They say there's only one thing better than being a kid at Christmas..................Having a kid at Christmas!
Jb may be under one years old but she was a delight this Christmas, she picked up on the Christmas spirit and was very jovial!
Jb, Shaun and I had yummy croissants and fruit for breaky, unfortunately then Shaun had to work so Jb and I went to an orphans lunch at our friend Tawna's -It was EPIC with oysters Kilpatrick, Japanese oysters, prawns, pearl meat, roast meats, vegies, gourmet salads, cocktails you name it! Miss J had many swims in the pool and stayed very chilled out despite not having an arvo nap.
After lunch we opened presents together with Daddy and then Shaun and I had some Chrissy Dinner ( thank you Tawna for the luxury left overs) and Great Aunty Merome's special steamed pudding DEVINE!!
Can't wait till Jb's next Christmas when she's even more aware of what's going on. Shaun has decided to put in to have next Christmas off as he was disappointed not to spend the hole day with us.
Next ...........Jb first New Year.....well she wont be counting down but it will be a lovely treat starting the new year off with our little angel!
BTW Went to the Paediatrician yesterday and she said not to worry Jb will crawl and walk eventually she's just going to be a bit delayed as gaining her head/ neck strength took a bit of extra time so it will be a bit of a domino effect with delayed crawling and walking. Jb has very strong upper body strength though doing planks, push ups and commando rolls all over the house to get around. She is almost there just keeping us hanging!
I've let you with some festive photos

It must have been a very special day for you all. She is so gorgeous, and so very like a red haired version of you!
