Lots of hugs & cuddles and even a few rugby tackles & pinches thrown in there as well!</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div>Luca is named after his dad 'Tolovae' and 'Ichiro' in Japanese means 'First Son'. He is a cruisy lil bub... just eats & sleeps and never complains. At birth he weighed just over 7lbs but is growing so fast... he may take over his big sis so she better watch out! </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div>We have been very lucky to have Aunty Sachi & Uncle Mark, Nana & Papa (from both sides) and all the aunties, uncles & cousins to help us out. So far it hasn't been too crazy in the hood! Fingers crossed that lasts. </div><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>Ok - signing off for now but promising to be much better with keeping in touch. Aunty Rachel, these pics are just for you. Thanks for forcing me to get off my behind and getting some pics online!!!! ;)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489095994894963885.post-66445433226382231032011-03-29T18:01:00.000-07:002011-03-29T18:17:17.800-07:00The Piano<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeGmcPstMBSwxTOjBK-6MVgoPL609WcQciEd-9QYXqppt7ahw2WJuWIQFiGcFKB1B5zGH10tVweCX4MWnxjpC_MDRo4ErtHTBZMiEbqDakvnfJtcThf-w1J0fHAUf6VczHe713XGzoFTU/s1600/DSC03789.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 180px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589675128033321874" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeGmcPstMBSwxTOjBK-6MVgoPL609WcQciEd-9QYXqppt7ahw2WJuWIQFiGcFKB1B5zGH10tVweCX4MWnxjpC_MDRo4ErtHTBZMiEbqDakvnfJtcThf-w1J0fHAUf6VczHe713XGzoFTU/s320/DSC03789.JPG" /></a> Isla Mozart</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggCuvT0AcUi4hm8gms4_p3l-00s_N4-mJEjeTnhS-gRMy6Xo1otHiGEq3cINPwQP6cwOrFbbGrfOt0v9ewtzDczvliUY-kwhyphenhyphenbfXoMXF89ZhOjPeVGRFizZ_HQy6HJDziDk5pRV5P9kvU/s1600/DSC03784.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 180px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589675120139505458" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggCuvT0AcUi4hm8gms4_p3l-00s_N4-mJEjeTnhS-gRMy6Xo1otHiGEq3cINPwQP6cwOrFbbGrfOt0v9ewtzDczvliUY-kwhyphenhyphenbfXoMXF89ZhOjPeVGRFizZ_HQy6HJDziDk5pRV5P9kvU/s320/DSC03784.JPG" /></a> Umm, how can I play if I can't reach the foot pedals? <br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT99bKGSk5-o9NMcUdxW4-gv7cRQE_HCUsRFxLkZ5-Ng_zBJcnoeShSHdjzQJN0tcbwRIrCjMMdfrBHma9trT5daOqbuKXQ5ZqL3kdnne9Q3F3kiWw051crEqwI79Z8A8p6l1_189bths/s1600/DSC03783.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 180px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589675113461683106" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT99bKGSk5-o9NMcUdxW4-gv7cRQE_HCUsRFxLkZ5-Ng_zBJcnoeShSHdjzQJN0tcbwRIrCjMMdfrBHma9trT5daOqbuKXQ5ZqL3kdnne9Q3F3kiWw051crEqwI79Z8A8p6l1_189bths/s320/DSC03783.JPG" /></a> Smiling for the paparazzi</div><br /><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZI-pFKhKk8kibjvJ9urYAWa7bRwTPBCiUkZksucj_v9vL74Hv6ohuOO874bpaPnZV6fuLLHowQEcIOQ-pOAjP7LtzCfayxDayJMoDDlKdMbxE8qyt5K_aPcMVJRJlI72z-mirHh6hyWo/s1600/DSC03781.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 180px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589675107175824034" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZI-pFKhKk8kibjvJ9urYAWa7bRwTPBCiUkZksucj_v9vL74Hv6ohuOO874bpaPnZV6fuLLHowQEcIOQ-pOAjP7LtzCfayxDayJMoDDlKdMbxE8qyt5K_aPcMVJRJlI72z-mirHh6hyWo/s320/DSC03781.JPG" /></a> <br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxyGuQEZHqa5ZjCStHJeTuLyY_y2c36BLPGoXtOiSDRPdUAxzJ6bvcs70LITp9CMeEk1mzMWs90mvgRuC4Km26Hz_MG2OcegCq-0KhCSoYgY7PQDGDJDUT_n_c4UsztA9OUpiUScvo378/s1600/DSC03782.