Expanding my horizions!!

I have 2 followers! TWO! haha..I know that doesn't seem like a lot.. but this time last week.. I had none!


So.. in true Chantelle Style.. I am taking a huge plunge and putting myself out there! I've created a Facebook page.. you can check it out here; www.facebook.com/pages/AussieSuperNanny
Ive linked it in with my twitter and I am going to work out how to do all these awesome things to shoot my name all over the world! Well... eventually! A psychic said I was going to be famous with what I write and I figured that I should start somewhere!
So.. this week in a nutshell has been a SHOCKER! I keep hoping that it's Friday..but alas.. we are still only halfway through Thursday!
Monday was beyond shocking. I don't think ANYTHING could have made Monday better.. Smiley didn't sleep at all, which put her in THE most horrible mood.. There was a large chunk of the day where she was inconsolable!
She didn't want a bottle (still going strong with that) she didn't want anything to eat, she didn't want cuddles... She just wanted to cry.
So I did what every mummy/daddy/nanny does in a crying crisis.. I took her for a drive in the car!
Worked wonders... until we were back home! But by then it was dinner time and almost handover! 6o'clock could not have come quicker!
Tuesday was Smiley's birthday! Little Miss is finally 1! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SMILEY!!!! She had a lovely time at playgroup, as always and everyone sang 'Happy Birthday' while Smiley sat with a great big smile on her face! Mr C was at playgroup again and was his usual lovely self.
The last few weeks have been a bit strange between us (heartbreaking for me) as he is becoming adjusted to his new nanny and he wants her more then he wants me (which is how it should be... although you should tell my heart that! haha) and Smiley and Mr C have become quite cute together... possible marriage in the future? No! I'm saving him for Molly. :D
Wednesday was much better. We went for a walk around the shops (So that I could buy her a birthday present, as the one I originally had in mind, had a horrible accident!) and generally had a good morning. We came home for a sleep and everything was handy, dandy. Then Smiley woke up! Oh man.. it was like she was on some kind of emotional roller coaster! Between 3 and 5.. no amount of vodka would have saved my sanity!
Again, I took her for a drive until dinner time and she was fine (Very glad I am being reimbursed for petrol!)
And today is Thursday! Smiley was woken up this morning and so therefore was in a crappy mood before the day had even begun. I've asked MB and DB not to wake her up. She's only 1.. there is no reason why she should wake before she is ready. Frustrating for me, great for them.
Anywhoo, there is a sink full of dishes that need doing and some googling to be had.
Have a great week everyone! Be sure to drop me a line at aussiesupernanny@gmail.com if you'd like to chat!
Much love.

It's a BOTTLE BREAKTHROUGH!!

I said I would let you all know when Ms Smiley took a bottle.... and..

DRUMROLL PLEASE!!!!!

Yesterday 14/09/2011 Ms Smiley took a bottle without fighting me! Not only did she take it without fighting me.. it gets better! She drank from said bottle for the next hour.. all on her own!

76 long days in the making and she had a bottle! I was so very, very happy! It is however only babysteps.. (after all she is a baby!) and we are still working on it! I've offered her another bottle today, we shall see how she goes!

In other news:
1- Ms Smiley turns 1 next week! I am going to make sure that she has an extra special day. After all, you only ever turn one, once!

2- We are weaning. Hence the extra excitement at the bottle taking! MB is getting a little tired of being a dairy cow and would like to have some kind of life. She is also going overseas alot in the next few months and it wouldnt be fair to Ms Smiley if she was still feeding.

3- My biological father has had another baby. Well HE hasn't actually had one, because then I would definitely have heard about little Tegan long before she was 2 months old! I can't say I am surprised, however annoyed that no one told me, yep, that's an emotion I am feeling!

4- I'm going away this weekend to see my beautiful best mate 'Lollipop' who is also the amazing mummy of my 16 month old God-daughter! I am super, super excited! I miss them all soo much and I havent had a chance to go up and see them.. but now that they have added another beautiful little girl to their mix, I HAVE to get up there!

Everything else seems pretty handy, dandy in my little world! Off to Gymbaroo this morning (i'm not sure I will ever be able to get their songs out of my head now) and I hope you all have a fabulous day!!

Lots of love
