Izzy's Christening

I've waited years and years to be able to dress a little girl for her christening. The dress I wanted only existed in my mind. So I found the most talented lady and had her make it. The finished product was 100 times more beautiful than I had imagined. So much lace and frills, matching lace leggings, matching lace hair bows - it was just perfect.

Growing up...

Favourite time of the day - playing with Ben after school.

Out at the park

Izzy loves going to the park. Hard to believe that she was actually scared of grass when we first put on it. Now she quite happily goes walking on grass in bare feet.

Out in the yard doing my stuff

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.

New chair

Standing - no holding on!

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!

Check out my new bike!