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 180px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589675103627899042" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxyGuQEZHqa5ZjCStHJeTuLyY_y2c36BLPGoXtOiSDRPdUAxzJ6bvcs70LITp9CMeEk1mzMWs90mvgRuC4Km26Hz_MG2OcegCq-0KhCSoYgY7PQDGDJDUT_n_c4UsztA9OUpiUScvo378/s320/DSC03782.JPG" /></a> This is a handy foot step... <br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>The saga of the piano!</div><br /><div>When we moved from Kingston we discovered that the piano had borer so Papa & Nana paid to get it fumigated before transferring it to Glamis, where it was stored in the garage cos Aunty Sachi didn't want it in her new house! Papa was not too impressed with this as he was very attached to the piano!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Isla loves playing (or rather, banging!) the piano so we convinced them to let us take it to Everton when we moved in. However, 2 weeks after moving in we discovered borer holes all along the walls behind the piano :(</div><br /><div>After much arguing, raised voices and a few yelling matches with the guy who supposedly fumigated the piano - we were told that the house has had borer for quite a while... which is another story!</div><br /><div>Anyway, Isla still loves playing the piano and while I was cleaning yesterday she was trying to get to the piano. She had an obstacle (namely the vacuum cleaner) in front of her but as you can see, she did not let this stop her. Funnily enough, her foot started the vaccum accidentally which gave her a bit of a heartattack and she fell off the vacuum! </div></div></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489095994894963885.post-41042804197714989242011-03-29T17:45:00.000-07:002011-03-29T18:01:24.173-07:00I'm a big, big girl in a big, big world...<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVRlJLQ56Rc1aVYrBoafhTcEdsahSZ3me2gQ4eqIDZbIJ_cS_kXwf9YpvOnbBgmFaTXw3mHJUNHyHy1hE4VjFeKGzmS7jfBy5S28JQpq9oCJO57jqj1XyFIEEYE4K0N2MvuZcD5lh9aes/s1600/DSC03766.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 180px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589671326531382786" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVRlJLQ56Rc1aVYrBoafhTcEdsahSZ3me2gQ4eqIDZbIJ_cS_kXwf9YpvOnbBgmFaTXw3mHJUNHyHy1hE4VjFeKGzmS7jfBy5S28JQpq9oCJO57jqj1XyFIEEYE4K0N2MvuZcD5lh9aes/s320/DSC03766.JPG" /></a> Lunchtime has to be outside cos it gets so messy!</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsHsKS1BSPymwfF88wQKku1z4efK3V52M-41N5dIvQ4Mb0nWQvse8oYHmoekoNlEb2t54WpVaZhtTY5GvpDUFSA91r0kjJTKY9OVt_0DOiAOC-QVoKpoChyphenhyphenH6j8izvZcYELykj86pkrbw/s1600/DSC03762.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 180px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589671320993991074" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsHsKS1BSPymwfF88wQKku1z4efK3V52M-41N5dIvQ4Mb0nWQvse8oYHmoekoNlEb2t54WpVaZhtTY5GvpDUFSA91r0kjJTKY9OVt_0DOiAOC-QVoKpoChyphenhyphenH6j8izvZcYELykj86pkrbw/s320/DSC03762.JPG" /></a> Isla's "fish" look <br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyvcDxbRkMLxyRpnV7UjHVqKu_CI_x_a3QmGt-ch4iRcXf_Dm9ibg-zmuDkr_2m-cghgXY-ma_FHX0ViMz3LdIssWHqRHerCAPgyrSGcaAUuYPvA0WpGeagxn8VN1eE0UozpGtttTIojc/s1600/DSC03717.