Goldfish & Justin's Birthday


Last weekend I had a very busy social calender, first up I popped into my cousin Justin's birthday party, he had a Boot Camp party, they all looked like they were having lots of fun running around and doing obstacle courses. I just sat down and watched, sipping on some juice, like a lady.
Then on the Sunday i went to my first ever concert, it was Goldfish at Kirstenbosch for my Uncle Craig's birthday. It was a surprise for him, and there were lots of people there, I had a great time dancing around and shaking my tush, here you can see me with Aunty Kim and Uncle Mark, rocking out, what fun.

Swimming Lessons with Papa


Every Tuesday I get taken by Nana and Papa to a swimming pool, where Aunty Marlene teaches swimming to tots. I go into the water with Papa, and we do all kind of exercises and sing songs.


We are taught how to enter the pool properly, sliding in on our tum tum, and then get taught a lot to float on our back comfortably. 


We also get to sit on a big floating mat and play with some balls together, and then on the count of three we jump off and Papa catches me. It is lots of fun and I love going there with Papa, thanks Papa Andre ! 

Feeding myself and being a general mess !


I have also learned how to hold a spoon, or fork in the hand and thrown food into my mouth, and onto my face and everywhere else in a 2m radius. At the moment I usually just do it with yogurt, which is my desert, but i am pretty sure i could spoon most of my delicious food into my gob. 


On the food subject, my favorite at the moment is fish/butternut/sweet potato/, but I am also partial to chicken/spinach/sweet potato/couscous, I like a strong flavors I do


Peek-A-Boo !


That is all.....

Walking


Hi....I am back, sorry it has been so long, but we have been moving house, and living all over the place, and our life is finally back to normal ( ish ). In the past few weeks, I have realized that there is more to life than crawling around, there is another world up there. So i have gone from crawling, to standing, to cruising ( walking holding onto the table ) to full blown WALKING !! 
At the moment my record is 9 steps, but i think by next week, my 1st Birthday, I shall be walking no prob. This opens up a whole new world of pain for my lovely parents, as I am now able to reach things i could never see before, and once I am fully walking, there will be no stopping me causing havoc as I walk around. Be prepared parents !
