First Ever Sweetie!






I went and found some nice gluten free marshmallows for Evie to chomp on, or suck might be more appropriate. I can't believe how long it takes to eat something so small! She enjoyed them anyway - we were feeling nostalgic about Christmas at the time! Ah hah but it is when we celebrate mid-winter Christmas here so maybe we aren't so stupid!?? I'll just shut up then ...

avocado features





I gave Evie some avocado on a biscuit and she had heaps of fun licking it off and getting a real sticky mess! I think she must know that avocado oil is good for the skin!

And through the tunnel...

Evie is really on the move now and if she thinks she is missing out on anything interesting she just follows the sound of our voices!

Standing up!

Another milestone today, Evie was able to stand at her table. I still had a cushion behind her in case she fell but we didn't need it. Clever girl!

Swinger!



We went to the park with Kenny again today. She always gets excited on the swings and these are perfect photos for showing off her lovely teeth! She thought the swings were hilarious today because Kenny went on a swing beside her- it isn't funny when I do it for some reason! (Daddy's Girl!)

Biscuit Time






I've started going to a group of Mums which meets in Rangiora for mothers who have children with allergies. They put me onto this biscuit which is perfect for Evie and she loves them. For boring sounding biscuits they taste great, no egg, no gluten, no peanut...

On the move




Evie started crawling a few weeks ago now but she is getting quite quick and is moving from room to room.

Evie has just spotted the blinds in this photo as I kicked them with my foot. She is now going to demonstrate why we are buying curtains for the living room (as well as the obvious reason that curtains will be warmer)!

(At last a photo where you can see Evie's top tooth-but you have to look carefully!)


Evie loves playing with the blinds. Kenny had to remove the beading that joined them together around the bottom. He was worried that she would crawl through them and get tangled whereas I was worried that she would chew the beads off.
She looks like she is in a car wash when she plays with them!

Dinner out

We went out for dinner with Mum and Doug to Brew House in Rangiora. Evie always eats really large meals there. I took more than I thought she would eat as well as dessert and she ate the lot! Nan fed her of course, when she is around Kenny and I don't get a look in - we don't complain!

Oot an'aboot!

Just heading out up the street with Dadda.

A Big Girl Now!

We sometimes put Evie in the big bath now and she loves it. Same old toys though! Same old Mum too because I sometimes have a bath with her which is fun. It has the potential to be relaxing but I usually get climbed all over.

First Trip to the Beach



Today was a public holiday so we decided to go to Waikuku Beach with Evie. She was a little tired when we got there but as soon as she saw the waves she got excited.

Mummy's turn for cuddles!



Back to Daddy then off home.

Hair wash night


Evie loves water dripping down her forehead but she isn't too keen on actually getting her hair washed. She pulls herself up holding on to the sides of the bath now and loves to kneel there talking to Kenny while he sits there with her. It's the highlight of Kenny's day! (I am under no illusion that the highlight is coming home to me!)

Visit from Moana



Mum was looking after Evie today while I was at work and she had Moana over as well. Evie slept for 2 hours in the middle of the day so Nan put on "Monster's Inc" for Moana and Evie watched the end of it with her sitting on Moana's knee.