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 180px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589671312231669330" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyvcDxbRkMLxyRpnV7UjHVqKu_CI_x_a3QmGt-ch4iRcXf_Dm9ibg-zmuDkr_2m-cghgXY-ma_FHX0ViMz3LdIssWHqRHerCAPgyrSGcaAUuYPvA0WpGeagxn8VN1eE0UozpGtttTIojc/s320/DSC03717.JPG" /></a> Cheesy grin :) <br /><div></div><br /><div>We look at Isla now and think.... 'Who are you??'. She has changed so much, both in looks and personality. Her latest visit with the Well Child nurses have her above average in height (obviously not her mama or daddy's genes!) and average in weight (altho we think she's a lil fatty!).</div><br /><div>Isla LOVES eating and will always have food in her mouth! Her favourites at the moment are fruit and veggies... altho she has also shown a liking for McDonalds cheeseburgers & fries! (esp hash browns for breakfast!)</div><br /><div>She is an avid reader and loves reading (and re-reading) favourites such as 'Brown Bear' and 'The Wheels on the Bus'. She is starting to pick out detail in books, such as finding the moon in ' A Kiwi Night before Christmas' or thumping her chest when she sees the gorilla in 'Rumble in the Jungle'.</div><br /><div>Isla is a real social butterfly which can be quite embarassing when you are out & about with her. The other day at the playground I lost sight of her for a few mins only to find her eating another kids food out of their lunchbox! She just walks up to people and tries to give them hugs...or beg for food...or flashes her cheesy smile at total strangers to try and get attention. Shame!</div><br /><div>At this stage she is showing flashes of 'faalii' (must come from mama) and is a bit of a clown (definitely daddy!). Am really enjoying this stage - she is walking all the time now, even trying to run and is noticing more of the world around her. </div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489095994894963885.post-72031054717003932262011-03-29T17:34:00.000-07:002011-03-29T17:45:51.380-07:00February 2011<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoSwZyPtbJM0JbWq0PNKTRlUtHe0R0H2FAYzRxGZk6NNHzFkaV2lx7RZBqzcdTIY5XwZ05c_UXuykveWmkLSrKiZ7lA-9l_gzYK0hb8QubgHjaWJ3U__tBWH2mFot7rvQQksGOw7d525k/s1600/DSC03746.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 180px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589667416358645506" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoSwZyPtbJM0JbWq0PNKTRlUtHe0R0H2FAYzRxGZk6NNHzFkaV2lx7RZBqzcdTIY5XwZ05c_UXuykveWmkLSrKiZ7lA-9l_gzYK0hb8QubgHjaWJ3U__tBWH2mFot7rvQQksGOw7d525k/s320/DSC03746.JPG" /></a> Isla celebrating her birthday with her cousins.</div><br /><div align="center">Back: Gio, Leti (with Daddy), Chrissy, Isla (with Uncle Lima)</div><br /><div align="center">Middle: Faith, Lourdes & Micah</div><br /><div align="center">Front: Matthew & Caleb </div><br /><div align="center">Hard to believe a year ago our lives were flipped upside down with the arrival of our precious Isla Michiko.

Isla LOVES her cousin Micah and follows him everywhere. She is learning some valuable lessons from him - like the pecking order of him being older & therefore the boss! Am sure Isla will only be more than happy to pass this life lesson on to the next addition that comes along ;)</div></div></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489095994894963885.post-82820766311122388742011-01-12T19:05:00.001-08:002011-01-12T21:16:26.018-08:00Happy New Year!<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1V3ZjuFZbjFMA1O-g8tJJMfmDtl7aW-aWsCXDmOtrrGaxivyvdcOa2QtGCJIUqVEr2y4v4zTskQGYFCouSQrBHXEDJCW539Fl-WBLz40wHJSTOqj1fUiLIEWOhBv3HmHGMP1ipkEQt34/s1600/IMG_0116.