10 MONTHS OLD!!

Weigh in - 8.37kgs
I still have only 6 teeth. Most importantly I am mobile - I can crawl!! And am trying very hard to walk... Favourite foods to add to my list are avocado, cucumber and any kind of meat.

Mummy's tired

I love being mobile and I want to play all the time - yesterday I pulled myself up into standing position with the help of the couch and opened the fridge all by myself. Mummy looks so tired - I wonder why?

Crazy Crawling Critter

I started to crawl properly last Monday and love to get into, and out of everything!

I love standing

Aren't I clever?

And I can wave at the same time!!

L00K no hands!

Aren't I clever standing up all by myself - look no hands!
(Ed. Actually Bella was falling backwards just as this photo was taken, but it does look like she is standing on her own for a milisecond :0) )

Visitors from Oz!!

My friend Lilly and her family from Townsville came to visit us for a few days - it was so much fun. I had a wonderful time having someone else to play with and I was very good at sharing my toys. Lilly even cut her first tooth while she was here!! Lilly was teaching me how to crawl and I was showing her how to give high fives!

9 Months old

Weigh in - 8.28kgs
I have 6 teeth, 4 at the top and 2 at the bottom.
My new favourite foods are salmon, roasted fennel and spagetti.
I am not crawling properly but am almost there! I am very good at going backwards and am figuring out how to go forwards... sometimes.
I can say lots of words (ed. babble), and daddy is very happy I am finally saying dada!
