In June Penny started crawling, which made life a bit more interesting.
It was also in June that we went on an adventure with mother’s group to the Maritime Museum in Darling Harbour.
We also decided it was time to move Penny’s cot base lower because she started pulling herself upright.

Penny discovered my laptop. So I installed a Penny-proof program (Alpha-baby) to make sure she didn’t delete everything.

Sierra encouraged Penny to learn to crawl and stand up, Penny reciprocated by teaching Sierra how to button mash my laptop.

And decided that tipping her lunch every where was a good idea

In June we took Penny on her first ferry ride.

followed by some multitasking by Lindsay at Max Brenner, he ate chocolate, did on-call work and put a baby to sleep.

Penny took up sitting in her toy boxes/buckets/baskets

We went with Sierra and her mummy to a play-school concert. I think I had more fun than Penny, she was more interested in eating Sierra’s toys.

In June I bought Penny a standing toy thingy, it plays old macdonald. Its really annoying!

Penny started a new phase of chewing on cables

And Penny had her first swimming lesson! Lindsay took her in the pool for the class, along with Lilly (from my mother’s group) and her Dad Kevin.

The first lesson was a success…the rest were not so successful.
In June Penny was still not sleeping at night, and after some very stressful nights with no sleep I decided that sawing Penny’s cot into pieces was a great idea. I then tied it to my bed using stockings. (white stockings can be seen in the top left hand corner)

We joined in on a mother’s group photo shoot in June. The only way that we could stop Penny from stuffing leaves in her mouth was Olivia, Lilly’s mum, to sing wiggles songs!

Now don’t cry, there are more blog posts to come…or maybe thats a good reason to cry…
