9 months old

Elise is now 9 months old (out for as long as she was inside) and mastering new skills very quickly now. She can drink from a cup, pull herself up, wave goodbye, has a total of 5 teeth and shake her head from side to side. Everyday is full of amazing discoveries - like how much fun it can be to empty books out of bookcases and rip up toilet paper. Elise and Nova are already partners in crime!

Priya with baby boy Rahee were recently visiting from Brisbane. It was lovely to meet gorgeous little Rahee. Elise's favourite new toy is the kissing dolly which was a present from Priya, Jeetu & Rahee. Elise says "ahhhh!" everytime she sees the dolly then sucks on its nose.

Elise had lots of cuddles recently from her relatives over from W.A. Here is a picture of Elise with great grandma Edmiston.

Sean is very excited about fathers day coming up!!!!

Grandad's 60th birthday

Better Homes and Gardens were doing a backyard makeover for a house in our street last week. Kate, Elise and Nova got to see all the TV stars in the street on our daily walk. The house is blue and is cement rendered if you happen to see the backyard makeover in coming weeks. 5 days and hundreds of people (not to mention the catering trucks) to show us how easy it can be to do at home.......

Elise is a very confident sitter and crawler now. She is determined to chase after Nova and is trying to get into everything....The two top teeth have arrived as well.

We celebrated grandad David's 60th on the weekend. A very yummy lunch on a gorgeous sunny Sunday at Bicentennial Park. Happy Birthday David/ Dad/ Grandad.

P.S Our friend Chris is now well recovered - thank goodness!!
