Ok I did try to get this up before Christmas but the videos were taking far too long and I was far too tired to wait for them. But here it is! I'm busy trying to get photos of her enjoying all her Christmas pressies so the next entry should be up very soon unless the bump decides to come earlier than expected.
I can't believe Christmas is only 2 sleeps away. I thought I was all prepared but keep thinking of things that haven't been done yet. On top of that I'm busy packing and re-packing my hospital bag and looking for all the baby stuff. Only 4 weeks to go! Argh!
Lydibug is pure delight. I'm loving being home with her again. She is so entertaining and such a chatterbox. I love hearing her on the monitor in the morning singing or counting to herself, though she has forgotten the art of lying in. She is loving our half done garden. It has been cleared and new turf laid, she has a great time running around the trees and has a ball when the sprinkler is on. For Christmas she is getting a swing set so I'm looking forward to spending long lazy afternoons in the garden with Lydi on the swings and the baby asleep. Sounds bliss....
She has had her photo with Father Christmas and although there were no tears, there were no smiles either except when there were presents to be had. We've been to a few Christmas get togethers. One at day care where there was a huge bouncy castle, another with all my old school (now mums) colleagues and our mother's group met at Lollipop Land where Daddy encouraged Lydibug right to the top of the jungle gym. She was having a great time till a bigger child rushed by and then she just cried till her Daddy climbed up to rescue her. So pleased he was there, I'm not sure how far I would have got.
Lydi is still loving her music. Every time we flick through the music channels she says 'nooooo' or 'rubbish' until we find a song she likes. Her latest fav is Paradise by Coldplay but Lady Gaga and LAMFO are still up there. I'm not sure where she is getting the dance moves but it sure is entertaining.
We have just taken the side off her cot as I really want her settled in her own bed before the new bub needs the cot. All has been going well until tonight, I was just skyping two lovely ladies back home when we heard a couple of bangs, then crying. I found her trying to get the door open from the wrong side. It doesn't help that she has a double ear infection at the moment, poor little lamb. She has had a drippy nose for a few days but last night she was holding both her ears crying 'owweee!' It was a long night for everyone but the antibiotics are doing their job so hopefully all will be well for Christmas. A few new teeth are about to poke through so I think this is the cause of it all.
A few weeks ago we had some gorgeous visitors from NZ come and stay. They have a little boy about Lydi's age so we got a good insight into what this place will be like with two little monkeys running about, I am thinking we need a bigger house. But Lydi loved having a playmate about. They had a great time at South Bank, GOMA and Aus zoo. The grown-ups had a great time too, though we didn't get to enjoy our usual night out enjoying cocktails. May be next time.

Lydi has come out with some classic lines lately. I think I will have to start writing them down before they are lost in time. The other day she was twirling about like a loon and I asked her if she had gone loco, she replied 'si'. The other day Daddy got some new basketball jerseys and she calls them Daddy's dresses. Lydi is attempting to tell the time. I asked her Dad what the time was and she looked at her wrist and announced it was six. Now every time we ask her she checks her wrist and says 'it's six' or 'about six'. But my favourite recent line was when I offered her Daddy a hand with some work and she came running in, hands in the air shouting 'I've got hands, I've got hands'. She cracks us up but has also perfected throwing a tantrum. It's the full on hands and head down to the floor, bottom in the air and screaming. She gets so worked up I don't think she even knows what started it, but I find the best way is to just find something to do and she normally comes to join me. After a quick cuddle all is forgotten, I'm hoping this keeps working.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Love Lucy and Lydibug xx
