Say hello, wave goodbye!

Darling Baby Kay, another week has passed and you are growing bigger and brighter and taller! It seems like every day you learn something new that fills us with happiness, and gives you no end of fun as you practice.

Recently it has been 'giving kisses' - you used to just lean your head over when people leaned in towards you to give you a kiss. Now instead you meet them face on with your mouth (and sometimes make a Mmmm noise at the same time!) You have also gotten the hang of waving to people over the last 2 or 3 days - waving hello, waving goodbye, waving at whoever is feeding you at your high chair, waving just for the fun of it. You are so delighted with yourself when you find something new like this!

This week ahead will be a quiet one (DV...) Daddy is off to Barcelona this week, so for some of it we will just be girls together. We have some things to sort this week - some birthday cards for Nanny, some fruit to puree for the freezer to go in your porridge in the mornings, and fit in some cleaning and housework somewhere too!!

I have finally got the first little SunBonnet Sue template cut and hand-appliqued - the first of a long line of flowery, sweet little girls for your quilt, so that (along with blogging!) will keep me focused in the evenings when you are in bed.

Another week older, more beautiful, and more precious to our hearts little darling. Sweet dreams x

I love it when babies learn something new. I have a friend whose daughter makes kissy noises when she kisses you. It's so cute.

First, a word from the man who has major sports envy. Fulham is "his" team. Most FA cup football matches are not shown here, at least on either of the two all soccer all of the time channels. Just an FYI! Hehehe

Waving and kissing are two great skills. I can picture Miss Baby Kay being quite pleased with herself. Mummy should be quite impressed with herself, also. Your photos (and words) are capturing your growing daughter, very well. Just look at her expression in today's post...perfectly precious.

I can't wait to see the start of the quilt. How did you learn quilting?

Oh, and you have a good memory. The fortune cookie was the very one that I had saved for Briana. Shhh!!!

Oh Fiona!! Doesn't she just simply make your heart melt???
Don't you wonder how our hearts can actually contain all the love we have for our children??

What a blessing we have in being "Mums" as you say. There is truly nothing else like it, and it's part of God's perfect design!! What a wonder!!! What a joy!!!

I'm so happy for you, sweetie!! Take all of those little sloppy kisses you can get, and cherish each one!!

Have a great week!!
Blessings,
Becky

Awww, she looks so serious! I have a quilt my grandmother made me of sunbonnet sues on a swings ~ I used it from when I was about 12 on. She gave it to me when I was 7 or so, it was so sweet! I know she's just going to love the quilt you make for her!

Your little one is so darling. She looks like a little doll sitting there in her sweet dress! Such a cute picture. It is so adorable when they beging to learn social graces like waving and saying hello. Their little faces and hearts are so open and sincere!

Baby Kay is so intent! Don't you just wish you could get in her little head and discover all that she is thinking of?

Baby kisses are the absolute best. It is so fun when they start responding and connect kisses with love and affection. I can just picture Baby Kay in her high chair waving to her food!

Baby Kay's contented and joyful nature is a testimony to the loving, secure environment you are providing for her. That doesn't just happen, it has to be nurtured and trained!

Hope you enjoy these quiet days with Daddy K gone, and that they will pass quickly for you.

Have a blessed and rest-filled week. May God provide the strength you need as you mommy "alone."

Lovingly,
~Sara
