6 Months

There has to have been a mistake somehwere, perhaps I counted a month twice, either way my sweet little princess simply cannot be 6 months old???!!!

How did I go from being the proud as punch new mum to a precious newborn to being the still proud as punch mum of a 6 month old baby girl?!

It simply cannot be. I guess I just have to accept that it is, and that my baby girl is growing and changing so much, every day, right before my very eyes.

I am still desperately seeking that pause button, the days, weeks and indeed months are flying by at a rapid rate, I just cannot keep up with them.

Unfortunately Lily's 6 month birthday was not the celebration I was hoping for. Nothing happened the day just wasn't as I had planned and envisioned for the past 6 months.

Cameron and my Papa left at 6:00am on Saturday morning to drive to Victoria for Cameron to buy an old Ford ute that he is going to restore.

Cameron has been wanting to do this since we got together, so I am very happy for him that that dream is now becoming a reality.

I am happy to support him in anyway that I can, just as he has supported my passion for horses.

Lily and I spent the day doing some mundane running around and had a quiet night in together.

I awoke early on Sunday morning to feed Lily and phoned to see where they were, they were a couple of hours from home. I decided to stay up and make them a yummy cooked breakfast, they had been driving non stop for 24 hours so I was sure this would be well received, which it was.

I decided that today would be the day to celebrate Lily's 6 month milestone, and organised to go to our favourite cafe for lunch.
This is what I absolutely love about my family, one im-promptu phonecall early on a Sunday morning, and they all accomodate within their schedules to come and celebrate this milestone with us. This means oh so much to me, and I am incredibly lucky to be blessed with such a family.

My brother is the biggest motorsport fan I know, and he even gave up watching the Clipsal 500 main race to come for lunch, Lily is one very privileged little lady! Not in photo below he wore his Ford shirt to lunch.

It was a lovely day, and Lily was so sweet as to have a nap in her pram when lunch was served, it was lovely to be able to share a meal with those that I love and talk about the most amazing 6 months thus far of my life. Thankyou so much my sweet princess, you mean more to mummy and daddy than we could ever put into words.

So the day started with some special cuddles with Mummy.

Then we went and met Daddy's new car. Here is Lily and I discussing what on earth Daddy gone and done! Apparently it was a bargain and has a lot of potential. *gasp*

Then we went out for lunch, where Lily was spoilt with many cuddles and much adoration. This is something that isn't spared for special occasions, this happens all the time! What a lucky, lucky little girl. Mind you I think we are all the lucky ones to have such a gorgeous little girl to lavish our love and affection one.

Above, finally a photo of the 4 generations.

A quick cuddle from Mum, and Lily was off to sleep.

Where we then all had a lovely meal. Lily was a little perplexed when she awoke to find that we had all been eating, the empty plates were the evidence, and that she had missed out!

All in all we had a lovely day, and I am ever so grateful, as I am every day that my life has been forever enriched with the arrival of my precious daughter. Lily Lorraine you truly are the light of my life.
