Not quite the way the manufacturers intended me thinks...

With the birth of Elsie in January 2011 Joel and I decided to take 9 months out to spend as a family in New Zealand. This blog will follow what we get up to while we are down under. There won't be any hilarious adventures or witty prose. Expect the mundane with the ordinary - a detailed recording of the minutiae of our domesticity. This blog is for us, for posterity and those of you currently far away wondering how we are getting on. If it's details you're after – you’ve come to the right place!

Thursday 22 March-day off with my baby
Today I had a day off work so I enjoyed a precious day with my baby girl. It was a really really warm spring day so after a massive morning sleep and lunch we headed down to the park. Elsie insisted on wearing her back pack which she had previously filled with treasure earlier the morning (dad's car keys, Jess's brown shoes, a book about farm animals and a comb). She also insisted on walking to the park all by herself but she hasn't really mastered the travelling on course bit - or the walking bit. This is us going round in circles on the grass outside our development.
It was lovely to be able to hang out at the playground this afternoon in the sun. Lovely and warm we spent ages just relaxing and sitting on the (dry!) grass while Elsie practiced walking up and down slopes.

No more accidents today thankfully and Elsie really enjoyed her bath. She is drooling heavily, having cut her third top tooth and I can see that the 4th is coming through too. Poor baby. She is still proudly saying her favourite word "uh oh" which has been firmly added to her existing vocabulary:
*da-di
*hiya
*hi
She has also started saying "mo" which I hoped was the beginning of mummy, howeger, I have realised that this is in fact "more" - usually with reference to food!
This evening she came up with one more new word. She was poking me in the eye (as she does ) and I was saying "Elsie no" (as you do) when she clear as a bell looked me in the eye and said "neh".

12 March 2012 - Elsie gets a shiner!
Today Elsie got a black eye at nursery! It seems she was fighting with some other children over a toy and the next thing she fell backwards. It was after this that staff noticed her eye. Elsie had the toy in her hands so it seems like she may have wrested it from the other babies and klonked herself in the eye with it!
In other news she apparently really enjoyed her spaghetti bolognese today.

Elsie playing in the hat box. I could just imagine this. She is really starting to imitate us in our daily tasks and is starting to try and help with things like dressing and eating. Her independent streak is developing!

Elsie has her first accident! I arrived early to collect her only to find her with blood running down her lip. It was quite a sight and I think the staff were mortified eith my timing.more than anything. The diagram on the accident form cracked Joel and I up. Why don't they have a diagram of a child's body?
