Guess who rolled over for the first time today?

I had you on your play mat laying on your back and when I stepped back in the room you were on your side and trying to throw yourself over onto your belly. When you finally got there, you were less than impressed!

Today your dad got to take you swimming for the first time! I think he loved it almost as much as you did. Its nice that the swimming people let dads go with the babies!

Happy Valentines Day my beautiful! You may have noticed it has been a while since I wrote in your diary. This is because you are starting to get more interactive and we tend to do more things during the day. So most of the time I run out of time to write for you but I plan on making notes of your significant events.

Today, we went swimming for the first time - you LOVED it. Unfortunately, I didn't take my camera - but I will next week. We go swimming at the St John of God Physio Pool - that's where you used to live when you were a bubby!

After your big day, you were all tuckered out and when you finally fell asleep, you were so cute!

WOW - 100 days old baby! So hard to believe.. you have come so far and we are so in love with you! Dad often says how you are the best baby in the world - I tell him he's biased, but he's allowed to be!

You are growing us so fast - I don't like it - people always say babies grow up so fast but it's not until you experience it for yourself that you understand. I'm glad that I have been keeping this record of your life so far so that in a few years time we can look back on it and remember how teeny tiny you were and how amazing it was to have you join the family!

Today we went to mother's group again. You unfortunately seem to be jet lagged from our return home yesterday and you slept through the whole thing! Apart from that we had a rather uneventful day - you are a bit cranky and in need of returning to your routines.

We had a big day today - we were up at 5.30 am so that you could have a feed and I could get our things organised for the airport. Today you went on your second flight - from Adelaide to Melbourne. Once we arriver in Melbourne we had to catch a bus to Geelong. Nana and Grandpa Evans live in Geelong and we came all this way so that you could meet them. Grandpa is sick - he has lung cancer so I wanted you to get a chance to meet him - also, I wanted him to have a chance to meet you. Both Nana and Grandpa were very pleased to meet you - Nana has not stopped cuddling you since we got home this afternoon - I think you are going to be spoilt rotten over the next week and a half!

On another note, you moved from new born nappies to infant nappies today - it's hard to believe that when you were born we had to fold the newborn nappies in half because they were too big for you and now they are too small for you!

Today, we went to a place called Gumeracha to see the world's biggest rocking horse. There is a toy factory at the same place and while we were there I got you a growth chart - so now you will always know where we got that!

After that we went to Maggie Beers Farmshop in the Barossa Valley for lunch. Maggie Beer is a famous cook in Australia. She always makes really yummy cakes and hearty meals - definately one of dad and my favourites - so I thought we should make the journey to visit her. I am so glad we did - it was just amazing! So very delicious! Once again Michelle spent the day snuggling with you - everyone thought you were her baby - people kept asking her how old you were and all sorts of questions - it was very funny!
