April/May 2010

Bailey received a surprise package in the mail from Aunty Leonie which included a little Teddy Bear and a game for her DS. Sorry girls, Leonie is now the fav Aunty....
Erin and I went in the PAWS walk for the RSPCA. We walked with Nikki and her dogs Busta and Slade and also Tara with her dog Milly. I felt like the odd one out with only a baby and not a dog! This dog won the prize for most elegant dog. I'm not sure if you can see but he has a top hat and tails on!

One of the girls from my work left so I made a Chocolate Mousse cake (called a Choc Truffle cake in the book..). It was very rich and we could only eat a bite of it each. Even Georgia couldn't eat much more than a bite!

April/May 2010

Erin is laughing here because she is playing drop the food game, which she thinks is fun. She drops the food and I pick it up! Not fun for the Mum!
She is so cute, loves her cot and her lamby.

Now she can sit and she loves the key on the draw of the filing cabinet (which doubles as our coffee table), keeps her amused for hours!

Off and crawling now....

MMM food monster.

April/May 2010

Here Mark is busy eliminating the teal colour from our pool fence. He has successfully got rid of all the teal on the stairwells and verandah and is now attacking the pool fence. We are having the panels powdercoated a few at a time but the actual posts need to be hand painted. It's good to have Mark around for this......

Georgia went away on school camp. She shared a tent with her two besties Julia and Maddy. They had a fabulous time and Georgia even attempted the flying fox this year.
Bailey has been a great helper with Erin. Here she is insisting that she is big enough to carry Erin in the pouch. I did get a few strange looks from people who obviously thought I was enforcing child labour onto Bay Who!

Miss Erin, Born to Win!

Melbourne Holiday March 2010

As most of you are aware we went to visit Marks family in Melbourne and to have a little holiday camping down at Wilsons Promotory. We had glorious weather the whole time and did not look forward to coming home to the heat. Here is a snap shot look at our trip.....

Feeding Myself

This was Erins attempt at eating mashed potatoe! She didnt really like it at all!
Ahh, thats where they put my dummy!

Here Mark is giving Erin her first bottle, she took it well and we now try to give her one a day.

Erin is growing up very fast. She prefers to feed herself rather than be spoon fed. Foods to her liking are watermelon, pear, rusks, chicken bones and toast, although the girls comment that the floor gets most of the food not Erin!! Just so long as Bailey doesnt try to copy her....

Erin is six months old!!

Hello, Erin is now 6 months old and to celebrate we took her to Parap Pool with a couple of friends for a half year afternoon tea!

Big Sister Georgia took Erin down the slide - she loved it! She truly is a water baby.

Here she is doing it on her own, trying to impress her friends Ashlee and Caelen.

Kicking back, its fun to be 6 months old!

Is this the cutest naked baby ever? We love her being rudey and so stole off with her clothes!! She is almost crawling and is forever putting herself into the downward dog pilates move! She is one strong baby girl!

Lake Bennett

On Saturday 24th April we headed down to Lake Bennett for the Darwin Tri Club "Club champs"event. Mark had a good race and I teamed up (run loeg only) and also had a good run out there. While we were busy racing, the kids were cheering everyone on, helping with the water stations and as you can see here - up to no good!!

Bailey catching Cane Toads - Totally Gross!

Georgia being a great help with babysitting Erin. Georgia being our resident fashionista thought the flower was a nice touch for Erins outfit.

Well here is one member of Team 1 and the other is just a cute baby girl!

Isn't she so yummy?? And I must agree that the flower is a success!
