Smiles

Some more photos trying to catch smiles.

Boating!!

We took our boat out again today, despite it being very windy it was a great day out. Annabelle and Matilda thought the day was fantastic. We were lucky enough to see a stingray too.

Photos:

The girls sitting in the drivers chair - and very excited about it. Matilda is in the yellow shirt.

The girls looking over the edge to see if they could find anything in the water.

Olivia, fast asleep. Which is all she did for the whole trip. She tried to wake up once or twice but couldnt compete with the rocking of the boat and just kept going back to sleep.

1. Again, Matilda being the little mum - really role playing here too. I had told her what the mobile/play gym was to be used for and the next time I turned around she had her 'baby' and 'dolly' as you can see in the photo. So amazing what goes on in their little minds and how they can put things together.

2. The start of a smile!! Olivia is smiling already, but it is very tricky to catch on camera. She has the most adorable smile though.

3. The girls 'exploring' and gathering flowers and odd bits around Grandma's garden.

4. Olivia sleeping peacefully. She still has all her hair, it has lightened a little but so far hasnt started to fall out.

September 2009

Its been a huge month, with Olivia arriving and all the girls and I heading to Canberra for a week at the end of September. But we are all going really well, Olivia has settled in really well and the girls are fantastic with her. She is a very easy little baby, and I think, being the second time around I am much more relaxed which helps. Last time I weighed Olivia she had put on about 1/2 a kilo, but I think she has put on more again as her cheeks are getting chubbier!

1. Annabelle showing what she thought of some passionfruit she was eating

2. Both girls eating the passionfruit, again, Annabelle not so sure but Matilda enjoying it.

3. Olivia fast asleep on Granpa's shoulder

4. Matilda fast asleep in bed with 'her baby'. She is very much the little mum - always checking up on Annabelle, getting worried when Olivia cries and carrying around her baby who must be 'wrapped up mummy' (except in the above photo) all the time.
