3 months old!

It's been a big week.

Naia greets each morning with a smile now. What will the day bring?

She's learned to hold her toys and shake shake shake :).

 

She made her first visit to a sailboat. It was too windy for time on deck, but she loved being down below. We think the gentle motion was soothing for her. This is good news for her sailor parents! (Thanks Sunny and Devon!)

She spent a lot of time practising being just plain cute (especially in her gorgeous new knitted hat!).

 

And then she celebrated turning 13 weeks old by surprising Mum with a new trick.

It was all rather exhausting. Thank goodness for naptime with Daddy.

A new blog for our baby girl

We want to share photos and videos of our baby Naia Bean, especially for those of you that don't get to see her every day. She's changing so quickly! So, to start things off, here are a few videos that we took early on.

Five weeks old and sleeping peacefully (this may not seem that exciting, but if you know how much time we spend trying to convince Naia to sleep during the day, you'll appreciate this video's stillness and peacefulness!)...

The next day, wide awake and playing with her "cats"...this has been her favourite toy from the moment she first saw it.

Seven weeks old, and our baby girl (whose name means "dolphin") loves being in the water.

For some reason, we didn't take any videos for a few weeks, but here's the latest from just a few days ago. Sorry it's so long...I need to learn how to edit videos down! We have lots of fun at playtime 😊.

We'll post more videos (and photos) whenever we get the chance (i.e. when Naia lets us!).

PS Mike suggested I explain "bean". Naia's nickname when I was pregnant was "Bubsie", but when Mike saw her on the first ultrasound scan, he said she looked like a bean. The name stuck. At first she was Bubsie Bean, and that has morphed into Naia Bean since she was born :).
