If I disappear, I'm probably trapped in the folding portable cot/playpen of doom. It weighs a ton, and while getting it assembled was a trial, disassembling it was a nightmare. My brother brought it over to use here (he said they'd been given it (I'm wondering whether it tried to eat the previous owners)). Mum's going to look at some down the shops, but we're wondering if this might be pretty standard. I think it requires a licence to operate.

Anyways, Lara Kate came for a visit this morning with her daddy. She's really reacting when she sees you, smiling and making faces. She was tired and got grumpy, I managed to get her to sleep in my arms, and I even managed to sit down without her detecting the change in air pressure. She's so gorgeous. M had to call K to tell her to come to our place to feed Lara at midday. Even though they live only a few minutes around the road, she wasn't going to settle enough for him to get her home.

She's rolled over! And she's only 14 weeks today. When she's put down on her stomach she starts pushing herself up. She also managed to push herself on to her hands and knees, but then couldn't work out what to do.

And she loves her Eeyore/bee toy which I gave her for Christmas. And she loves the cow I gave her...K said she loves all the toys Aunty Kate gives her *beams*

Being an Aunt is Special

[darkrefuge.livejournal.com]

See why have one's own kids when being the aunt can be so much fun!?
I am glad that she likes the toys you buy her best. *grin* (Wait until you get to buy her the talking toys... the loud toys and the musical instruments!)
And I always enjoyed taking my little nieces and nephews to the Disney movies, pumping them full of sugar, buying them a new loud toy... then sending them home to their parents! *giggle*
You'd think they'd have caught onto my methods by the 6th kid... but no. *snicker* Or they just liked having "alone time" enough to put up with my wicked ways.
When I would take Kali (who is now 20) to the library or on an errand, when I put the car in gear I'd say, "And away we..."
And she'd yell, "Go!" We always got a big kick out of that. It's funny, but now that she has a little one I was running an errand with them both. And I backed out of the driveway and said, "And away we..."
Yeah, she still remembers the correct response. *gets all misty eyed*
Oh I hope that you and baby Lara have such wonderful memories too! *Hugs*

How lovely :) I hope I'm as close to Lara when she grows up.

Aww! I remember when my brother rolled over for the first time. He was wearing a white outfit and lying on the sheepskin rug. He was 4 months though. 14 weeks is very impressive! She'll be one of those crawl and 6 months and walk at 8 and a half won't she....

What a lovely memory :)

We thought she'd be early, she's very strong. She was pushing herself to a standing position (while you were holding her around the chest or under the arms) when she was about 2 months old. Her little legs and arms are always moving. Her daddy rolled over at 12 weeks, the rest of us were more around the 4 months.
