First Family Photo Shoot

On Saturday Mom and Dad had a surprise for me, we were heading off to our very first family photo shoot. We headed off to Noordhoek to Brenda's house. Brenda is a basically family, and she runs Hearts in a Shutter photography.

We picked up Gran Gran on the way, because mom thought it would be nice to have photos of me and Gran Gran to give her for her birthday.

We arrived for our shoot and were whisked around the house and the garden, the whole time Brenda was clicking away. Dad often stood behind Brenda holding Mew Mew, my favorite toy, and was also being silly, so I ended up smiling and laughing all the time.

It was such a fantastic day, I really enjoyed it and think I gave it my best. After the shoot we went to Cafe Roux for lunch, it was so nice, busy and lively, my first time there and i enjoyed it.

 For some more photos of the shoot, head on over ( HERE ) to Brenda's website.

Lunch at Nana and Papa

Last weekend, the weather was lovely and we went off to Nana and Papa's house for lunch. Everyone loved the lunch, Nana's awesome tuna lasagna, and i got to spend lots of time with all my family. I also got to wear my new Hello Kitty hat which I love !!

I spent some time on the lawn, under the umbrella, playing with my cousins Justin and Liam, they are very funny and i love to pull their hair, it makes me laugh. 

Uncle Craig was also there, and we looked around the garden together, having a peek at all the lovely flowers and plants in Nana's garden.

Gran Gran and Auntie Misty played with me at the lunch table , where i sat and watched everyone enjoy the lovely lunch.What a fantastic day that was.

My 5 month Birthday today

Today is my 5 month birthday, 5 months since I entered this world, wow, what a ride so far. I celebrated by waking up at 5am, instead of my usual 4am, just to treat my parents, how lucky for them. 

Dad has continued to take me to for our regular Saturday outing, strapping me into my papoose and heading off to the Biscuit Mill, last Saturday we went into a really cool shop called Clockwork Orange in the Mill, it is a retro shop, with loads of cool stuff in it. 

After my bath, Dad wraps me in a towel, with a funny hood on it, keeps my noggin warm  after I exit my bath, I love it, and also looking at myself in the mirror afterward, its hilarious !

Some Outfits, smiles and general fun

Had a little day out the other day and decided it was perfect weather for my denim skirt. Underneath this, I wore my Hello Kitty vest and some rather fetching leggings. It was a killer outfit and got a lot of comments in the mall, where mom bought me a whole lot more Hello Kitty outfits, cant wait to wear them.

Sometimes when I am just chilling, Dad whips out the camera to take photos of me, these can sometimes be great shots, but am sure most of them end up in the recycle bin. 

I am also proud to announce that I have passed yet another milestone, when I lie on my tummy, I can lift myself up, and hold my head steady for quite a while. Awesome, I am also rolling over now, listening to voices and turning my head, and am almost sitting up by myself.

Teething

Something is going down that has me a little concerned. Apparently my teeth are starting to break on through, cutting through my gums, sounds like fun? Its not. Looks like this goes on for a while also, it never ends I tell you, just finish with the colic vibe, now this.

So anything goes in my mouth now, anything I can chew on for a bit to sooth my aching gums. My favorite at the moment is Heffalump, his trunk is awesome to chew on, in the bath I like to munch on Sally Starfish and Allen the Alligator, so nice. Lets hope this teething thing does not last to long. 

Me and my new Book

I have a book, that is a whole 8 pages long, and a very intense read, every page is filled with bright colours and things to touch and hold with different textures . It is crazy and makes me laugh a lot, there is a dragonfly on one page with wings that scrunch when you hold them, it is crazy, what a sensation, I love sitting up and reading my fantastic book. 

My Hey Cavey

A surprise came in the post, all the way from England, a Hey Cavey for me. He is the cutest little fellow, and now joins me on most of my adventures, I like him to be with me all the time, he stands very easily next me even when I am lying down, what a champ. I think I must ask dad to order me some more, so I can fill my crib with them, they make me very happy. 

Fathers Day

Last Sunday was Fathers Day, my Papi's first one, we went to the Cape Point Vineyards for a picnic lunch. It was brilliant, we all went down to the tasting room, picked up our baskets filled with yummy food, bought some wine, and then made our way up to the picnic site. 

Everyone was there, all my family and friends, Aunties, Uncles, Nana'a, Papa's and cousins. I had a great time lying around in my pram, and then spent time being held by Aunty Heidi and Aunty Melissa, it was awesome.

For Fathers Day, I got Papi some fantastic PJ's, I had noticed the ones he was wearing around the house at night were looking a bit worn, so I got him a new pair, he said they were very comfy, I think he loved them. 

My Crib

Here is a little tour of my crib in my nursery. This is where I spend a good part of my day, sleeping, boy o boy do I love to sleep. 

It has a whole assortment of plush toys in it to keep me company, my favorite at the moment is the Nag Apie, with his huge eyes, he is hilarious and makes me laugh. My crib also has lovely netting around it, so in the summer time, none of those pesky mosquito's can munch on me. I love it in my crib, what a comfy place.

Mom and Me

Every day my mom and me get to spend time together, and it is the best ever, we sing, and play and I love her the most, it is going to be quite a sad day when she has to go back to work, but until then I will make every moment count with her, because she is the best !
