My Baby is Growing!

Wow, last night I charged our batteries, stood on the scale and weighed my baby.
At one week old she had lost .5kg and weighed in at 3kg. Now 5 weeks later she weighs in at a hefty 4.9kg! wow!
Then I brought out the trusty measuring tape and measured her from crown to foot - she's grown from 50cm at birth to 67cm! I am in shock, She is the longest baby ever! Her nickname is Padda (frog) and Monkey Girl, very apt...

So far she has been an amazing baby. She is so friendly and engaging and makes my days fly by. She only cries when she is hungry (if I don't notice her niggling beforehand)and sleeps almost through the night! Last night was the best yet she slept from 9pm right through til 4:30am! I was so stoked!

Sav's GodMother, Cristine Dyer is her third fave person on earth... its the sweetest thing, whenever Cris holds Sav, Sav puts her hands under her chin and her elbows out on either side - all cute - and falls asleep on Cris's chest. Oh yes, on occasion she does "ask" Cris for milk... in the most slobbery, sucky way imaginable - it leaves us in hysterics! My child, the chancer.

Francis has been amazing, I really have to say that he has made all of this "do-able" by helping me in every way. He works so very hard, he leaves for work at 7:15 every morning and often gets home after 6pm exhausted, but, he never ever says no if I ask him to help me with Sav. He will change a pooh nappy at 4am if I ask him to, he carries her when we shop, changes her clothes, snuggles with her, soothes her when she cries, tucks her into bed, loves her and has become a loving and able Father to her. Every so often he will set up a bottle or two in the fridge and gives me "the night off" so that I can sleep through, he still gets up and goes to work with little sleep behind him, so that I can feel refreshed. What a star. Big love to you Franco.
