Clementine's Semi Birthday.

The lovely baby Clementine was 6 months old on Saturday the 9th July. Its a case of how on earth did 6 months disappear so quickly?

Just like I did for Addie's 6 month birthday, we had Macdonalds for breakfast, and Tiny munched on a little piece of hotcake, while her sister made a big mess of hotcakes, I ate mine properly and Andrew paid a stupid amount of money for a teeny little bagel, and went hungry.  My parents, Grandma and Grandpa to the girls, and Aunty Tori were with us as well so it was a lovely breakfast.

Tiny at 6 months can finally roll in all directions, and is close to sitting unassisted. She'd prefer to be sitting than lying down and loves being in her Bebe Pod. While her sister is a whiner, Tiny is a sooker, and can be most upset it it suits her but what she doesn't know is that it is pretty funny from where we stand.

She still cosleeps and breast feeds. She sleeps in her hammock during the day, and loves it still, even though her feet touch the end. She won't eat mushy food at all, but she'll happily gum anything she can hold in her hand, so we're looking at baby led solids - its messy but not as messy as a baby not interested in mush.

Tiny loves Dad, thinks mum is her personal property [as does Addie, hence a few of our daily struggles] and adores Adelaide, despite the fact Addie sits on her every 10 min on average, her hugs are really chokeholds and when Addie feels powerless she takes it out on the baby.  All things that we're trying to modify. Addie also seems to be taking an active role in Tiny's nutrition, always sharing food and drinks with her despite our protestations. On Sunday I found she'd even shared an old teabag from my cup with her. Mmmm. Tiny loves when Addie talks with her, tickles, sings to her [today Addie was playing "row row your boat" with Tiny and making her do the actions, hilarious].


She is adorable, lovely, beautiful, kissable, chubby, cheerful and our very special very loved Clementine.
