Fiona Joanne Murray

She Crawls!

2008-01-29T12:14:00.001-08:00

Yes she has finally learned how to go forwards, after being completely frustrated for weeks. She figured it out on the 25th and is already getting better, if I leave the room she now follows me whineing for me to slow down so she can keep up! Fi will crawl to you if you call her but will stop just out of reach, then belly flop expecting to be picked up. I realise how unsafe my house is now she is mobile, once we have moved I will be baby proofing everything! Also a bit of news, Fiona is getting a little brother or sister by the end of September, yes mum is pregnant again!

8 Months old now...

Fiona has grown alot in the last few months, both in size and in personality! She weighs 20lbs 10oz and is as big as autumn already. She has not quite got the hang of crawling yet but is moving backwards and sideways really well. I think she just wants to walk already! Christmas was mad there were so many presents, Fiona loved them all she enjoys playing with her little people zoo and making the bird whistle. She also loves the rocking sheep and giggles when she is on it. At the moment Fi loves going in the baby walker and scooting into your ankles as she whips round the kitchen floor. It also gives her access to things she shouldnt reach like the top of the bin or her daddy's laptop on the table!

6 months plus

Fiona is growing well now and developing a personality too. She can sit up without support and likes to play sat near the tv. She suddenly rolled over one morning when I was changing her nappy, I left her on the floor while I got rid of her nappy and when I looked back she was lying on her back! Fi has been rolling over for a couple of weeks and just recently can roll both ways but only if the mood takes her. No signs of crawling yet but she is reaching for toys alot so maybe by christmas she will be fully mobile. She is a really smiley girl and always has a lovely grin for most people although when she is tired she will make you work for it. Fiona sings and babbles a bit now and she laughs at things she finds funny like her Uncle Paul and his beard! More pictures to follow soon. xx

Fiona now weighs 17lbs 4oz gained 9 oz in a week. She has started on solid foods now, only just, had her first taste of baby rice (yuck) apple puree (yum) and has just tried butternut squash (yummy) Fiona is going to like eating I think. She has learned how to sream and sing and is always making a noise of some sort. She has been a bit poorly this last week, a bit of teething and a bit of a cold which hasnt been much fun for me as Daddy has been away and she has been waking in the night a lot. Well have to go Fi is really good at shouting when she is hungry! xx

Fiona is growing really well, she weighs 15lbs 12oz. She is turning over on her sides but hasnt quite rolled right over again properly yet. Her favourite game is flying baby and has really enjoyed her baby massage course. We have had some lovely pictures taken for the Tiny Treasures competition in the Express I will try and scan one in when I have more time. For now here are a few recent pictures although you cant really tell just how big she is from them. Mum. xx

And we all roll over.....

I was lying on my tummy today and decided to roll onto my back! Mummy thought it was just a fluke and put me back on my tummy, so I rolled over again and again! Wow what a clever baby I am. I had more nasty jabs last Friday and screamed for ten minutes. I have been a grumpy girl this weekend but have started smiling again today. I went to a big noisy bbq on Saturday which was good until it started to rain. Wont let me post new piccies so will try again soon.

3 months already

Its 3 months already, I am growing fast. I was a poorly girl last week, had a tummy bug which gave me a rash every time I had a bottle. Mummy had to take me to see the doctor and I wasnt allowed to drink milk for a while. Will post some pictures soon. I think I am all better now, a different formula helped. I make lots of cooing noises now mummy cant shut me up and I smile and almost laugh at her too. Ive just learned to smile and wriggle when I am being tickled. I weigh 12lb 15 oz, which is great considering I was poorly last week, oh will get mummy to sort out some photo's from the christening soon.

2 Months old - Jabs tomorrow...

Today I went to baby clinic, I now weigh 12lb 3oz! Growing well, just like my cousin Autumn. I now smile at people a lot more and giggle a bit too. I have discovered what my hands are too and quite like popping them in my mouth for a chew. When mummy puts me under my mobile toys I bat them with my hands and every morning I always have a big smile and a hug for her too. I'm keeping mummy busy whilst daddy is back at work, lots of puking and lots of drinking milk. I watch a little bit of tv now too and find teletubbies funny.

Hi, for the past few weeks I have been mostly putting on weight being sick after every feed and sleeping. I weighed 11lb 4oz 3 days ago, must be more now!! I have learnt how to smile and follow people around the room with my eyes mainly mummy & daddy, I also recognise thier voices. I am getting stronger every day, being able to hold my head up for longer periods of time, I'm also finding my voice, screaming a little louder and making cute noises.

A big smile for Daddy. I like being in my bouncy chair when I'm wide awake. (mummy takes really nice piccies) I am alot more alert now and am learning about lots of new things. I spend all the time awake looking around and taking in all the new faces and places. I went to baby clinic this morning I weigh 10lbs 10oz. I dont fit my newborn clothes any more I am growing really fast.

So I'm 3 weeks old now, I can hold my head up when lying on my front, make cute noises that mummy laughs at and wake up mummy & daddy more at night!!! Last week I went on my first real outing, I got dressed up and went to a wedding-which was nice. I'm a fatty now i've put on 1lb in weight so I weigh 9lb 4oz, not bad for 3 weeks I think!!!

Life is hard! All this sleeping and eating. During my first week here I have met lots of new people, my grandparents, uncles, aunties, cousins & my mummy and daddys friends. I have learnt mummy & daddys voices and faces and how to get their attention. I now weigh 8lb 10oz and feeding more during the night, my mummy & daddy hate getting up in the night - hehehe.
