Three Months On

Three months has passed and I can't believe how quickly it has gone by!

We are all adjusting well as a family and have been loving life. Our apartment has worked out well and it is great being so close to the beach. Mike goes surfing most Saturdays and Sundays and I can't wait till summer comes and we can take the bubs down on the sand.

I have fallen on my feet and have a wonderful group of friends. Many of the new Mum's from the antinatal classes we did at Manly hospital have got together and meet each Friday. The are a fun, proactive bunch and it is great to have a network of people who are experiencing the same things at the same times! Funnily enough there are 4 English girls, 1 Welsh, 1 New Zealander and 1 Australian! I also have another group of girls from our local Early Childhood clinic who meet on a Monday and then two friends who are recent mum's who live up the road. All in all lots of friends to meet for coffee most days of the week! I read a recent article that said that Manly is actually the "Yummy Mummy' capital of Australia so I have a lot to live up to!













Jasmine now seems much more like a little person than a baby! She has smiles a plenty! that she dishes out to everyone! not just Mum and Dad. She is really quite a wriggler and no longer is content lying down and needs to be sitting or standing (with help ofcourse) at every opportunity! She has rolled from front to back twice a few weeks ago but has not done it again since and has twice been found at the other end of the bed in the morning! She is not getting very adept with her hands grabbing anything in reach and with both hands putting it straight in her mouth! I think we will most definately have a crawler by Christmas! Oh joy on a 24 hour flight!













Jasmine started swimming lessons 3 weeks ago and has prooved to be quite the little fish! She was quite happy in the water and didn't cry once when dunked under the water or zoomed here or there! She also had her first flight last week with a little trip to Byron Bay for Jennine and Andrew's wedding. She was the perfect angel and is already racking up the frequent flyer points for our up and coming trip to the UK.
Jennine and Andrew's wedding was just gorgeous! At a beach house at Suffolk Park, the day was one of eligance and sophistication. Jeninne looked amazing, the food was scrumptuous, the venue glamorous, the ceremony symbolic and the weather was stunning! They could not have hoped for a better day.


























Also a recent event was Mike's first Father's Day! It was a relaxing day with nice weather, a cooked breakfast, a walk along the beach and lots of Daddy and daughter time. As you will notice from the photos below Jasmine likes to read with Daddy and Daddy doesn't let Jasmine get in the way of the sports section!













So that is news from us for the moment! Life is fun and we can't wait for the summer with lots of beach action!
