A few highs (and lows) from the past week

Posted on May 7, 2011May 7, 2011 by BritMumInNZ

The first week of a new term is never without a hitch.  We only had a two week school holiday to enjoy together, after a long, 11-week, first term. We were just getting into our stride, and really enjoying ourselves, when the end of the holidays hit us with a bang. It felt premature that…

It starts over breakfast…

Posted on August 27, 2010 by BritMumInNZ

The mess. It starts over breakfast, after the first round of washing has already been mysteriously whipped into the washing machine. Alice enjoys baby cereal off a spoon – but she hasn’t quite got that you hold the spoon by the handle – preferring to get stuck right into the action on the tip of…

5 month’s, 2 teeth & sitting pretty

Posted on July 19, 2010October 25, 2011 by BritMumInNZ

Dear Alice, My calendar tells me you are 22 week’s old and you are beginning to sit, unaided, mighty fine. Your big sisters think it’s hilarious to watch you wibble wobble and topple, but they are very proud of you too. It’s quite amazing to think only 5 month’s ago you could barely turn your…

Charli’s first visit from the Tooth Fairies

Posted on March 29, 2010 by BritMumInNZ

Last night Charli left a letter with her tooth in the hope of a visit from the Tooth Fairies. We believe there’s more than one after having read, ‘The Diary of a Tooth Fairy‘ by Alan Durant (Author) & Vanessa Cabban (Illustrator). When Charli was younger she used to say she saw fairies and loved…

Running Wild!

My legs were made to run, fast!

I’m picking up the pace!

From baby to toddler – Mummy and Daddy are having to catch up pretty fast!

I’m the fastest crawler in town

Posted on March 14, 2004July 28, 2010 by Charlotte

I can now crawl at a rate of knots and am busy keeping my mummy and daddy well and truly on their toes.

I’m crawling and I have a new tooth!

Posted on February 29, 2004July 28, 2010 by Charlotte

There’s a whole new world out there. Dad’s sock draw is more fun than my toys!

I can say ‘Da, Da’

Posted on February 21, 2004July 28, 2010 by Charlotte

I’ve learnt to say Da,Da – now he’s really wrapped round my little finger!

Visitors from the UK!

Posted on February 18, 2004July 28, 2010 by Charlotte

I met my Great Aunty Ellen and Great Uncle John for the first time and had lots of cuddles.

I cut my first tooth!!

Posted on January 22, 2004July 27, 2010 by Charlotte

It didn’t hurt much, thanks to furious chewing on everything I could get my little hands on and yummy rusks..
