Kate and Andrew Scott
News. Photos. Ramblings.
Welcome to our blog
Tailored for family and friends you'll find news and info about our recent activities plus photos and random ramblings!- Rolled over for the first time – see video. It was pretty amazing to witness the look of surprised shock on Harriet’s face as she realised that she’d moved on her own for the first time. She now flips over pretty much as soon as she’s put down, having finally worked out how to escape the dreaded tummy time.
- Gets bored when left for too long, sadly has yet to work out how to entertain herself
- Loves to sit up, thank goodness for bean bags
- Has a discovered that full volume gets the most attention (such as right now while I’m trying to finish this post!)
- Gets more remarkable, crazy and amazing with each passing month!
A marvelous month
While we were in Perth we also celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary, going out for dinner on the Monday night. We had a bit of trouble getting out the door, Harriet had had a big day of visiting Perth friends, but sitting on the banks of the Swan with our glass of champers and our nice meal gave us a great chance to reflect on what a massive year it’s been (yet again!). Big thanks to Rob and Donna who babysat Harriet that night, although in typical Harriet fashion she was fine once we left the house, showing-off in front of strangers as per usual!
We also went to see Slumdog Millionaire, just before the Oscars, leaving Harriet with Kate’s parents. We used to go to the movies at the drop of a hat, having dinner out beforehand and coffee afterwards. It was more of a military operation now, with a drive down to Mentone (and our kind babysitters), several bags of stuff for Harriet, as well as a picnic dinner for us, as there was no time to have dinner before the movie given Harriet’s bath and bedtime routine. But that said we had a lovely evening, even felt a bit like we did before the arrival of the gorgeous Miss H, footloose and fancy free. The movie was good, and it was great to be able to say we’d seen it once all the Oscars were announced.
Other February events include celebrations for Amelia’s 1st birthday; amazing to think that she’s one year old! And dinner with some of Andrew’s colleagues, the first time we’ve had dinner out at a non-family event since H arrived. Harriet has also had her first experience of childcare, sleeping through a 1 hour stay at the Ascot Vale pool creche, while Kate swam some laps and sat in the spa. We also did an exellent first aid course, and feel slightly more up-to-date on current best practises for children.
For Harriet watchers, February saw some amazing achievements:
