School Holidays

Elise has had lots of fun hanging out with other babies/kids over the past few weeks. Here is a picture of her with the Clarke & Lucas kids on a picnic at the Botanical Gardens.

Elise had a great time entertaining Alethia, Kiara & Enya O'Neil at the jazz afternoon at Cammeray.

Elise and baby Adam Fehir met up again recently. Isn't he a cutie!

Elise freaked her mum out the other morning. Mum left Elise on the kitchen floor while she went up the stairs to wipe the dining table. Next thing mum turns around to find Elise sitting on the floor next to the dining table. Elise had travelled up the stairs all by herself.....without having shown much interest in the stairs before that. No stopping her now!

We are off on our 1st family holiday on the 24th Oct down to Jervis Bay on the South Coast for a few days then up to Blueys Beach near Forster. Nova is coming too as we are able to rent some dog friendly holiday houses. We'll be sure to post some pictures on our return.
Big count down now until Elise's 1st birthday..........only 6 weeks to go!!!
Congratulations to cousin Adrian on his engagement to June. Very exciting news!

10 months old

We enjoyed catching up with some more out of towners visiting Sydney this week - Aunty Meggy from Ballina and the Clarkes from Sawtell. Aunty Meggy was training for her new job with the Commonwealth Bank so Kate had a fun time hanging out with her sister having dinner and going shopping (Big girl stuff!) The Clarkes are here on school holidays so it was great to see all the kids.

At 10 months old, Elise is clapping her hands and waving goodbye and hello at every opportunity. She is getting stronger with standing and is pulling herself up onto everything. The tongue is out when she is concentrating hard - a trait from both sides of the family.
