We spent most of November getting to know Blackheath and settling into our new home.
We went for walks in the rain
And for walks at sunset
Read stories
Discovered that Penny likes the tops of hot chocolates
Penny helped with some ikea flat pack construction
And helped out when Lindsay had to work in the evenings
We invested in a kitchen [...]
In October 2011…
Penny pulled this face, the best face ever to be pulled
She decided that she would no longer sit politely in the seat on the shopping trolley but would rather stand like a mast head at the front.
She helped Jacob defeat the aliens
And went swimming with Olivia
She had a brilliant time at fagan park [...]
I will one day catch up, maybe before baby #2 arrives. Hopefully.
In September we went on a Holmwood family picnic where Penny discovered taps
We hung out at the park with friends
And took Penny on her first adventure across the Harbour Bridge.
Penny did cute things like look at at us when we put a [...]
Here we are in March 2012 and the last time my blog was updated was for June 2011. With another baby on the way, due August 2012….we might need to cut to the chase.

We spent a week relaxing at the beach and relaxing in our resort

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 [...]

But all this mess meant Penny needed a lovely hot bath every evening.
After a couple of stories, it is bedtime.
Every night we would put Penny [...]
So it turns out, having a baby is so very time consuming. If you were to look at this blog before this point you would think Penny is still 4 months old. In fact, she is now 11 months old - nearly a whole year old!
How about I catch you up a bit…
As Penny [...]
February was a busy month for Penny. She met many developmental miles stones and really ‘woke up’
She is a real Mummy’s girl, and over February she became very attached to me. Which is lovely…but also means I am not allowed to leave her side for very long.
Unless she is with her Daddy. When Daddy is [...]
Penny is now 4 months old and I have written a total of 4 blog posts about her. I blame her. She likes to have my constant attention. And I am very very happy to give her my constant attention! This post is about what she got up to in her 3rd month, January.

A few weeks before Christmas we put up our Christmas ‘tree’. Lying under the Christmas tree staring up at the baubles kept Penny entertained while I wrapped Christmas presents.
It was hard work preparing for Christmas day, she would snooze in the stroller while I did Christmas shopping.
Each year, Santa drives past my parent’s house. [...]
