Love, bubs and life on our little farm

Just a quick update - have been pretty busy round here!

Elka is 15 weeks today and we dropped into the clinic for a check-up. She is 6.9kg and 63cm long now - in the 90th percentile for both height and weight so she is still going strong!

The nurse checked her and she has met all her 4 month milestones which is great! Ie grabbing things, turning to see me across the room and her neck strength..

Bubs is starting to laugh a lot more - she isnt real good at it though! Its a cross between breathing loudly and coughing! But so so cute! She is a cheery little thing at the moment - really loving playing with her toys, her crinkly book (a big hit) and stomping her legs. She is still trying to roll - she is good at getting on her side from her back but the tummy to back is still a bit tricky - she gets a lean up but really isn't getting there yet! She loves to be held in a standing position - she just beams and beams with big open mouth grins!

Sleep isn't too bad - she has been catnapping during the day. I am working on settling her between sleep cycles. Nights are still great from 7pm (dreamfeed at 10.30pm) through to 5.30am for a feed, then back to sleep till 7am.

On wednesday, I am leaving Elka for the whole day whilst I go on that work trip to Canberra :( I am sort of dreading it and will be glad when it is over. But really I have to suck it up as she will be going to daycare for 2 days a week in February anyway!

Otherwise, its been pretty hot here. We got some good work done on the drainage this past weekend plus some nice relaxing :) Not much to mention on the horse front - haven't had much time as working on a grant application for work.. but did lunge Spech over a little jump yesterday...

Can you believe that it is like 12 weeks till xmas! We bought some cute toys for Elka already ;)
