We're on day three of our new early morning routine & this morning went quite smoothly, so long as Romy's robot was in near sight that is. And vegemite toast, Romy loves vegemite toast!

On my home this evening from a disappointing house viewing. I'm hoping we'll have better luck next week.

While I was in Sydney on Tuesday Romy pulled herself up into a standing position for the first time. While it would have been nice to see her do it for the first time, I am just as happy that she did that for the first time in front of Luke as he usually misses so many of her firsts because he's always at work. And this morning she was just as keen to show me pulling herself up on our bed head. There is no going back now, this little bear will be crawling before we know it!

Today Luke, Romy & I went to our friend's daughter's first birthday party. This was Luke's first time going to something baby related as he usually has to work on weekends, so it was especially nice. It was however an eventful drive there as we got slightly lost and Luke spilled coffee all over his pants minutes before we arrived! On the plus side, Romy didn't spew over her party dress & enjoyed the party!

Even though I really don't like getting up early, mornings are my favourite time of the day now that we have Romy. That first little morning smile through the cot slats are the best, and she is always so excited to see us. After Romy has her morning milkshake she usually likes to crawl all over us in bed, but more so all over Luke. Getting to spend that hour altogether in bed before we start our day is my favourite.

The last couple of days Romy hasn't needed much encouragement to go down for her lunchtime nap, and has pretty much been falling asleep through her lunch bottles. I think this teething gig is taking its toll on her.

While Romy napped today I got out my craft box & some old magazines and made some cards to put in the post later in the month. I set myself a goal this month of sending out four pieces of snail mail, and I'm already halfway to accomplishing that little goal. It was a nice way to spend my rainy afternoon, I forgot how fun making magazine collages could be.

It was almost 9pm when Luke & I sat down to eat dinner. Romy has been teething pretty badly this week and getting her into bed of a night has been a bit of an ordeal. We went for an evening walk to try and settle her & she fell asleep three blocks from our house. Lucky we prepared everything for our dinner before we left so it took a total of two minutes to assemble.

Romy had scrambled egg for breakfast which she fed herself. In our previous attempts to get her to eat different textures there have been tantrums, but today she really enjoyed picking up the egg and eating it herself.

We had an appointment in Newcastle this morning so we made a super quick trip there and back. After a couple of wet days here on the coast it sure was nice to be out and about in the sun, Romy even had to bust out her shades!

Last night Ash & Al stayed over and this morning we had blueberry bagels, bacon and eggs. Romy tried bacon for the first time and it didn't go down too well, but she was quite fond of scrambled eggs.

When the wind dies down later on I am going to be annoyed with myself that I didn't hang my washing out earlier.
