New Hat

This colourful beanie was made especially for Maya by a friend's sister, who has just been at a hat-making workshop in Alice Springs (Maya's head had been measured in advance!).

Hard to believe that Maya will be 12 weeks old this coming Friday. Last night she had a breakthrough as far as night-sleeping is concerned; she slept from 9.30pm to 4.30am without waking for a feed!! This may be a one-off, but I'm hoping it's not and will continue for a little while at least. Of course, I still managed to wake every 3 hours, out of habit, but somehow feel more rested today than I've felt in months.

We have also resumed work on our rammed earth house again, after quite a long break. While the walls and roof are done, there is still a lot to do, so we keep chipping away at it during the afternoons. We bring Maya's bouncing chair up there and she coos away happily or naps while we work - I think she likes her new home. We are hoping to move up the top of the hill sometime this year!
