Random thoughts of Perth

N is better around more people than less. She is intensely social. Whilst still cranky Miss N, she found time to make friends with everyone who entered mum and dad's house, except my dad, who she remained a bit distant from unless it involved the pool, when she was his best friend/pool buddy.

She's an energizer bunny. See video in next post, but her energy for jumping is endless. She's got excellent calves. For jumping running and kicking (us).

N seems to know whenever I am asleep. She becomes some sort of guided missile, determined to wake me by sitting on my head.

Babies are close to indestructible. During aforementioned ice storm, N was jumping on the bed, landed awkwardly, hit her head on a book shelf and got an egg (really, an egg) bump on the back of her head. Intense (seriously intense) crying, howling, whimpering, I was despatched to pharmacy for Panadol and left with a sickening thought, she needs to go to hospital, she's cracked her skull, massive internal bleeding.

Come home, she's asleep, awoken to give aforementioned Panadol, less intense howling, we ring Emergeny who ask a few questions, like is she conscious, moving freely, bleeding. A few minutes of questioning, the nurse asks - ok, what's she doing now - she's smiling and laughing. Right. Ok nice nurse at PMH, we probably won't be bringing her in as she also demanding chilli noodles.

Her vocabulary, especially hindi improved. Her Australian accent is coming to the fore (ask her to say Yay!).

Our apologies to Benita and Andrew and Toby and Shelley and lots of other people. We were car-less for long periods and unable to meet. But we hope all is well.