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561505450304585730" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1V3ZjuFZbjFMA1O-g8tJJMfmDtl7aW-aWsCXDmOtrrGaxivyvdcOa2QtGCJIUqVEr2y4v4zTskQGYFCouSQrBHXEDJCW539Fl-WBLz40wHJSTOqj1fUiLIEWOhBv3HmHGMP1ipkEQt34/s320/IMG_0116.jpg" /></a>Moemoe time with Dadda</div><div align="center"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAZ14D5JuN3t23F1nyh_6DBy9cx8lVKfvpMkJrhbIeJqXTib9s6ssDaQynqSRj1ovnM0gtR_dsQFVPfSUejgVIX4Gr6I-WmHE04mMo7lPj-U1IjcjmHu7Yh2AFFVwEgT7q5zvk7seLOXQ/s1600/IMG_0101.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561505444753041954" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAZ14D5JuN3t23F1nyh_6DBy9cx8lVKfvpMkJrhbIeJqXTib9s6ssDaQynqSRj1ovnM0gtR_dsQFVPfSUejgVIX4Gr6I-WmHE04mMo7lPj-U1IjcjmHu7Yh2AFFVwEgT7q5zvk7seLOXQ/s320/IMG_0101.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp3LnG-wuw9jfiAo-NW7OwBJU75dnPBsv7t-RlGNKBjR7G32a-87_KnT50xPSMlybFjPg8IgeBCPVcWxkfNjV9AiUaUfQs0vfgipbERB91ReUQIKDLZUqBttXEDhSEV0QNjQFOfSODAzY/s1600/IMG_0099.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561505441712571810" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp3LnG-wuw9jfiAo-NW7OwBJU75dnPBsv7t-RlGNKBjR7G32a-87_KnT50xPSMlybFjPg8IgeBCPVcWxkfNjV9AiUaUfQs0vfgipbERB91ReUQIKDLZUqBttXEDhSEV0QNjQFOfSODAzY/s320/IMG_0099.jpg" /></a> If I do this, will you give me more food?<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQplD9jWG70QuLSA1PyBtO_mzQgT_V3fPQziiIhofxWpXMuvi36QrRQztK67t7R9gYP1PxO1hiFcvASckBYocOu0fbr5M9slbQw19ii2deRDhv1k7DjE2S_4sgKXSQgiT8bQRpuq1o-RE/s1600/IMG_0100.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561505436593941938" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQplD9jWG70QuLSA1PyBtO_mzQgT_V3fPQziiIhofxWpXMuvi36QrRQztK67t7R9gYP1PxO1hiFcvASckBYocOu0fbr5M9slbQw19ii2deRDhv1k7DjE2S_4sgKXSQgiT8bQRpuq1o-RE/s320/IMG_0100.jpg" /></a> No?

Still crawling around like a race car but is attempting to take a few steps & stand on her own thanks to a cool walker that Micah got her for Christmas. </div><br /><div>We're really lucky to have Aunty Sachi back cos she is genius with the camera... we can finally get some decent shots of Isla! </div></div></div></div><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489095994894963885.post-7709337918618949572010-10-29T01:26:00.000-07:002010-10-29T01:33:16.026-07:00Yum Yum<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_iwFwKF5THqfrGSLAARAtYqYTcpALmPBTEWJZ5IULBz4PnoHQgmjNplMIN71QOcYb7eWrG8lDKDmrKdF7JmiVoMB2fiR2joxcSduegXyYxtauQveqiMOI9IPsvXqNoPfMZ9eVGp5MmMg/s1600/DSC03258.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 180px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533382892865041426" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_iwFwKF5THqfrGSLAARAtYqYTcpALmPBTEWJZ5IULBz4PnoHQgmjNplMIN71QOcYb7eWrG8lDKDmrKdF7JmiVoMB2fiR2joxcSduegXyYxtauQveqiMOI9IPsvXqNoPfMZ9eVGp5MmMg/s320/DSC03258.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhewDx76AdgR4vPWtNj-0EMGZzGk072V756NW-W2ldvxYu41IOzhH1CH0gfrbWRhcat03IGxtKEjPDWqCoakyGS6_uXm8fHfIyBgTfAjm9GmlIcuXhh1qx3txmks2_mB0AR6torwbKtC3Q/s1600/DSC03259.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 180px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533382884286152626" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhewDx76AdgR4vPWtNj-0EMGZzGk072V756NW-W2ldvxYu41IOzhH1CH0gfrbWRhcat03IGxtKEjPDWqCoakyGS6_uXm8fHfIyBgTfAjm9GmlIcuXhh1qx3txmks2_mB0AR6torwbKtC3Q/s320/DSC03259.