More words Amaya can say

Well we are quickly discovering that when Amaya can put sentences together we won't be able to keep her quiet. She is such a jibber jabber and loves to talk, except that most of her words we cannot understand, but we have compiled an updated list of words that Amaya can say.............
hot
cold
hug
ball
flow (flower)
apple
sad
happy
ta (understanding that it can get her stuff)
"Hi" for Hi-5
Bye and Hi
Boo (even covers her eyes with hands for Peekaboo)

I think thats all for now.

It's been a while

I have just realised that its almost been a month since we last blogged, so here's a quick life update..... Mark is almost ready for his prac, it starts in 2 weeks time. He is excited and busy planning.
We just spent the past weekend Red Shield Collecting and this year proved to be our most successful yet! We were very surprised, as petrol prices are sky high and the cost of living has increased, but people are still very generous!
Amaya is as cute as ever. She loves to sing and dance, especially to her favourite group, Hi 5. We listen to it in the car and she loves it. She also loves going to Kindergym and tomorrow we need to take our teddies for a Teddy Bear's picnic.

Lots happening in our house, but we are all good. And touch wood, we aren't sick! It seems that everyone else is getting that way.

Bye for now.

Our new receptionist!

Amaya is wanting a new job.... a receptionist. She is very good at writing whilst talking on the telephone.

Gifted is one word to describe this!! he he.

Mark is also very bus studying and working at the moment and time with Amaya is precious. This week they had a few precious moments, and Mark got his matchbox cars out to play with. Amaya loves them!

Mark's 30th Birthday

Friday was Mark's 30th birthday and we have had a fun filled weekend. On friday night we had a small family tea, where Amaya sampled her first tiny piece of chocolate cake. She wasn't too fased about it, and she loves her grapes more!! (Just need to find a fruit for winter!)

Mark was given an ipod (from me) for his birthday, of which he had no idea. So he spent all day Friday playing with that.

On Saturday I had organised a surprise birthday party for Mark, which he reckoned he know about. We had 35 of Mark's closest friends and family and we had a great time.

I then drove Mark to Victor Harbor for dessert on Saturday night. Oour favourite place in Victor is called the Anchorage, so we had yummy food.

Mark had a great weekend and was very lucky to get lots of very cool presents.

Will write more when I have a bit more time.
