The Bell Family

I took these piccies yesterday and thought they were so cute, I’d just have to post them to the website for all to see!!!

Jason and Laura are having a little nap together in the first shot – whenever she’s a little restless, Jason just picks her up and gives her a little cuddle. He seems to have the magic touch!!! Whether it’s dancing around the house, playing on a rug or just having cuddles, it always seems to do the trick and gives Mum some valuable time out!!!

We’re all doing wonderfully though and surprisingly enough, this ‘Mothering’ thing is coming pretty naturally to me and I’m really enjoying every moment! It’s an awesome experience and I don’t want to miss a thing!!! Jason is certainly the doting Dad and this little girl has him wrapped around her little finger already!!!

In the second piccie, Laura’s getting some ‘tummy time’ just after her bath – isn’t she a cutie!!! She screamed her head off during her first bath, but seems to be pretty impressed with them now!!! Jason can’t wait to start playing with bath toys – we already have some whales and a turtle – don’t know who’s going to get more fun out of those – Jason or Laura!!!

Cheers,

Here’s a piccie of Laura’s Room. It’s a big cot for such a little girl, but we guess she’ll outgrow it soon enough!!!

We’ve got her into a bit of a routine already (well as much as you can with a baby, she’s the boss now and changes the routine at will)! She has been sleeping well at night though – when we go to bed, we put her into her cot and she knows it’s sleep time (as opposed to play time)! Much to my relief, she’s been feeding at 4 hourly intervals (mostly), which means I get a good 3 hours sleep in between feeds – now for a two week old baby, that’s great!!! It takes a while to get a full nights sleep of course, but I’m grateful that she’s been as good as she has!!! As soon as we get up in the morning, we bring her into the loungeroom where she rests/plays all day in the rocker and on her play mat.

Very proud Mum,
Chrissy

Jason and I have been overwhelmed with all the well wishes we have received from everyone – from flowers and baby clothes to photo frames and bunny rugs and even a couple of bottles of wine to kick off the celebrations!!! A big thank you to everyone for all your love and support – you’ve been wonderful and we ALL feel very spoilt!!!

Cheers,
Chrissy
