Early August

When we got back from our road trip, it was time to start Sienna on her solids. Here she is trying her first taste of baby rice. Normally babies sleep better when they start on solids, but the opposite was true of C. She is still waking about 4 to 5 times a night (only for a minute or so), which is an absolute delight now semester is in full swing.
Our local town, Hamilton, had an Explore Day for all the local kids to meet all the service force professionals in the area, and to have a play in all their vehicles. Here Jess is in a police ambulance, and is listening intently to the dangers alcohol and drug abuse...just kidding.
Here's Jess' friend Hayley, who Jess loves playing with as Hayley is 7 and enjoys dressing Jess up and applying make up on her.
C at 5 months. The hood hides it, but her hair started rapidly falling out in August. She now appears to be a chameleon, as it's changed from red to brown to blonde hairs coming through a fortnight ago, and then just this last week to have gone 'mousey brown'. My elder sister Ruth is convinced she will go blonde just like her daughter Mabel did (in a similar process). I bet that she wouldn't, and it looks like C might have come good for me in this regard this last week. When we visit England in Christmas we should have a better idea of who won the bet. The loser has to eat an earthworm, which is worse for Ruth as she is a vegetarian.

Sienna's first mouthful of solids.
