I should really have remembered to post this photo in my last entry. Here you can see Harriet staring very carefully at Grandma and reaching out to try and play with her. SO CUTE! It's not the greatest photo because it's dark in Grandma's house and the flash on our camera is crap. You can also see here how she has a chubber roll at the top of her legs.
Last weekend we went to Karrinyup Shopping Centre - James carried the monkey around in the BB carrier for three hours and she didn't make a peep! Of course she got lots of adoring looks and comments from passers by - who can resist her?
Whilst we were checking out stuff, we went into this shop called Early Learning Centre. It is the best shop for kiddywinks! This was the prize though - a dinosaur rocker that you can sit on and have many joyous times with. It was so soft and for only a measly $150 it too can be your child's memory of how spoilt they were. We loved it!
This was also mega-cool. It's a knitted toy cow from David Jones - I thought of you straight away Jennie! They have kittens and mice and all sorts of animals, but something about this cow really stood him out from the rest of the menagerie. It's a lot more financially accessible at only $35. I can't believe that I liked the cow more than the kitten, what's going on? Are you converting me by distance, Jennie? Or am I expressing your intense desire to get out of Sydney Rotation?!
And last but not least - baby with detachable head! Harriet fell asleep in Papa's arms and she decided that this was the most comfortable position to do that in. What a weirdo. Her neck is extremely flexible, she loves to make it look as though her head is on a hinge. We don't like the suit she's in there (it was an emergency 00 purchase). we woke up this morning and the side of the leg hole was cutting into her upper leg! Didn't seem to bother her, but I don't particularly like having to wrench skin from under the cloth to get her free. (It wasn't quite that bad, but if I don't exaggerate at least a little then it's no fun)
She was very cranky for about two and a half hours last night, which she hasn't done for quite a while. Not too sure what was going on, but she went down to sleep for the night ok which was our biggest concern. And we did get to watch the second episode of The Amazing Race - Family Edition in the end. We also watched RPA - Melinda, one of the girls I know from my EB forum, is having her pregnancy broadcast on the show over a period of weeks, so look out for her. I hate to give it away but it is a happy ending in her case - YAY!

Yeah, your own cry-cow! Thank god for you it's nearly over, it's enough to drive a person crazy...you start thinking "is this how they operate in the real world?" because you start losing touch with the real world...of COURSE all patients get iv fluids for any surgery and of COURSE all patients get unlimited rads done until the problem is identified.
And yeah I agree about the growing pains, I've said that so often to James that he now just rolls his eyes and says "I know, I know, she's *growing*". My brother had bad growing pains when he was a teenager and shot up to 6'5" over a few months.
