Where do I start!

This month marks the milestone of teeth! Mila got her first tooth on the 15 December, with the 2nd tooth following today (3 January). After many attempts of trying to take a picture of the new teeth, I am still yet to capture them.

This past month also marks a few other milestones. With the addition of "da" to our vocabulary, this bring the words so far to - Mum, Bub, Bubba/Baba and Da.

We also had our first visit from Santa, who was very generous! With lots of new books to read and a couple of toys who would have thought wrapping would have been the "toy" of choice!

With our first holiday to Mollymook too, we have been quite busy! Mila enjoyed the beach and played in the sand and of course posed for LOTS of pics!

The last couple of days have also seen the development of dancing. Just the cutest to watch!

Such an amazing journey over the past 8 months, its unbelievable how fast it has gone and even more amazing to watch this little person develop and emerge before our very eyes!

Mila's Christening

2008-11-12T20:16:00.009+11:00

What a loverly day it turned out to be. A big thank you to everyone that came! It was a wonderful day.

6 months!

2008-11-12T19:49:00.004+11:00

Well 6 months has come and gone.

Height: 64cm

Weight: 8.1kgs

Mila is learning something new everyday, its amazing to watch. Every day she surprises you with another ability. She is now reaching for toys and grabbing for everything that you hold/read/eat/drink. She is still enjoying her swimming and has started swimming lessons which she absolutely loves.

Still no teeth yet, but I am sure they are not too far away!

Up and coming model ;)

5 months!!! already !?!

2008-10-09T13:09:00.005+11:00

5 months already !?! Time is going waaaay to fast!

Well our little angel is turning into a little person right before our eyes. Gearing up for solids, Mila's is grabbing at our food and drinks so that she can experience the sensation for herself. She has grabbed mum's banana smoothie, and had a swig out of a mug, tried avocado and even tasted mashed potato and sweet potato. She though it was all great...

Mila has also expanded on her vocabulary, mum being her first word, we have also heard dada although Dad says he hasn't heard her yet ;)

She is growing sooo fast, loves her bath, loves swimming at the pool, loves having a chat and loves kicking without her nappy! and still cheeky as ever!

The pool and other things

2008-09-26T21:45:00.004+10:00

We went to the pool!!!

2008-09-19T13:41:00.001+10:00

Well as you can tell, we went to the pool today. I was so excited!!

Mila loved it... She was kicking and floating, talking and having a great time. She even went underwater twice!! no cries from beginning to end. I think we may have a water baby on our hands!

She also likes to keep us awake at night usually around 3 or 4am. This video was taken at 11pm... little bugger :)

Well thats all for now...

More pics :)

2008-09-12T15:05:00.004+10:00

4 months!!!

2008-09-03T20:01:00.006+10:00

4 months already? Well hasn't time gone so fast, so fast that we only made 1 post in August, I promise we will be more diligent this month :)

First of all let's start off by saying:

Puno pozdrava Baba i Deda, Familija i Priatelji!!
and a big hello to Granny and Grandad, family and friends in Australia!!

Current update:
weight: 6.630kg
height: 60.5cm

Mila is growing so fast before our very eyes, she is a little person with her own personality, which is (of course)cheeky/happy majority of the time. Mila can also hold her bottle by herself.

She has a new friend, which is her singing teddy bear that sits above her and sings her a lullaby at nap time. Mila likes to sing back to her teddy and have long conversations with it aswell.

Today also marks the purchase of Mila's Bebepod. After much discussion between Mum & Dad the decision was made to go ahead with the purchase. Mila thinks it's great, she can now sit up on her own without Mum or Dad's help. And it even has a toy to play with.

Mila has settled into her own routine quite nicely, going to bed by 7pm and getting up at 7:30 the following morning. We still have a top up at 9:30, but this will take Mila all the way to 5am before she wakes for another feed before going back to sleep. Here's hoping Mila will soon sleep to 7am without the 5am feed. :)
Well thats all for now, enjoy the pics xx

must be dreaming of breakfast!!

3 months...

2008-08-06T12:59:00.003+10:00

12 weeks... nearly 3 months ;)

2008-07-31T13:56:00.006+10:00

Well we are nearly at the 3 month mark. Boy how time flies!

Current update:

Weight: 6.1kg (clothes on)

Height: 60 cms

Hair colour: getting lighter, honey brown may be able to descibe the colour at the moment.

Eye colour: Still blue

Personality: Have I mentioned that Mila is cheeky? ;p

So we are still waiting in anticipation for the first unassisted roll, I think tummy time is too much fun to want to roll over just yet. I do not think it is far away though!

We have been suprised over the last 2 days with Mila deciding that she can now have conversations with us. The conversations are lasting alot longer and are now far more interesting!

We still give our big cheeky smile at every chance not to mention the tongue poking out at every opportunity.

