Another pic from felix's party... RR and her friend Zoe in matching pink

party time

We went to our first party on saturday night (a blessing for our 6 month old friend Felix that started at 5pm!) Rakaia wore one of her special hats made by Granny Jillian and almost stole the show. We had a lovely time - making lots of new friends - and were still home in bed by 9 o'clock.

We never get sick of bath shots!

1st playtime...

Our friends in NZ Tony and Tracey gave RR a special mat to play on (thanks again!) and we had our first go on it today. RR was batting the toys around with her little fists but i'm not sure if she's made the connection yet that it was her making them move. She was certainly kept interested though....

So this is the first week that Kate and Rakaia have spent at home alone with the nanas gone and Joel back at work, so we've been having fun hanging out +getting into the swing of things. Just before RR was born Joel decided to quit his hardcore mega stressful legal job (which is ironically the reason we came out to gippsland in the first place!) and take some time out - so he's spent the last 4 weeks with us which has been great. This week he started a casual 3 day a week job. Hopefully this will be relatively easy going and he'll still be getting to spend 4 days a week at home with us. YAY!

We love bath time

one month already!!!

Rakaia will be a month old tomorrow... time really does fly!!!

Our little munchkin...

Everybody always thinks that THEIR baby is the cutest.

In this instance it's true!
