Nana came down to Rotorua with Lilli and I for our last visit until the baby comes. We had a good time and Lilli just loved hanging out with her cousins and doing the farm work with Annie or Toot and Jack. I managed to catch up with a couple of mates but didn't manage to catch up with everyone. Nevermind I will come down when the baby is a few weeks old and hopefully catch up with everyone then.
Here are Lilli and Jack outside. He's so good with her, and spends heaps of time playing and running around with her.
Off to do the cows with Aunty Annie.
Here are Nana and Lilli roleplaying. They are being puppies. :D Haha. Nana will be so impressed that I've put these up on my blog.
Nana had to take turns being led around and then had to lead Lilli around.
Back at home we set up the keyboard on Max's computer for Lilli to play on. She doesn't know it but she is getting a keyboard for Christmas! :)
Well I'm still trying to catch up the blog and will try and do some more tomorrow night. With baby it's a bit tricky at the moment to get on the computer. Plus our little mate is not going to bed so good at the moment so that takes up a lot of the night as well. I will get there though. I need to put Caden onto the blog as well. It will happen soon. :)
Lilli came up to me on Wednesday 20 July and said to me that her baby is moving in her tummy and then she pulls up her top and wriggles her tummy around and breaths in and out to make her tummy move. It's her new thing and she's quite happy to show everyone. She's just so adorable. Haha. :D
Also her playacting has her being Lenny the Lamb and she asks me or whoever else is around to feed her like Lenny the Lamb. Hehe. Here I am giving her her bottle just like Lenny...
Lilli and Case having milkshakes together. Lilli has just loved having her here for the holidays. She will be sad when she goes home.
On the 21st Casey made up her pavlova and decorated it herself. Check it out...
Of course Lilli helped a bit. :)
The masterpiece.
Then Lilli took off with my camera and took a couple of photos...
On Sunday 24 July Nana and Pops piled into our car with us and we all went over to Daryl and Pavla's place to see their new arrival baby Joe. He was born on 9 July 2011. What a cutie he is! And here he is with Mum and Lilli. I have to say that I was very proud of her because she was so gentle and sweet with baby Joe. It makes me feel that she is going to be a real sweetheart with her own new baby when he or she arrives. My little girl, so sweet. She will make a wonderful big sister. After the initial getting used to baby that is. Haha. :)
Lilli's top right molar came through. Only one to go! Mind you they seem to take a couple of weeks or more to actually break completely through the gum.
So the girls arrived today and Lilli was totally thrilled to see them. Uncle Ces stayed for a quick chat and a beer and then he headed off to say a quick hello to Nana and Pops before heading back to Rotorua. When Lilli was playing up about having to put her pajamas on Kayla offered to try for me and wouldn't you know Lilli just stood there and let her dress her. :)

Nana and Pops came around for fish and chips tonight and to pick up Kayla of course. The girls were enjoying playing outside and then...
Gees men do some stupid things don't they? What do you think Lilli will want to do all the time from now on???!!
One thing that was funny though was when Lilli decided to do poos out on the grass 'like the cows do'. Hahaha. :D She's such a giggle isn't she.
All my girls worn out after running around outside and jumping on the tramp, etc.
Hmmm, no I wasn't expecting to find a camera pointed at me! But hey, there's the big belly so I put this photo in. :}
18 July 2011
Lilli's top left molar made an appearance today! Yay last one. But as I said they take ages to come through. The other one doesn't even look like it's come through any more in the last couple of days.
19 July 2011
Casey, Lilli and I loaded up the stroller and headed down to town to do a couple of jobs. Then we headed to our favourite cafe for a hot chocolate and a scone. Yum. Lilli was very well behaved and stayed at the table most of the time. Then when she started getting restless we headed to the park to play for a while. She loved having Case there to play with and go on the slides with. But she also seemed to get a lot of enjoyment from yelling shoo to the seagulls that were on the roof of the library building as well!
After playing for quite a while we headed back up the hill to home and by the time we got there my little mate was out to it so I popped her into bed and Case and I had a relax on the couch while she slept. I think Case was relieved to have a little break and some tv time where she got to watch what she wanted. :)
On Tuesday 05 July Lilli came up to me with the camera and lifted up my top saying 'I take a photo of the baby. Say cheese baby.'. Hahaha. Sooo cute. Later that day she said 'Nana's gonna growl.' too. Hehe.
Here she is in her poncho that Doris got her.
And eyeing herself up in the mirror in her poncho... :)
On 07 July my little mate comes out with 'Go way Mum. Go and boil the jug for me.'! Ha! Cheeky aye! But very funny. So I went off and made her a cup of 'tea' (milo - but she likes to call it a cup of tea).

Oh, two little sleeping beauties.
On 11 July we were at playcentre playing shop. Check out these cute videos...
In this one I am the customer.
And in this one Lilli is the customer.
On 12 July Lilli sat down on her potty and she said to me 'Poo came out and the baby came out.'. Haha oh how close to the truth she is!! I have no idea where that came from as obviously I haven't had the how babies come out of Mummy's tummy talk. She is always saying that she has a baby in her tummy too and mybe she has just decided that other stuff that is in her tummy comes out when she poos so the baby must do too?

My cheeky monkey hiding in the curtains.
Having a relax on the bean bag.
And a giggle...
My day turned a bit to crap after these gorgeous photos. So Lilli went off to Mum's again. I was feeling light headed and really sick so had to have some tests done and another scan to make sure everything is ok. They are doing more glucose tolerance tests to make sure that I haven't developed Gestational Diabetes.
14 July 2011
Hiding with Daddy.
Couldn't resist a peek though. :)
Tomorrow Uncle Ces is bringing the girls up to stay for the school holidays. We will have both of them for one night and then Kayla is going to stay at Nana's and Casey will stay with us. Lilli will be so stoked to have them here.
As for the pregnancy - my tests all came back ok and this morning I woke up feeling normal again! Yay. Everyone has decided that I must've had a virus for a couple of weeks. Let's hope it doesn't come back!!
Hi guys. Yes I am behind again with the blog but I'm trying to catch up. Unfortunately lately I've been doing training for Playcentre on top of being tired so my catch up blog time is very minimal. I am doing courses at night and did one Saturday as well so am buggered for a couple of days after each one. I'm trying to get my C2 done before baby comes which may be a bit ambitious. But hey I'll give it a go. So I hope to have the blog caught up in the next few days.
I was planning on doing a separate blog for new baby but have realised that it's just going to be too much for me so I will be altering this blog to include both kids. Plus I will include stuff we get up to as a family as I do now. Look out for the new format in the near future.
NOTE: Once again all my blog posts are backdated. Including this one so I don't throw the order out. :)
