Poppy’s latest trick is to poke out her tongue whilst humming and smiling and sometimes blowing bubbles!

Adrienne’s gown…
We tried setting up our own little photo studio at home using our black mink blanket as a backdrop and Fred’s halogen work lights to provide the right atmosphere. We dressed Poppy in a wee petticoat and gown Adrienne wore as a baby and took this shot…

first highchair!
We bought Poppy a brand new highchair even though everything else she has is secondhand. We figured she’d be using it for 3 years and we wanted something with the latest technology. We chose the Steelcraft reclining, wheelabout, several-leveled super highchair and popped Poppy in for her first try…. She has spent several spells in her new chair and seems to like being at the same height as us. She is still a bit little to use the tray successfully, but in the recline position she is able to play with some toys without losing them all on the floor! In the same shipment from Baby Universe we received her brand new Safe n Sound Royale car seat – what a wonderful seat! We will be returning her hired newborn capsule and starting to use the new car seat once she hits 8kg.

photo shoot
We had the opportunity to participate in a photo shoot for a Parent’s Centre promotion and here are our best shots:







This is the one we ordered as a print to frame for our wall:

Trying to eat my first taste of baby rice – I’m helping Daddy with the spoon!

This tastes a lot better – GranJan’s carrot & pumpkin!
