Freyja has been pretty much an angel – minus them naughty gummies of hers, which are causing her a lot of grief at the moment. She is finally sleeping through the night again though – ONLY when she has 4 solid feeds a day on top of her milk. She’ll be on pureed food soon – I’m really looking forward to cooking them veggies!!

In other news, we are waiting on a call from the bank – hopefully approving our mortgage application! Eek! We have seen a lovely house in Portsmouth that we are really hoping we get accepted for. It won’t be ready until March, as it’s a new build, but we are waiting on a call from the bank. It’s nerve racking to say the least! And one helluva big step. But a step we both so desperately want to take.
We’re off t’up North for the weekend to see friends – it’ll be a nice break, and hopefully get some pictures. I’ve just realised I’ve been pretty slack on the photos in September. In fact, I’ve been pretty slack on everything.
I need to get some pictures of Freyja sitting – she is so good now! She seems to have perfected her sitting technique, and her balance, over night. She hardly wobbles now! Clever girly – 5 months and sitting like a star. We are so proud of her!

It doesn’t seem 2 seconds since I was praising her for rolling over unaided, and smiling because she had learned to laugh. Now, she has learnt how to sit up. She hasn’t quite mastered the art just yet, but she is most definately getting there. She seems to be better at it if she is sitting on me or James, or on the settee. She isn’t quite so good at the whole balance thing if she tried to do it on the floor. But she’s getting there – and it’s so adorable!

Freyja Sitting

She’s also well and truly found her feet. She sucks her toes all the time! Which sometimes proves to be difficult – especially when I’m trying to change her nappy and she doesn’t put her legs down. Or, like what happened yesterday, she put her legs down at the LEAST convenient time – i.e. when there was a dirty nappy to stamp in. Thanks Freyja. Poo inbetween toes is not the easiest thing to get rid off before she tried to suck them again.

Sucking Toes

She’s decided that she doesn’t want to sleep through the night again now, but has decided that having naps in the day is a good idea – the complete opposite to my last post! It doesn’t really bother me to be fair, shen she does wake up during the night, she’s only awake for about 20 minutes. But, and I’m sure every other parent could agree, the waking up 2 hours before your alarm really does throw your body clock. To the point where, on numerous occasions this week, we’ve slept through the alarm. Not the best thing to do when we both have work to do!

I also want to quickly say congrats to Vicky and Matt on the safe arrival of their baby girl, Gracie-May. She’ll be just over a week old now, and she’s absolutely beautiful. Hopefully her and Freyja will grow to be good friends. And, it’s Steph’s due date on Saturday! My, how that has flown! So there will be another little baby to meet and cuddle soon, in the form of little Henry! And I can’t wait to meet him!

In other news, my wedding planner is out in full force – I’m starting to make invitations etc for our forthcoming wedding. We’ll be going up to Tutbury to see the venue at the end of the month – and will also, by then, have a set-in-stone date! Busy Busy! It’s going to be fantastic – even if Freyja does steal the show from me :-)
