There she blows!!!

So picture this, we creep as silently as we can into our sleeping princesses' bedroom to perform our nightly ritual of making sure she is comfortable, warm, and under the covers.

Gazing adorably at our beautiful little girl, she wriggled a little as we raised the side of the cot. Making sure she had her dummy close by... she lifted her bottom into the air and brrrr!!!! Yep, she farts in her sleep just like her Mum!!

You might be wondering why we are blogging this little story. We just found it so funny that we fell out of her room laughing so hard, and we wanted to remember it & share it.

Words Amaya can say

Apparently by their 18 month check up babies are supposed to say 20 words. We thought.... "Oh my goodness, she can't do that!" But I thought that we would list the words that she can say just so that we can remember what she said at 17 months.

Mum
Dad
Up
Out
"Bob" Bob the Builder
"Roary" The Racing Car
Yay
Woaw
Nan
Oh
Uh Oh
Bubble

So at the moment we have 12 words. I don't think that we want her to say anything else at the moment because she won't be quiet once she starts!

Also she is starting to copy the last words that we say. Her teeth are giving her some grief and Mark had an interesting day with May May yesterday. Her meat teeth on her left arrived just after Christmas, and her meat teeth on her right have arrived in the last couple of days. She has woke up quite often, which sucks, but we still love her. Today we also saw another facet to her personality. Her funny facial expressions are getting hilarious, but we can never catch them on the camera. Will try and add a video when I know how.

Will also try and take a photo of Amaya on the tramp at kindergym, its her favourite.

Now it's cold

The weekend brought hot weather, but today it was cold. Amaya got her first proper English coat (a real bargain 99p on ebay!! and thanks to Auntie Chris). Amaya looked a bit like an astronaut, but we loved it!!

I also was proud.. I got to braid my little girls hair today. She sits so still and lets me do it.

She also got some overalls which Mark loves. She is such a little girl now. We love her.

Now it

Now it

Amaya and Liam on a hot summer's day

Amaya and Liam played together in the paddling pool today. Afterwards we had a nappy parade! They had heaps of fun.

Sorry Day 2008

Today marks an important day in the history and future of our country. Today our Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, said sorry for past hurt to Aboriginal people, in particular the stolen generation. It is very exciting and an important milestone for our future.

Australia Day '08

Today Amaya planted her first plant. First she watered it with Daddy. Then she fell asleep on Mum. Its so hard being so cute.
She has also decided to copy Mum by walking around the house holding a bag.
