she wasn't sure of that noise. Of course, i had my camera and couldn't resist taking photo's. i wasn't quick enough to get Kirrily standing near them.



We then headed back towards the car but had to stop and just watch the world go by. Kirrily demolished a muslie bar and then i got this photo, which i thought was rather cute.



We've also finished her new bed. We had put the railings on her bed to stop her falling out and started taking her toys across to her new room. We will have a trial sleep tomorrow afternoon. I know she loves her cot. i'm just hoping she loves her new bed just as much. I'll keep you posted how that goes.

The Wiggles - Colouring Book

Kirrily has been rather busy lately. She has 6 new coloured pencils (we have 5 left, the 6th one is put somewhere 'safe') and she loves the Wiggles so what better present than a Colouring in book from who else but The Wiggles. Aunty Megan kindly gave this to Kirrily for her birthday.

Here is some of her handywork:

You might notice it says "Big Red Car", not in her eyes. it's a multicoloured, rainbow style of car. Her next favourite page is the back, inside cover which is blank and she scribbles like crazy.

If she isn't watching Poko, she is colouring in. A new Picasso in the making I'd say.
