Well, what a week!

Well, this week has seen the emergence of Amaya's second tooth. The first one came through beautifully without any hassle, yet this next one- not good. Someone has decided to wake up Mum and Dad on hourly calls to let us know that she still exists...... but we still love her.





She hasn't been herself and has been a bit off colour (not giggling as much!). However, we did get a chance to see her smile when this week she found excitement with a piece of material..... small things!!

















She is absolutely adorable, even when she is screaming with sore teeth, of which we quickly puton the trusty Woman's and Children's hospital teething gel! (Lifesaver!) And a bit of Panadol!





She is great and soon we will put some photos of us too. But we just seem to be taking pictures of Amaya because she is so cute.

Anzac Day

Well, today we hit yet another milestone. Not only has Amaya cut her second tooth, she was able to wear an outfit that she received on the day of her birth from Auntie Suze! It has taken 6.5 months, but the jeans are still a little too long. We thought though, that we would dress her in these clothes before it gets too cold to wear them.

Hat Parade

Today we decided to clear out some of Amaya's old clothes (she's only 6 months old!) that don't fit her any more. It's kind of funny to think that some of these hats were way to big for her when she was smaller (look at the two hats at the start- same hat, same child, different sized head!). We were looking at some photos the other day that were taken at the end of last year, she seriously looks different. It's amazing that it seems like yesterday we were doing everything for her, and now she sits up and is doing her own thing! Wow!!!

Anyway, it's two weeks until Mark's birthday on 2nd May & this year he turns 29...only 12 months until 30 - not sure if that's officially being old yet?

For those who have been following Cath's hand situation, she went to the chiropractor this week who thinks she has tendonitis and so he did some massage work on her hand and then strapped it up. So we will keep strapping it and hopefully it will feel better soon.

Cheers

Our little girl is growing up!

Today was an amazing day in the Grant household...... Amaya began to sit up unassisted!

At first i put cushions around her bottom, but then I gradually moved them away from her and had them as buffers, just in case. Then she did it.... she sat up all on her own. She is so proud of herself, she has been very smiley all day! She even went back a little bit, at one stage, and put her hand out to stop herself!!! Yay. Her gross motor skills are beginning to show!

kEEP YA POSTED!

Our play date

Easter Monday we travelled down to Victor Harbor to spend the day at Dave & Emma's house with Bec & Christian, and Nath & Liv and all the kids. It was a great day relaxing by the beach which was awesome!! We hope everyone had a great Easter.

The Easter Bunny!!

Today Amaya had her first Easter. No chocolate in sight, just banana yoghurt!! Yum.

Nanna Grant came over last night and gave Amaya this bunny. She loves it!

We had a great Easter just hanging at home and relaxing. Amaya has sore gums and being at home is better for all of us.

However tomorrow we are heading to Victor Harbor to hang with our friends Emma and Dave, Nath and Liv and Bec and Christian. It will be great to just hang and relax.

Then its only two days of work and HOLIDAYS!! We are going to have a hectic two weeks I think because we are catching up with lots of people that we normally can't catch up with.

Anyway, have a lovely day.

Playtime

Amaya is starting to sit up on her own. She is very clever.

She also was able to put the larger rings onto the base of this fisher price toy (purely fluke I think!)
