The bubba can WALK!!!

For approximately a month Miss Ella has been taking the odd step here and an odd step there ... so you can imagine my surprise when she was in our bedroom with me tidying up last Sunday morning (11th October 2009) and took 10 steps in a row!! I was soo excited ... I then had to go out to the kitchen so I stood Ella in our hallway and she followed me ... taking another 39 amazingly cute steps from the hallway to our dining/kitchen area!!

Steve sadly was out at the time so he didn't get to see this when I did but Ella was happy to show daddy when he got home how she can take lots of steps :-)

Needless to say I have my running shoes on now hehe

Happy Birthday Babcia :-)

My Babcia (my grandmother) is celebrating her birthday today. Ella and I called her this morning to wish her a happy birthday and even sang "happy birthday" to her just like she does each year on my birthday hehe

Ella's First Birthday Party :-)

Ella turned one on the 30th September 2009 ... So we threw her a first birthday party on Monday 5th October 2009 (labour day public holiday). Lots of people came to celebrate her big day and the lucky little birthday girl was given even more gifts!!

We even had another cake - this time it was 1/2 Cherry Ripe mud cake, 1/2 White Chocolate mud cake. The cake (decorations) didn't quite turn out as I had pictured it - close though :-)

Happy Birthday baby girl, your daddy & I hope you had a lovely day and enjoyed the first of many wonderful birthdays & birthday parties!!
