Our little fairy

Well, since her second birthday, Amaya has had an interesting time. Exactly one week after her birthday she got her first dose of gastro. She was sick for four days and lost quite a bit of weight (of which she has quickly put back on!). Then I got sick.....

Anyway, Amaya then began to get her 2 year old molars, of which we saw the Terrible 2s begin!! We thought that we had lost our beautiful baby, as all we were seeing was a quick tempered little girl.... HOwever, it has come to light that the little girl that we know and love has returned and she is just as gorgeous.

Her talking is coming along and she is beginning to join words together to make simple phrases. Tonight at tea we had "i love clothes... i love toys... i love Woody". She is also loving numbers and can count to 5 on her own and to 10 with help. She also loves the alphabet song and attempts it on her own.

She loves music and today we discovered the music of Peter Combe. Amaya's favourite song is about singing to the number 5! She loves it.

She also loves her bath crayons/paints and is discovering her artistic side as she is bathing. (We had to try something, as our grumpy toddler wasn't wanting baths!)

Her fairy outfit was one that we bought her on Saturday and she put it on while we were at Mums. She loves it!
(I will post a picture when i get one- for now there are some on my facebook sight)

Cath's and Amaya's Birthdays

Wednesday the 1st of October was my birthday and the following day was Amaya's. So we have had a very busy week. (Well, Mark has had a VERY busy week). He has worked hard to make sure that both Amaya and I have had great birthdays!

My birthday started with Amaya staying asleep until 8.30AM, so Mark and I had breakfast in bed. Then I had a relaxing day. The weather was 28 degrees, so Mark and I went to a nice part of town and looked in shops that we don't take Amaya into (Mum had Amaya). We got gelati and just window shopped, it was lovely. I then had a birthday tea with lots of lovely presents.

Amaya's birthday was similar, although Amaya and I went down to Brighton beach to have a latte and a bubbachino. We had a birthday tea for Amaya, with our closest friends. We all ate pizza and Amaya got lovely presents too.

I then had my proper party yesterday. A group of us sailed for a hour and a half along the coast line of Adelaide, eating and drinking. It was lovely. The weather was 20degrees, witha cool breeze. We didn't see any dolphins, but we did have a lot of entertainment on board.

So, birthdays are over for another year..... they are great when they come, but they go so fast.
