Sixth one.....

NOVEMBER 2012

OK...where did the time go?  Henry is now 6 months of age and beginning solids.  We've had a bit of an issue with his weight gain (he is only 5.4kg) which the specialists tell me is related to his bad eczema.  The solids were expected to help with increased weight gain, however he took a long time to get the hang of eating off a spoon - much longer than any of the others - and weight gain continues to be an issue.

Biddy's kinder hold their end of ear trip at the the Cobden Miniature Railway.  The kids travel by train to Camperdown and then by bus to Codben. They love it.  This is Biddy and some of her friends on one of the tiny trains.

 As most are aware Biddy's birthday is on Christmas day, so as a result, we always bring her party and celebration forward a whole month to the last weekend in November.  This year, she wanted a Princess party which delighted Bella no end!  This was the cake I made (super simple...just swiss rolls covered in icing).

The King and Queen!

At kinder, they don't have birthday cake, but they do have fairy bread which the birthday child makes assisted by some chosen friends.  They also get to wear the birthday hat and pass around the fairy bread.
