All girls love shoes...

I like Mummy's shoes...
I like Indi's shoes...
Yep, I like Mummy's shoes...
When are you going to get me some of my own shoes??

The Park...

 

Reading...

Read...
Read...
Read???
The more you read, the more you know... so I'm doing lots of it. Although mummy didn't think that when I read the tissues it was very helpful! 

Peas please!!

Dear Grandma and Grandpa,
These photos are especially for you...
Mummy and Daddy gave me peas for dinner last night and I loved them. I ate them all up and had them for dinner tonight too.
Mummy thought you'd like some photographic evidence that at least in this way I don't follow after her!!
Love Natasha

PS I only dropped one or two, and that's cos they're hard to pick up!
 

Just doing bubby things...

Grass is good... as are leaves, sticks, gum nuts...

Thank goodness it was a soft landing, no tears this time...

Don't mean to blow my own trumpet, but, how cute am I??

Natasha really gets into her reading... 

Natasha's first birthday...

Natasha had lots of firsts today... first time playing in the sand, first time eating birthday cake (yum, more please) and first time opening presents by herself (sort of!!).

It was her party, and she cried 'cos she wanted to! But only for a little while, and the lady bird cake was a great distraction for the tears!

She had a lovely time at her picnic at the park and slept the sleep of the exhausted!

Visiting Great Grandma...

I had a lovely time with Great Grandma. We read some books and I talked to her about all the things I've been up to recently. 

Look at me! Look at me!

I'm learning lots of new tricks - trying to crawl...

I love to wave hi and bye...

And look at my teeth!!

 

The Bubble at play...

Oh it's tough being me!! Just some of the cute faces that I pull while I'm playing.

What's in a name?

Thanks to Penny for my lovely new toy....
but now for the question...
Lady bird?
Lady bug?
Lady beetle?

Which is it?


At the moment this one is called the
Ladybirdbeetlebug.

Let us know which you would call it.

Cousins at play...

Giorgia and I had fun reading a book and playing together. Ruby was watching us while we played.
 

Sitting up...

It's been a while since we wrote...
but here I am sitting up all by myself - makes me look like a big girl now! 

Natasha's newest cousin

Congratulations Alex and Nicole on the birth of Ruby! She's out of the humidicrib and doing well. Looks like a little Alex!
Natasha was very excited to meet her newest cousin (and NJB looked like a GIANT in comparison!!).

The Baptism

Natasha had a very busy day yesterday! Mum and Dad woke her up early so she could get ready for her baptism. Thanks Nathan and Annabel for the cute outfit!

The service was great and Natasha didn't mind having water splashed on her forehead! We were so pleased to have so many of our friends and family there to support us as we publicly declared our faith and asked for help and encouragement to bring Natasha up knowing Jesus as her Saviour. April and Georgina were excited to become Natasha's God-sisters (thanks to Andrew and Alex taking up the role of God-parents!!)

After church we had a big party - it was all quite overwhelming for a small person, but lots of fun! Natasha slept very well last night and woke almost an hour later than usual!!

After a long, hard day socialising at my baptism it's time to chill out and relax on the couch...
