A wander in the park

Naia took her first step at the end of November. On Boxing Day she took two steps. By the end of December she was up to three or four. She took her time with the walking thing! (I suppose when you are a crawling speed demon, there isn't much incentive.) Well, the last couple of weeks she has finally found her feet, if you will. We took her to Long Bay park for fish and chips tonight and she loved having a wander around!

Some notes:
1. It was super windy...she gives a little shriek because the wind almost knocks her over, which is very funny of course :).
2. That is a little pottle of blueberries in her hand. Her current food obsession.
3. Her bottom looks extra cushy because she is wearing one of her padded cloth nappies (diapers). These are great protection for hard landings!
4. Towards the end of the video you can see a picnic party off to the right. That was where she started, and she is probably 60% of her way back. She walked a long way!
5. I stopped the camera too soon...right after she sat down she gave herself some applause for her effort.
6. Sorry about the quality of the video...it's from my phone.

Hugs to you all! We have a rather important occasion coming up this week. Will post photos shortly thereafter.

Summer and Naia's first Christmas

December was amazing. Naia had heaps of fun. She celebrated her first Christmas, she played, giggled, and splashed, and she had both mummy and daddy at home for two weeks all to herself. Here's a month (-ish) in photos.

The bliss that is swings and bubbles at the same time...
