We took photos for Christmas cards today. I think I’ve chosen the one we’ll use, but I won’t tell which just in case YOU’RE on the list- you can still get a surprise :-)
I think she was a little posed out from our family portrait photos yesterday, and was also a little grumpy because of the heat, but luckily she’s gorgeous even without her toothy grin…
Which one do you like best??
Mayana is growing them both. She’s got 7 teeth now, and judging by the state of her poor bottom, I’d say there’s another on its way. And check out that new tuft of fluffy hair on top of her head! We’ll have clips in there before you know it.
Mayana loves to gaze up at our beautiful tree, which she excitedly refers to as ‘DAT!!!!!!!’. She hasn’t been too hung up on touching it, but she will go over and caress the decorations that are at her height. She ocassionally pulls one off, but will always bring it to one of us so we put it back on. She’s fascinated by the whole thing, especially when we turn the tree lights on.
So each day we sit down next to the tree with her and look at all the pretties. She loves it. I love it too.
But I will make up for it now… a good sized dose of the most gorgeous Mayana-Berry you ever will see!
We’ve been in Noosa for the last week and a half.. Pete’s on prac and Mayana and I are hanging out and catching up with lots of friends… and loving it!
Mayana has just discovered mangoes. Loves them. A lot. Here she is sucking her first mango seed.
We went to visit my friend Naomi and her daughter Elena. They have a really cool TV unit with fantastic baby-sized cubes that are perfect for exploring.
And also really loved playing with her buddy Elena. 
Who, believe it or not, is only 3 weeks older than her! Yes, Mayana is a pipsqueak.
This is when we went to visit my friend Krystal and her daughter Willow. A room full of toys and Mayana went for the cardboard tube. Of course.
Mayana and her buddy Willow. They had so much fun playing together. 
And believe it or not, Willow is only 11 days older. Yes, my daughter really is a pipsqueak.
But a gorgeous one, don’t you agree??
Hi everyone! We just got back from a big holiday with my Great Nanna and Great Poppy. It was heaps of fun. Here are some photos of my adventures…
I love hanging out with Mama’s cousin, Torren. He’s pretty cool. He’s going to be an uncle really soon, and he likes to practise with me!
Mama said I got really grubby from playing at Nanna’s house.
I think it’s because I kept playing in Nanna’s potato basket.
My Great-Pop is the best. He gave me lots of tickles and cuddles and raspberries, and makes lots of funny noises. He also taught me how to say, “Allo!!!!!” (hello).
I liked it when my Great-Nanna fed me breakfast. She’s really nice and I love her LOTS!
One day, Mama wrapped my head up in this bandage. It felt really funny, and when I looked in the mirror it made me laugh!
Nanna’s house has lots of fun places to explore. Sometimes I got stuck though!
At Nanna’s house there’s this other little baby. She lives in the hallway in the mirror. I really liked playing with her. Here I am saying, “Allo!”.
Sometimes she got a bit rough, and knocked me over!
There was also a few rooms I wasn’t allowed to go into. But I kept trying!
Torren is really clever at playing instruments, just like my Oom J. I liked dancing while he played Pop’s banjo for me.
I also got to hang out with my Great Aunt Nelly. Every day Mama and Papa took me down to her shop, and she let me play with her computer and with the little guitars she sells.
This is me with my Mama’s cousin, Tennille. She’s pregnant with another little cousin for me! I liked bouncing around on her belly, and I don’t think the baby minded too much!
Every day after my bath, I had a little cuddle with Nanna while Mama got my pyjamas ready. I really loved snuggling with Nanna.
And giving her great big smooch-a-roonies.
And here is me saying goodbye to my Great Pop. Mama really loves this photo. I do too. He’s a pretty great guy!!
I had a really great holiday, it was lots of fun to see all my family. I’m looking forward to seeing them all again soon, when we go back for Tennille’s baby shower!
Love, Mayana…
