FIVE YEARS DOWN THE TRACK...

In November 2004 we started the journey to bring a baby home from China ... five years later, in October 2009, we met Isobel Pingqin.
Our little livewire known as Izzy.

We've got a walking girl !!!

Izzy has been cruising furniture and standing for a few weeks now. She has been able to take one or two steps (very wobbly) for about a week now. Tonight she stood up, picked up an empty Diet Coke box and carried it about 6 steps over to the door. For the next half hour or so she just kept getting up and taking 5 or 6 steps at a time. This photo is her face every time she walks - she knows she is doing something pretty special. She has come so far in just 3 months.

Happy New Year!


Well here I am getting ready for my first New Years Eve in Sydney. I slept through the 9pm fireworks but saw the midnight ones. I think we got a pretty good spot (thanks to Uncle Andrew)!
I'm also an Australian Citizen now!

Out and about
















Have been spending time at the park and beach.

Trying my hardest to walk

We're having a lot of falls at the moment - trying our hardest to stand without holding on and trying to walk but still very wobbly.

Visiting Santa


Ben and I went to visit Santa today. We didn't get a good photo - I cried and Ben was too excited about Santa to concentrate on looking at the camera!

Pegs are pretty cool and the basket makes a nice hat too!







What have I been up to?





Well I'm now cruising around the furniture all the time. That's all I want to do. I found the corner cupboard in the kitchen is pretty good for leaning against and I don't have to hold on to anything.
I've started going to Mandarin playgroup which is great for me, but mum doesn't understand what they are saying.

My Great Nana


This is my great nana who is 94. I am her 11th great grandchild.
