Blogmas Day 19: Learning to Talk!

Today was the day that Emilia found her voice!  I'm not even joking...I call it "talking" but of course she hasn't said any real words yet, it's more a mixture of coos and gurgles.  It's so cute!  It first started with her making cooing noises while feeding which I thought was adorable.  Then my family came over and she decided to join in the conversation.  She started babbling like there was no tomorrow - but as soon as we all stopped talking she was silent!  Then we realised she tended to "talk" more when everybody else was doing it...what a sweetie pie, she wanted to be part of the fun! :)

Her outfit today is a mixture of different brands - the leggings are from Baby Gap, socks are from Zara, hair bow is Layniebug Designs and the Aristocats top I bought on sale from Tesco for about €4!  Poor baby scratched herself on the face with her nails while we were in the car yesterday :(  I was so sad for her when I saw it, it looked really bad too and was bleeding!  She didn't seem upset or bothered by it though and didn't cry so I guess it's okay.  I don't like putting her hands in mittens because she loves to suck on them and I hate to take that feeling away from her!  

Here I am surrounded by my flock of sheep little white pups relaxing on the couch after our guests came to visit!  My uncle, cousin, grandmother and mom came over for tea & coffee this afternoon.  I tried to get a good picture of the four generations but I look like a frazzled mess in the shot so I'm not posting it - ha ha ha!  I will try to get another (nicer) one tomorrow!

This is what Jonathan cooked for dinner tonight - chicken Thai Green Curry!  Yum!  Usually we have this on Monday nights while watching Dexter...I don't know why or how that happened, it just sort of became a tradition!  This week we broke the tradition and now Dexter's over, boo hoo! :(  That has remained my favourite TV show since we first got into it 4/5 years ago!  Though I don't understand how it is that I find Michael C. Hall so ordinary in "real life" (whenever I see him on the red carpet, at events or playing different roles) but yet as Dexter I can't help but find him really attractive!  Does anybody else feel this way?!  Maybe that means he's a great actor, right?   

So in love with my little princess...possibly even more so now that she's started "talking"!  I love listening to the sound of her babbling voice.  She was having so much fun finding her voice that she even let out a huge belly laugh while in the middle of feeding this evening...nearly scared me half to death!!  There's nothing like a good old chuckle when you've got a mouthful of boob...ha ha ha!

Night night from the two of us!
