Tooth number one made it's appearance on the eve of 22 January 2011 at the age of 7 months old. It is the tradition in our family to make pancakes to celebrate the occasion but since I got a fab new waffle machine for Christmas I'm going to make waffles sometime in the next few weeks (we're rather busy at the mo - more details on this later). The only teething sign we noticed was that Jane was playing with her tongue on her lower gum a lot so when we checked there it was.
I had quite a disturbed night last night with Rosebud waking up quite often for comfort and breastfeeding and this morning we noticed tooth number 2 is out. My little Rosebud is getting so big!

Rosebud's first holiday!
We went camping before this but I'll record this as her first proper holiday (cause let's face it, camping is rather uncomfortable when you're a baby... and a Mommy) :-)
We went to Paternoster on the West Coast and stayed in a cottage with Jude, Gro and Frida (Jane's Uncle, Aunt and 4 month old cousin) and Rachel and Andrea (Aunt and Uncle).
She LOVED relaxing on the sunbeds on the porch overlooking the beach...
There were two bathrooms but both only had showers so Rosebud had to 'bath' in the washbasin. I had to bath her twice almost every day because of all the sand. At one stage she even had sand up her nose (on a very windy day).
Rosebud on the beach for the first time...
Picking up her very first shell! I kept it and put it in her memory box :-)
Exploring the sand...
What fun!!!

My little Rosebud
Rosebud is 7 months old...
She's sitting very well now and prevents herself from falling over while in the sitting position. Today I put her in the sitting position on the mat in the lounge and when I looked again she was balancing on all fours :-) Just two or three more months and we'll have to baby proof the house for a crawling baby :-)

Sitting is SO EXCITING!!!
Jane is enjoy sitting so much. She sat in her pram for the first time yesterday and loves it! She used to always lie in her car chair which clips onto the pram.
And of course playing is just so much more fun...

My little Rosebud
Rosebud is 6 months old!
She is having so much fun now that she's starting to sit on her own. She loves the new position of the play gym...
My brave girl reaching out for a toy (and she managed to keep her balance)...
At five and a half months Rosebud was ready to start solids. She's been introduced to rice cereal, butternut, sweet potato, apple and banana and she welcomes all food with enthusiasm :) Today her gums were a bit itchy so when Andy and I were having some fruit for our morning snack I put some in her no-choke-mesh-snack holder and she loved sucking the juice out and feeling the soothing cold fruit on her gums. Whoever invented these mesh food holders is a genius! I used to use one all the time for Andy as well until he could eat a chunk of food without choking. This one is extra nice cause it comes with a lid that covers the mesh bag.
Happy half a year birthday Rosebud! :)

The Homescool Camp 2010 (Rosebud's First Holiday)
Every year our homeschool group has a camp for 3 days and this year Rosebud got to join in the fun for the first time.
It was so incredibly hot! When we arrived there it was 36.5 degrees and the entire three days we were covered in sweat. At one stage I had rosebud lying in her carry cot playing with a cool washcloth while the others were out swimming in the river. But despite the heat we all had a marvelous time!
Rosebud and I standing on the same spot as the next photo when we came camping at the same place in 2007 when Andy was a year and 4 months old...
Enjoying the great excitement of the outdoors while watching Daddy put up the tent...

Sitting
Rosebud is sitting unsupported for longer everyday now. I took this pic about 2 weeks ago when she was sitting for a few seconds at a time but this afternoon she sat for close to a minute :)
