Amaya doesn't like Father Christmas

We took Amaya yesterday for her second visit to Father Christmas and did not like him at all. She would stand next to him, but was not interested in sitting on his lap. Maybe when she is old enough to write letters that she will like him. It must be the big white beard!

Amaya Grace- the little girl

Here is Amaya Grace our little girl, not tiny baby. She is adorable, however she has been cutting her teeth, and sometimes not too adorable. But here are some pics from our first week of holidays.

She is so cool

Here is bundle of joy. Looking more like a toddler than a baby.

Amaya's water pool

Amaya got a sand tray for her birthday and yesterday she was using it as a water pool. She loved it and loved playing with her water toys. Our friends brought their little puppy Ollie and he also loved playing in the water.

Is she cute or what!!!

Amaya is sick at the moment, but her spirits are high. She only gets grumpy when shes tired, or she can't breathe because she has a blocked nose. That's when I get the nose sucker and get all of the snot out!!!!

The photos are of Amaya having gorgeous hair before a sleep, funny hair after a sleep and then Amaya giving mummy a big sloppy kiss! I may get a cold now, but it was worth every bit of slobber!!

Amaya and Ella

These two are like peas in a pod. They love playing together, although at the moment, that consists of Ella laying on the floor and Amaya trying to make her move. Amaya loves her and especially had eyes for Uncle Peter yesterday!
Amaya has began crawling. Although I prefer to call it shuffling. She is getting around the house and i have found her a couple of times by calling her and a little head comes out from a doorway in the coridoor. She is gorgeous and a lot of fun.

Anyway, have a look a these pics and I am sure that there will be lots more before Pete and Di go to Melbourne.

Our little princess

Today was warm so Amaya decided to wear a dress. Its a bit hard to move around in a dress, but she tried. We went to Helen and Tim's for lunch and she behaved like a princess. She has even learned how to blow kisses and make a kissing noise with your lips. She's adorable!

Swimming beauty

We went to Brighton beach tonight. Amaya loved the waves!! She didn't want to get out. She had a wave hit her in the face and she loved it!!!

The other photos are of Amaya's new sleeping position and her being extra cute and cuddly.

A day in the grant dayspa

Amaya loves to be pampered........ how awesome is she. She is such a girl.

Jaimee and Amaya

On Wednesday Jaimee came over to play with Amaya. They loved playing together and watching Hi 5!!

Man is she growing up!!

Its only just been over the past few weeks that we have noticed a massive change in Amaya's development. She is beginning to copy (particularly me!) and become way more entertaining. Still not crawling, but when she is in Mark's new office, there are signs!! She is desperate to walk, but she won't let go of our hands or anything else!! And looks petrified when we let her stand on her own. But tomorrow her friend Jaimee is coming over, so she might get a lesson in crawling and walking.

Amaya's Jungle Party

Today we had Amaya's Jungle Party to celebrate her turning one. We had heaps of fun, however Amaya got tired towards the end and had to go home for a nap.

She was very spoilt and got lots of lovely presents. There were lots of jungle animals at the party and was very cool!! But Amaya won't be having another party until she is 5. No one told me that a birthday party could be so stressful!

Amaya's first birthday

Yay, Amaya is now one year old. I cannot believe that a whole year has gone. Well she was the most spoilt one year old and she loved every minute of it!

In the water!

Amaya loves water so today she had her first "pool" experience in the back yard. Mum and Dad came over and played with her. She loved being nude and being outside. She also loves water and so she had a great afternoon splashing around. She is 1 in just over a week. We cannot believe that a year has passed since she came into the world and she is the best thing in our lives. It has been hard work, but all worth it!
