Happy New Year!

Hooray!

We rang in the new year with some friends, another baby, some under-5s and an extra puppy. We had barbecue, I cooked oven-foiled potatoes for the first time, and we played a board/card/party game. It was nice and subdued.

2012 is going to be a big year for us. Not quite as big as last year, but this time next year it is most likely that we will have a walking, talking child. With teeth and hair. Who will have more of an opinion. Who will have crawled and rolled a lot and sat up by herself. Who will have celebrated her first birthday. Who will potentially have spent some time in the care of someone other than a family member or close friend. Who will no longer be breastfed and who will be on grown up food. She will have things she likes and doesn't like. She will hopefully have gone in a swimming pool and/or the ocean. We may have gone interstate. She could have favourite tv shows and outfits. She will be able to play with toys. She will call me mum.

I will be returning to work in some form or another. The husband may be shuffling his work hours around to spend a day with his daughter. My dad will be spending more one-on-one time with her.

The husband and I will turn 30.

My youngest brother will be getting married, as will a few more sets of our friends.

Let's see what this year brings....!