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT2GcUuqY-D-92VzuAkPCgx7Pvmp0zbheE6pUSwiJwXgCSmTZGf0m5Us6I-mnQBXH3DywEJbMCv8La8XIbaihvllnjhbs41yKWa2E8EmqibHpPRBDz3WeiddeupKTACRJjhw4PgG73eHg/s1600/DSC03262.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 180px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533382881995145538" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT2GcUuqY-D-92VzuAkPCgx7Pvmp0zbheE6pUSwiJwXgCSmTZGf0m5Us6I-mnQBXH3DywEJbMCv8La8XIbaihvllnjhbs41yKWa2E8EmqibHpPRBDz3WeiddeupKTACRJjhw4PgG73eHg/s320/DSC03262.JPG" /></a><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLJI91pBb8g4fhBUcubpEEWBGeXvc2r2YUs1_Xfxgvu8wSdJ3lmkHn_22fpBmwo71X1WTHVykhO6Od-NoEo3z4rA6gYBkOPwtpBWmWqpTGSCMWin4jas_v-Kw1X-YiFz7DcyAJM3xHqZY/s1600/DSC03263.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533382866805959890" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLJI91pBb8g4fhBUcubpEEWBGeXvc2r2YUs1_Xfxgvu8wSdJ3lmkHn_22fpBmwo71X1WTHVykhO6Od-NoEo3z4rA6gYBkOPwtpBWmWqpTGSCMWin4jas_v-Kw1X-YiFz7DcyAJM3xHqZY/s320/DSC03263.JPG" /></a><br /><div>Isla's latest trick is to stick this toy in her mouth like it's a lollypop or something and wander around. It's quite funny to watch. She hunts it out of the toybox, sticks it in her mouth and off she goes.

He celebrated with 25 friends at tenpin bowling & minigolf followed by a lunch at Burger King. After that, the family headed back to Molly & Mark's house to have a bbq & and a few drinks. Caleb got loads of cool presents & he had a super day. It was extra special cos Aunty Nina came from USA and Uncle Lima surprised us with a visit from Sydney! </div><div>On a sadder note...Poor Isla ended up in Starship Childrens Hospital the next day with a high fever & suspected bladder infection. She had a catheter inserted (ouch!) and fortunately it wasn't a bladder infection rather just a viral throat infection. She was really fussy & grumpy for a few days and is only just coming right now. Bit of a scare for us... but Isla seemed to take it all in her stride!</div></div></div></div></div><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489095994894963885.post-85818598209634816352010-09-11T00:46:00.000-07:002010-09-11T00:56:37.663-07:00Where is Isla?<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlS3uucT4TZpoPy4jvR_xhyphenhyphenYJMY-gHwfhai43FOoijfUrdBvoRhZyiTwgmcf3kQnJC-HPeeWOic_fWQmRPjBT02ASa6q2U_6AxOR6Yi_q5kkaVjeeQQb_tSrDGoVE39PBPv_3hfPQ4qKI/s1600/DSC02988.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 180px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515561252788588450" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlS3uucT4TZpoPy4jvR_xhyphenhyphenYJMY-gHwfhai43FOoijfUrdBvoRhZyiTwgmcf3kQnJC-HPeeWOic_fWQmRPjBT02ASa6q2U_6AxOR6Yi_q5kkaVjeeQQb_tSrDGoVE39PBPv_3hfPQ4qKI/s320/DSC02988.JPG" /></a> Peekaboo!</div><div align="center"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibeC2H0SGkEbI8J_0IZB25lzZxcjgsWASieenb9_z_CYbEz2lMJZevfwVe4DMc-jvgBa29f6vJi9hIcyDK6cFHiEgzrRF6HELOS8VUJaieR8ekhOY6VSPY6o1Lxk1zp9cg8QM1Yhkao_Y/s1600/DSC02987.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 180px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515561247254489842" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibeC2H0SGkEbI8J_0IZB25lzZxcjgsWASieenb9_z_CYbEz2lMJZevfwVe4DMc-jvgBa29f6vJi9hIcyDK6cFHiEgzrRF6HELOS8VUJaieR8ekhOY6VSPY6o1Lxk1zp9cg8QM1Yhkao_Y/s320/DSC02987.JPG" /></a> Where did she go?