We did it!!

Kelsea has always beena terrible sleeper - every now and then she will sleep through the nigth - but she ALWAYS stops this as soon as it starts. Well we knew the main problem was she kept waking up for her dummy. Well yesterday Kelsea had a bad day - didn't want to eat - didn't want to sleep just unhappy really all day. ALst night was no different - at about 10:30 i got her up and gave her panadol thinking - well it can't hurt!! It has never really made her drowsy- so no good for sleep aid!! then i put het back to bed - after jared ansd i both trying to settle her - J ared made me stay out and let her cry it out - well i actually fell asleep!! and 1 and a half hours later so did she - THEN jared! she threw out her dummy and tshirt (like a blankie) so we thought Right! no more dummy. i threw them all away this morning....and she actually went to sleep - after only 15 mins of crying. so we finally did it. it is a little scary but also exciting - hopefully soon the little tacker will start to sleep!!! sorry now i think i lost the camera - so no pics....... shame 0- she is sooooooooooo cute asleep!!

Me and my daddy!!!

Kelsea loves her daddy alot. In fact the word that she says the most is dadadadada!! and daddy~! Even when she talks to me she calls ME daddy!! We discovered that Kelsea loves riding on Jared's shoulders

Kelsea also goes "running" into the bathromm whenever JAred is in the bath and screams at him and throws everything in the bath - she likes to slap his head too and gets a bit concerned when ever he washes out the shampoo. This morning when we woke up - JAred had left for work and Kelsea kept looking to his side of the bed and going dadadadada and laughing - coz she always attacks him!!

New House

Well we have finally moved in to our new place. It is in Devonport and we are really excited to be in our own home finally. Kelsea has her OWN room and we are currently teaching her how to sleep - yet again! there have been lots of screams and tantrums but she is getting there - only woke up up twice last night - but was up at 5:45 am for the day!! But that is ok - i still got to go to sleep all by myself!
ANyway back to the house! THe kitchen is new and it has 3 bedrooms and a fire place. The back yard is all fenced in and large with lawn and lots of rose bushes. There is a HUGE shed/garage that Jared loves!! and a carport also.

The funny thing about moving is that something is bound to go wrong! Well our TV blew up about 2 days after we moved in - much to Jared's horror! (Oh well - he just has to talk to me now:) ) OH! and our move cost us $300 more than we awere anticipating - as a tree collided with the passenger side of the truck.......ahhh!!!!!!!

PHOTOS

yay have pics now - you will haveto scroll down as I have updated some posts!!

Cousins!!

Kelsea is blessed to have many cousins!! she has 11 all up and 3 more on the way by next April!It is so wonderful for her to have lots of girl cousins - both our families have lots of boys in fact out of nans 39 grandkids, only 11 are girls! But Kelsea also loves her boy cousins and Jarod and Liam especially love her!! (they all do)! When Kels goes to visit the kiddies Liam is so sweet - he will take off his jumper or dressing gown and drape it over her shoulders or lap and go "there you go kels!!" Liam is 4, Jarod is 6 and Ella is 2. Jarod is such a big brother to her aswell as his own siblings - he is a fantastic help! Ella loves kels - but sometimes she will get upset and go "mine" "ellas" "not for Kels!" But then she makes up for it with hugs and playing with her!! ever goHere are some pics the night before we left Glen Huon

Straight after this photo Kelse fell head first off the couch - ouch!!

Horsing Around!!

There are two fantastic horses at Nanna's house!! Kelsea just loves to rides them, especially the yellow and green one!!

Mum found this rocking horse for $20 at a market in Glenorchy - bargain!! All the grandkids love it!!

Mother's Group

Kelsea and I have been lucky enough to attend a couple of Mother's Group activities with the Mums and kiddies from church (at Devonport). Kelsea loves the other Kids and loves all teh space and toys that are so different to her own! (the poor deprived girl has no bike!!!) These are a few pics that Nicki took of 4 of the girls !!

Starting at bottom left; Oifa (not sure if spelling is right!) and Maddi in conversation. And Kelsea and Azhure having a chat!! How cute! The 3 girls are all very close in age and will all be in Nursery together very soon!!

Notice how all the drink bottles are the same!! sheer coincidence!!
