Snuggle Up

Mmm Easter

Taya was pretty keen on chocolate!

Smiles

Raglan

We went to Raglan for the day with Katherine and Opal in the falcon and meet up with Sarah and Ricky over there. It was very hot on the beach but Taya claimed her spot on the only deck chair under the umbrella. Went for a swim - it took Taya a while to get used to the water but eventually started running around in in until she got bowled over by a small wave!

Bathing with Bo

Strange but true ..... Bo the cat likes being in the bath with Taya!

Girl Racer!

Whangamata

We went to Whanga and stayed with Justene & Adam for a night. The kids loved the sand and water.

Best Friends!

Taya loves her new kitten, Bo and Bo loves playing with Taya too.

Happy 1st Birthday Taya

Wow how fast your 1st year has gone ...

At 1 you are:

• walking


• have 5 teeth


• going to playcentre


• enjoying swimming


• love playing outside (especially the sandpit at playcentre)

Above are some photos of your birthday celebrations. We had a small gathering on the Sunday prior your birthday with all your family and some friends. You got stuck into the chips that Grandad Jeff was giving you and loved the strawberries - you also thought the marshmellows on your cake were pretty good too.

Our little reindeer!

We put the christmas tree up today and found these antlers (they were Grandad Jeff's!). Tried to get a picture of Taya walking but she is too fast .... might try post a video link.

Ice Cream

Mmm yum Taya's first ice cream all to herself.

Surfie Chick!

I haven't put the sunnies on Taya for a while as she keep ripping them off, but tried them out today and she didn't even notice them - thought she was pretty cool!

In the Garden

We love playing in the garden - so much to explore.

Check out my spikes!

Gave Taya a new hair do in the bath!

Look at me ...

no hands!!! Taya is 'free-standing' more and more often now. We are just waiting for that first step .... ???

Hoodie

This is Taya in her new hoodie that I knitted ready for next winter. The colours look so awesome on her.

Swimming Today

We are onto our second swimming term and Taya is getting very confident in the water.

Walker

Taya is having great fun with her new walker. It only took her a day to suss it out and she is speeding across the lounge. When the weather is fine again she can have a go on the grass where there is a lot more space to go.

Outside

It was such a beautiful day today that Taya and I spent most of it outside which we both really enjoy.

Pulling Up

Taya has sussed out how to crawl so now she wants to walk! Every chance she gets she is pulling herself up onto things (couch, gate, laundry basket...). Taya can also now wave goodbye in her own cute way and clap her hands.