<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj61mU7ej6EOC9fxNIAJBkrY9EkSakCxxUfHdW6j97pHODP9mzmnIkWSoWy3FlLOdFdy8Sh2ExdPOzTrO2QMwMPSPpD8bLwxfotsN_b7rLk1SUlxb8yVXyE6BtdtwWPTFPpvxOsebQ48Ig/s1600/DSC02983.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 180px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515561238960140386" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj61mU7ej6EOC9fxNIAJBkrY9EkSakCxxUfHdW6j97pHODP9mzmnIkWSoWy3FlLOdFdy8Sh2ExdPOzTrO2QMwMPSPpD8bLwxfotsN_b7rLk1SUlxb8yVXyE6BtdtwWPTFPpvxOsebQ48Ig/s320/DSC02983.JPG" /></a> The crucifix pose!</div><div><br /><div>Isla has been swaddled since birth to help her sleep. Now that she is becoming more mobile we are trying to wean her off the swaddle... with some difficulty! We have tried pretty much everything books & experts have recommended. We tried one arm out, one arm swaddled - only to wake up the next morning to scratches & cuts all down one side of her head from her scratching all night! We finally decided to just go 'cold turkey' and have been putting her to sleep without any swaddle. It's taking a while for her to get used to having her arms free... which leads to some really funny poses! She's waking up more during the night but we'll persevere and hopefully she'll get the hang of it quickly!</div></div><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489095994894963885.post-45265931287594574962010-08-18T00:00:00.000-07:002010-08-19T00:49:30.497-07:00Eating, Rolling & Sitting<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqj_ag04WiXJ9LMbxNmLbQnsJjFoUTOd30qK5X9v1-mTtcqECnjuauWv_3GNmVlSsl3TdWl3WsrLVFEGDLbu5B3yZni9zh-YsbNKo7c3nIr135_adODY2HK3JV88zLKVijlp0MS7OHcR0/s1600/DSC02801.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507024164253120530" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqj_ag04WiXJ9LMbxNmLbQnsJjFoUTOd30qK5X9v1-mTtcqECnjuauWv_3GNmVlSsl3TdWl3WsrLVFEGDLbu5B3yZni9zh-YsbNKo7c3nIr135_adODY2HK3JV88zLKVijlp0MS7OHcR0/s320/DSC02801.JPG" /></a> Frozen fruity iceblocks... yum!</div><div align="center"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivMb9rouEd3P0gikvlmG3kWkZIsfgy3_OIMd_tFWkr_bFiA_oejeJveW3I8ttwHGBXeyPYirrPL6oMk_JV1FiWOAlTKFLtq1o0PZHM3QmvntZjLYBoOF4RQywtX6YwtUcH1pbXXHnjCpM/s1600/DSC02789.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507024157324806898" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivMb9rouEd3P0gikvlmG3kWkZIsfgy3_OIMd_tFWkr_bFiA_oejeJveW3I8ttwHGBXeyPYirrPL6oMk_JV1FiWOAlTKFLtq1o0PZHM3QmvntZjLYBoOF4RQywtX6YwtUcH1pbXXHnjCpM/s320/DSC02789.JPG" /></a> This is what happens when Daddy feeds me!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjirm9AELPWehRHYGrYNK4wZctu4vGX6Y12U0_7cLRkkn-_M82kTxxjRfob1QWJgDb8z6eb7h3aXEdTsh3p1FsbItjLghAFrwOsd1nlb_53TyZnnsqVeMBk7DesVdk_KN7ZdCojnpqK2K4/s1600/DSC02782.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507024150325836194" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjirm9AELPWehRHYGrYNK4wZctu4vGX6Y12U0_7cLRkkn-_M82kTxxjRfob1QWJgDb8z6eb7h3aXEdTsh3p1FsbItjLghAFrwOsd1nlb_53TyZnnsqVeMBk7DesVdk_KN7ZdCojnpqK2K4/s320/DSC02782.JPG" /></a> Mmmmm....</div><div> </div><div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Isla is now 6 and a half months old... where has the time gone?</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">She has started eating solids - we noticed that she was gnawing her fingers after being fed and stuffing anything she could get her hands on into her mouth! So we tried her on some rice cereal and she gobbled it up! Since then we have tried apple, pear, pumpkin, carrot, kumara and now banana.
