Mama ma...

I'm pretty sure that the last couple of days, especially in the morning, that Felicity has said, "Mama mama ma" and similar. It's lovely to hear, and when I repeat it back, she smiles her gorgeous smile. She really is the source of happiness! Our little Felicity.

Felicity is such a happy baby. She loves to laugh, especially at people jumping.. and most of all Cara jumping. It cheers her up almost every time. I love this photo of my beautiful baby girl.

Rolling Over

Felicity has a new skill.. but she is keeping it a secret for now. Her first roll was made while Mummy, Daddy and Cara were eating dinner. Felicity was playing on the play mat, rolled over, made lots of noise - then we all looked over and she was on her tummy. Well done Flissy!

Felicity blowing bubbles.. it's a funny face! I wish we'd caught her sucking her lips in funny face, but we haven't yet - that's a great one. Watch this space.

Felicity is just so wonderful. She loves to hold and play with things. It's just great to see her growing and developing.

What beautiful eyes. My little Flissy. She doesn't really like being on her front that much yet.. however she is really trying to turn herself over when I put her down in the bathroom to change her nappy. She is such a cutie.

Felicity's turn for a photo with her Dad, Grampi and Bampa. We have a very similar photo when Cara was a baby. I like our little baby girls surrounded by 3 generations of men. They are all so smiley too.

This is the one of Cara.

Felicity is born

Just thought I'd post a link to Mummy's write up of the moment Felicity entered the real world.

We let Felicity have a lie in, seeing as though she's a bit young to understand the whole Christmas concept.

Felicity Doesn't Like Baths... Yet!

Well.. to be fair some of the time she looked liked she could have been enjoying it. It was rather hectic trying to keep two little girls under control in the bath.  I'm sure bathtime will continue to be lots of fun.

Felicity does look a lot like her sister Cara, but this is a very Felicity face - at least, I think so.

One of the first of many photos of Felicity. This was taken in the delivery room not long after birth.  Born at 11:46 on Monday, 15th December 2008 (also my Uncle Alan's birthday), and just minutes before my Estimated Due Date, weighing 6lb 6oz, and 48cm long.  

Welcome to the world our little girl, we all love you so much!

Looking forward to New Baby

Hello 'new baby': we've been calling you 'new baby' so far, but sometimes 'Felicity', as we think you'll be lovely little girl. We don't mind, though, if you're a little boy, either. In that case you'll be George, and either way you'll be a great little friend for your big sister, Cara. I think she's aware that you're almost ready to be with us. She puts things in your Moses basket and then takes them out again, telling us that these are 'baby's dummies'.

It's almost Christmas, and we can't really believe that you're going to be here with us even before we get that far. It's going to be just wonderful to be the four of us: our little family for our first Christmas all together!

Keep growing, and come to us safely - we're going to have lots of fun together very soon!

      love, Daddy.

Hello Baby!

Hello Baby!, originally uploaded by Munzerr.

You are in there.. and hopefully coming out really soon. We love you so much already, our little one.

When will you come?

OK.. so it's Wednesday 10th December today, you are due Tuesday 16th, so less than a week away, but when will you actually come? Before, after, exactly on your due date? Who knows?

Well.. I think we are finally completely ready for you. Mummy has packed a bag of things to take to the hospital, some cute little tiny clothes for you to wear and keep you warm and cosy. I can't believe how small you will be. Your big sister Cara is just so big now compared to a little baby. Mummy's been trying to explain to Cara about you coming to be part of our family, so we're all getting extra excited - and we hope you'll be here to celebrate Christmas with us.

Last week at Mummy's appointment to check that you are doing well, the midwife said that you had turned round into a breech position, this would not be good for Mummy, and might mean that you would have to be born by C-section. Mummy really would like for you to be born naturally, so when we went this week, Mummy was really happy that you had turned back round to be head down - well done! Now you just need to stay there, OK.

Cara was born by C-section, and if that turns out to be the way you are born, then it'll be for the best, as long as we have you out in the world with us all will be great. Your big sister is so special, I think you are going to be the best of friends.

See you soon, little one.

New Baby

Hello New Baby!

That's what we're calling you at the moment.  We think you are going to be a girl, but we can't be certain.  If you are, we think we might call you Felicity, don't don't be upset if we don't, whatever name we give you will be lovely, at least your Mummy and Daddy will think so.

You've been in Mummy's tummy for quite a while now.  Just around 10 weeks left until you are due to come outside and see us all.  I think your big sister Cara will be really excited to see you and have you be with us.  She does sometimes say 'hello' to you and give Mummy's bump a cuddle.  We love you already, but Mummy does sometimes think you're a little too wriggley.  You move around in her tummy a lot more than Cara did, and poke your hands and feet out lots so that Daddy gets to feel you too.  We love you little baby.

See you soon.