Its also nearly time to move to her big bed exclusively as her bassinette is starting to get a bit small... hopefully by the 4 month mark Mila will be sleeping in her own room.

Till next time xx

11 week update

2008-07-23T11:55:00.003+10:00

Hi All,

A few more pics of Mila.

She is growing bigger each week, I don't know where the time is going. She is now 5.7 kilos!! and 58 cms long. Thats 2.4 kilos heavier and 9cms longer!!

Her personality is also starting to appear, cheeky?? I don't know where she would get it from. Gladly displaying her big smile and usually a tongue appears on a regular basis.

She will happily play on her gym and we are waiting in anticipation for her first roll, she can't quite get the momentum to roll right over, the most she gets to is up on her side.

She loves going to her Mum's group every Tuesday and has just discovered that she is not the only baby there and tries to talk to the others.

Until next time...

Some more pics

2008-07-10T14:08:00.006+10:00

Hi all, some more pics from the archives :)
I love the big bath...

I really could get used to this!!

Who me??
I really do like my pretty dress. Really I do!

We also had our first lot of needles on Tuesday... All went as well as can be expected... :(

8 weeks/ 2months... already!!!

2008-07-01T13:54:00.005+10:00

Well as you can see Mila is now 8 weeks old or 2 months on Thursday.

My little angel is not so little anymore and it is all going alot quicker than Mum and Dad would like. We can't complain, she now smiles alot more and likes to have little chats with us aswell.

The last 2 weeks have seen Mila discovering her legs...alot of kicks are now taking place especially without a nappy, although this isn't a necessity :) Arms are getting alot more coordinated with the attempt to reach out and touch thing and a stong grip if she manages to get hold of what she is after.

Mila is quite a happy little baby, that will 9 times out of 10 give you her cheeky smile and if you are lucky she might even attempt a hello!

Unfortunately, this time also brings along the time for needles, which we are booked in for Tuesday 8th ...I don't know who will be more upset, Mum or Mila.

Today also marked the day that we started our mums and bubs group, with a big group of 12 Mums and bubs. Mila was behaved perfectly, sleeping from the time it started till we got home :)

Oh and I nearly forgot, Mila slept in her big bed for the first time yesterday too...

Well that is all for now... keep you posted :)

6-8 week check

2008-06-20T14:38:00.002+10:00

Mila went for her 6 - 8 week check up yesterday... update as follows

weight: 4.700 kgs

height: 54cms

everything else is great :)

6 week update

2008-06-17T15:37:00.004+10:00

6 weeks already!! how time flies...

My little Mila is growing, due for her 6 week check up on Thursday. I am very excited to see her actual weights and measurements as she has grown alot and hasn't had weight/height check since she was 2 weeks old.

She is progressing well and absolutely loves lying on her gym and having a kick. This is also the time she tends to talk and tell us how much she loves it too. However, I must add that she also takes a nappy change as an opportunity to also have a kick and a nice chat, I think this is her way of delaying a new nappy so that she can kick for that little bit longer. :)

She has settled in well, now knowing the difference between night and day and has started to settle into a daytime nap routine.

This past week has also been another time for firsts with Mila having her first shower, which she loved and her first visit to church.

Next first will be the big bath or should I say the swimming pool in the bathroom... will keep you posted.

Mila, 1 month

2008-06-04T09:50:00.003+10:00

How time flies, Mila is 1 month old already!

And last but not least,

Update - Day 24

2008-05-26T14:37:00.004+10:00

Our little angel.

Mila is progressing well, she is starting to realise that she has hands and is starting to grasp hold of things. Be it for only a moment.

Still loving her food, which she is also putting on weight as you can probably notice in her photos. Her hair is also growing, I may be able to put a bow in her hair before too long!

She has settled in well, albeit stil getting days and nights mixed up on some days but we are working on that! We are working on day playtime which Mila loves, she manages to stay awake for a good 2 hours before having her next nap. She loves to kick and stretch and can't wait to get in the bath and have a kick and float in the water. I think the massage afterwards has also something to do with it all or maybe is just all the attention from Dad. I think that all 3 are quite appealing for Daddy's little princess. :)

Well the angel has woken... til next update

update - Day 5

2008-05-08T14:18:00.002+10:00

Well we have settled in at home quite nicely, just trying to get used to the early morning wake up calls!

Mila is just perfect.. my little angel :) and Daddies little princess...

Everything is going well, Mila absolutely LOVES her food, I think she gets this from her dad :) When being discharged from the hospital she was maintaining her weight, managed to depart the hospital the same weight that she arrived.

Everyone that has visited Mila has added to her little pile of goodies. A BIG THANKYOU!! I was overwhelmed with the amount of love that surrounds Mila from family and friends.

I will finish with some photos...

My little angel...

Cheeky already!
