Get ready, set, go!

Christina has just turned 9 months and has started to crawl. We are very excited about this developmental milestone. The problem now is that nothing is safe from her. She loves going for open doors and the toilet seat, so you always need to be on your guard and close doors.Her top two teeth have also started to come out. She likes to bite everything which is quite cute. Little Miss Personality doesn't like it when you take things away from her. 

Aqua time

Christina had her first swim today. We've had a few days of extremely hot weather and the little one just loves the water. 

Superwoman

Little Christina loves to fly. She opens her mouth and gives the biggest smiles to let you know that she likes it. Everyday is special because as she gets older, she interacts with you more and more. Gill and myself call her "Miss Personality" because she lets you know when she wants something.

What's up doc?

Gillian loves this dummy. When I got home and Gillian showed me the photo's I couldn't stop laughing. I refer to this photo as the Naas Botha shot. 

Christina's Christening

Today was a special day because Christina was christened at St Augustine's Catholic Church (Germiston). Aunty Ilona and myself were christened and confirmed in this church, and therefore having the little one christened in the same church is special. Afterwards we celebrated by having lunch in Broadacres, Fourways. 

Life's a beach!

This was my first day at the beach. It was a bit windy but I still enjoyed the fresh sea air. We came down to the coast to meet my great grandparents. 

Hello world!

Christina is starting to sit upright and wants to put everything she can touch into her mouth. I bought her a plastic fork and spoon set which she loves to suck on. Gillian took this photo today which shows exactly what I'm talking about. She looks so cute and has a good nature.
