We had Dakota's christening on Sunday, it was a bit cold but otherwise it was a great day, she looked gorgeous in my christening gown. Kira looked absolutely stunning in a pink dress as well. Now we just have to make the effort to go to church.

Dakota is spending her first night in her own room, it's exciting for me because everytime I went to bed I would wake her up and she was starting to wake around 3am which leads me to believe that someone's snoring may have been waking her up. The only problem I have with her sleeping in her own room is that she sleeps face first on the mattress which concerns me as cot death is common in 6 month olds. I know I can't worry about this all the time. I just have to trust God.

Dakota is now 5 months old and sleeping from 7pm to 7am which means I get to go to bed early for once, I had to wait up for her to have a feed anywhere between 10.30 and 11pm which meant I could never go to sleep early so now I'm in bed before 9.30 just so I can catch up on some sleep.

Kira has a new party trick, she can bend her big toe in a way that is almost like she's jerking it out of it's socket, I think this is double jointedness. Either way it's a gift for a 3 year old to have and it's cute that she likes to show off.

I am missing Felix terribly, I'm very confused as to why he died.....maybe I'll consult a psychic to find out why.

today has been a sad day, my cat Felix passed away. I am extremely upset and feeling guilty as I hadn't noticed he was missing straight away. He had been dead for several days right under our noses. My wonderful husband helped me to bury him which was quite emotional for both of us. He was quite upset but is also very proud and a little embarrassed I think and wouldn't let me grieve with him which I found a bit hard to bear.........I really needed his support as well. I'm not blaming him though, we all deal with things differently....I just wish he could have given me a hug.
Now, my dillemma is what do I tell my 3yo? Do we tell her the truth that he died or do we tell her he went to live with the angels in heaven? Do we tell her where he has been buried? I don't know what to do, I don't want to scare her but I don't want to lie to her either. She hasn't asked for him so maybe I won't mention it until she does.
If anyone reads this that can offer any advice as to how to handle this it would be greatly appreciated.

Good Morning, it's a great day...sun is shining I have 2 beautiful girls and I got my new teeth! It's a day for celebration. I can now smile and not worry what people are thinking of my discoloured teeth, it's a wonderful feeling.......this probably sounds strange to anyone that has always had nice teeth but until I got them done I didn't realise that I never smiled with my mouth open and when I talk to people I always only opened my mouth minimally. Didn't even realise until people I was talking to commented that I smiled more often and spoke with an open mouth. Sorry must go......my baby is crying. Until next time....enjoy what God gave us.

I started a diet on Monday and have already lost a kilo, this is great, I'm not feeling hungry and I have more energy. If I can lose 20kgs I'll be happy, even 15kgs will be enough. I am very big up top and have wanted a breast reduction for years. As I haven't finished having my family, I can't have a reduction as they may grow again. Even when I was a size 8 I was still big and now I've gained weight I am carrying alot of weight on my front. I look like I'm about to topple over. Oh well, one day it will happen.

Happy New Year to all! Just saw in the New Year, I was quite tired so only stayed up long enough to wish hubby a Happy New Year and then crawled into bed. We went around to a friends house to celebrate because today is the hottest day of the year and we don't have air conditioning, we needed to get out of the heat. They have a pool so we put the kids, my 3yo and her 3yo and 1yo in but not for long as my daughter had an accident in her pants not long after we got there so we had to clean out the pool.

Didn't do much just played a couple of board games and had a few drinks. Left their place around 10.30pm so I could give my 4 month old her bottle. Then we watched the fire works on T.V and the countdown to New Years. Another year over and a New one just begun. My New years resolution is to lose some weight, I started my diet yesterday which is a stupid thing to do as my friend had chips and dip on offer which I found hard to say no to. Oh well, I'll just start again today.

Best wishes to all and Happy New Year to everyone! Be Safe!
