DAY 12. DADDY TIME.

So the little one has been out and about all day. 

When she came back she was a little distressed.

 So we found a position where she felt comfortable.

 Even though she had the hic-ups.

 She flamed down sooner or later.

 And she was happy-ish.

 Who's that.

Now what are we going to do?

DAY 11. CHILLIN'

 The day began with me minding her while Claire put the kettle on (the closed eyes are for the camera - no children were put at risk during the taking of this photo).

Then a shot for the fans.

 Then into the swing chair (moments laters Isabella pooed all over the chair).

 Later in the day, chill in' with her old man.

 She looks well impressed.

 A kiss on the nose.

 What was that?

 Pretty in pink.

 And later on (after another costume change) she's full of smiles. A lovely day.

DAY 10: MONDAY MADNESS

 It was a bit of a mission to get out of the flat but when we finally got out we went for a lovely lunch.

with a cool bookcase.

 Meanwhile......

 When we got home, our little angel wanted a sleep.

But first she needed a bath. Which she enjoyed - honest.

DAY 9. A FEW LOVELY VISITORS.

First visitors were Scotty Terri and Evie.

 Evie wanted to meet Isalbella.

Evies so grown up now.

Scotty sporting the Garage Sale Trail headwear.

 

Next were the Cheatham's.

 Simon, Em, Frankie and Lando.

 Then Michelle and Thomas joined the the party.

Then Cleo

And the bearded wonder that is Tucker turned up.

 

And last but not least Gibbo and Katie.

 Gibbo using all his charm, but Isabella doesn't seem bothered.

It was a great day.  But it's all too much for Isabella as she curls up like a Koala Bear in a tree. Ahhhhh.

DAY 8: BATH TIME.

 Claire and Isabella decided to have a bath together.

 One of them is far more relaxed than the other.

 Proper coma time.

Is she going to stay asleep?

DAY 8. BIG DAY OUT.

So it's Day 8 and Des and Carole are going to take a boat trip to spot whales. So we thought it might be a good day out for Isabella too.

 So off on the bus we go - down to Circular Quay.

A Wilki family outing.

Which way are we going?

 Three generations of Wilki's and The Opera house.

 So we went off to the botanical gardens.

 Beautiful trees and birds.

 There they are.

 The happy ladies.

 Ahhh beautiful

 My turm. Isabella's not happy.

 No she's not.

Coooool Cockatooooo's.

 Eating away.

Is she going to sleep.

Mummy is.

ISABELLA'S WEEK OLD BIRTHDAY.

this photo was taken at exactly 11.46 a week after Isabella's birth.
A week is a long time in parenthood.

 Chatting to Aunty Sheila.

11.46 on the dot.
