today is our anniversary of sorts - exactly a year ago we arrived here in Aus to start our 'new life'.
Amazing a year has gone already - best thing we ever did although miss friend and family left behind in the UK.
Dd1 was commando crawling when we left the UK - now she is walking with and without her walker.
Dd1 knew one makaton sign and no real words - now she knows probably over a hundred makaton signs and uses about half that - says 20 or so words.
Dd1 was still using bottles or bottle to cup trainer bottle - now is able to drink from cups using straws.
Dd1 was finger feeding but not self feeding - now feeds herself very nicely - that is only since the early part of this year.
Dd2 was a 17 week foetus. Now she is almost 7 months old and so scrumptious. She is rolling everywhere, grabbing for everything, has two teeth and adores her big sister.
Dh and I - a little older, more tired ( thanks to dd2) dh has a job he loves, I get to stay home with the dds, have a lifestyle we would not have been able to have in the UK.
Do you think it was a good decision
