Lo and Behold, an update!

I thought it was about time I got back into the swing of blogging. I have just been so unmotivated by the idea of sitting and talking about stuff that I just look at this screen and say... oh well!

Tara: Wonderful, beautiful, cheeky and joyous. She is developing into such an amazing little girl. She is learning things very quickly which is so special to see - though she has no real concept of many language things, other things she is a whizz! Pushing buttons is her main joy - she will seek out any button if you say "Button!"

Words she understands:
Button
Shoes
Daddy
Mummy
Who's at the front door?
In the box!
Step up
Step down
High Chair
Push the door
Open the door
Food
Drink
Milk
Booby
Sit
Lay Down
Esmerelda (her doll)
Bath
Dance
Run

There are plenty more, but I am straining to think of them! She also knows bits of sign language - Milk, Food, Water, More, Bath... I really need to work on this a lot more though, as she understands this very quickly!

She goes to care one day a week and really enjoys it for the most part. The realisation that mamma is going is a bit of a problem, but 2 mins later she is happy as larry singing away (I can hear her upstairs, so I know she is only upset for a moment). I am working a little at the moment, so Tiny Steps is a bit of a necessity - also sanity saving. I *need* some time out from her because I sometimes feel I have trouble coping... I suffocate a little and it is not good for her.

She is so beautiful though. Runs like there is no tomorrow. Has decided that her stroller is a magic ride (and now has a mini one for her that esmerelda gets pushed around in!) She also has a sling that Rainbow Bright gets carried in hahaha.

She has decided to be a bit of a snuggle bunny which is very funny as she was never one in the early days to cuddle... but now, she has key moments. Especially if you say to her "Shoulder!" she lays her head on your shoulder!

She adores dancing and beats and rhythem, and probably has more than ally and I put together. She twirls, and bops and bounces and grooves like a pro.. (well, a young pro hahaha!) I love watching her dance and bop. It is so funny and precious.

I cannot wait until she starts talking. It will be amazing.

She has finally had a growth spurt and has shot up in height, though is still considerably smaller than many her age... she is 9.4kgs too... nice and petite...

Oh! and singing. She loves singing. She has so much fun doing the actions to Incy Wincy Spider and Twinkle Twinkle and round and round the garden...

it is wonderful!

Anyways... onto wedding stuff...

Photographer is booked and deposit paid! www.anjellaroessler.com I cannot recommend her highly enough!!! I am pimping her name out around the district where she lives. I think she is going to be perfect for us.

I have come up with some wonderful ideas for the ceremony. I really need to write them all down... I just keep forgetting. Latest dilemma is how important will seating be at the ceremony... Ally says not important - guests can stand. I say it is very important, guests will be standing for the time before the ceremony, for the 20-30 mins of the ceremony, then socialising after... is that too long?? besides, seating looks pretty... though the seating I want might be too expensive ($3.50 per chair) and I need 50... argh?! besides, if we set up the location, we need someone to "babysit it" so noone takes it upon themselves to ruin it while we get ready...

I made some money to buy my new dress, only to spend it on other stuff... but I am working at ISYS at the moment, so I should have some extra funds. I just need some more logos to sell... :) I put my price up and it has deterred some people, but others have not blinked. I was too cheap before and loosing lots of money after lots of changes were being made...

Oooh. I just had a great idea for gifts for people... and really cheap. Mental/personal note: beaded bookmark as placecard/photo holder... might work!

I think I am going to make a lovely ceremony that people in the district will not have experienced before... (though many city brides and anyone who has a magazine) has probably seen before... but It'll be special!!

Ruby is coming to visit! so I get to talk bridal stuff with her too! wheeeee!!

Anyways, the girl requires my attention. Will hopefully post some pics soon. Much Love
