Holly likes:
- Lying on and (unfortunately) sucking on the sheepskin rug.
- Music by Mozart, Bach, Tchaikovsky, Billie Holiday, Bob Marley, Delerium, and Juno Reactor.
- Having her nappie* changed (she's the only baby I've ever met that does).
- Lying on mummy or daddy's chest.
- The bouncy chair. The thing has soothing vibrations that are supposed to put her to sleep, but are far more effective for making her do a poo.
- Kicking things.
- Having a bath.
- The sound of the dishwasher and vacuum cleaner.
- NHL Hockey playoffs - She's already a Canucks fan.
- Cuddles
- Being swaddled with her arms in. I've had to develop a "swaddle-from-the-armpits-down" way of wrapping her up.
- Trying to be fed on the breast :(
- The sound of crinkling paper.
- When mummy and daddy want to have dinner.
- Metal, Rap and music by the Gorillaz.
- The baby sling.
*This is the Aussie/British word for diaper.
I too enjoy kicking things lol.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the Macquarie Dictionary, it's actually "nappy" (plural "nappies"). "Nappie" is an alternate use of an American use of the word "nappy", which apparently means "a small dish, usually round and often of glass, with a flat bottom and sloping sides, for food, etc."
ReplyDeleteThe moral of the story is you've been away from Oz too long!
I found that Em never liked the cradle hold in the sling - she always wanted to be upright and then she would be fine. She would always fuss for a minute when being put in the sling but as soon as we started walking she's be fine... normally the babies will like something, it's just a matter of finding out *how* they like, like you've already found with the swaddling :-)
ReplyDeleteEm did like having her nappy changed too! Although now it's like a wrestling match/game of chasings.
Em likes having a bath and... pooing in the bath - combining 2 of her favourite things - has Holly done that to you yet?! Heaps of fun!
