10 Months

After dad spent all easter weekend painting the house a nice spa at the end of the day soaks it all away

Fun in the bath!

Down to see the gee-gee's

The padock down the road has a few horses in it now, so we went down for a walk to feed them some apples and carrots.

Brushing teeth with mum :)

9 Months

Wow, it is all go now. With crawling she is now mobile and that has led to all sorts of new adventures. Nana has been shopping and has brought her a bike and slide to our amazement she can get around on the bike and shimmy down the slide. Another of her favorite toys is Tom’s old rocking horse.

Crawl

8 Mths and moving all around the cot

opening drawers

This week she has figured out how to open her toy drawer and kneel using the drawer for balance. She has increased her vocabulary from just 'ba' sound to inclued 'da'.

7 1/2 months

Belle is just about crawling, she can't quite get her right leg to move. You can see in the below photo that no teeth have come through yet but if you look closely you will be able to see they are on their way.

Most days were so hot we had to spend the middle parts of the day in the pool, Annabelle wasn't so sure about the pool, but loved playing in her blow up crab beside the pool.

Wiatangi weekend camping in Otaki

Family trip to (br)O-Taki the carver clan tripped up, first camping trip for Annie, time to break in the new tent too.

Trip to the beach

Will be harder when Annie is mobile then she'll be cranking arrround in the water with all the big kids! For now just happy watching everyone else, taking it all in.
