First word

LOL, they learn things so fast, ayja has rolled over a couple of times randomly - but today, the wee cheeky girl, .. EVERY time i put her on her tummy, she rolled straight onto her back - didn't even wait till my back was turned - just rolled over and laughed at me and blew raspberries. frustrating cos over the last few days she has been scooting round in circles on her tummy... hopefully it might mean she's crawling my xmas - lolol... i feel so silly but am so excited cos Paris never rolled till she was 14 months, and never crawled at all... so having a baby doing the "normal" things at about the right time makes me so giddy. lololol. sorry, just had to share my excitement.

yah Ayja. i bet in a few months you'll be posting about how Ayja is getting into everything and you are exhausted!!

How old is Ayja now? Josiah's making a determined effort to crawl, and in the past week has gone from wriggling and rolling to move around, to last night pulling himself forwards with his arms. He also props himself up on his legs, then pushes forward and slides along on his face!

lol i'm thinking more about when she is plkaying and ayja is finally moving enough to be able to get to her.. i think maybe she might end up taking to playing in her room around then

Ayja was 6 months old yesterday.. if she's on tummy she'll sorta go round in circles, and will face dive as well - bringing her legs up under her, but face still smushed on the ground, so if she tries to push forwards she just gets a squashed face.. am sure she'll get it together soon though.

we are just having trouble rightnow cos all the toys ayja is old enough to play with used to be paris's and paris still thinks of them as hers... once we get a new place and can separate out the toys in different rooms it might be better.. should have seen when paris came home at lunch time to see the little car dashboard thing on ayja's playmat.. if looks could kill..

Over the last little while, as Kiya has outgrown her toys I've put them away in a box saying "lets put this here for any babies who come to visit". Then, once I was pregnant with Josiah I'd say "lets put this away for Baby". After he was born, I took some of the toys out of her room saying "You've got lots of big-girl toys, and you don't play with these ones. Can Josiah have them instead?" It seems to have worked so far. She's only tried to claim back a couple of toys so far, and we told her that if she wanted a "baby" toy, then we'd swap it for one of her "big kid" toys - like her bike! Kiya wasn't so keen on that!
