Tea party

We have found the local toy library (phew!). Here is Neve having a tea party with her bear and a baby in the conservatory at the back of our house. We also got a stroller which she loves, especially as there arent any stairs to slow her down. Her favourite mode of transport at the moment is fast running and she is becoming a great copy-cat. Better stop that swearing now! More pics of the house to come - have run out of time this weekend.



The cat made the trip south and has found the sunny spot in the house already!

a loooong drive

Neve didnt have much room in the car, but coped well with the trip to Wellington and managed to amuse herself some of the time - not sure what the towel is doing over her head?!

cleaning and some QA

Lucky for us we had Neve around to check how clean the back corner of our cupboards were...

Neve really wanted to help with the clean up of our old house or liked the idea of buckets of water anyway! This seemed like a reasonable compromise and gave us a little bit of time to keep cleaning.

some recent pics

Neve still likes taking all her clothers off and the latest 'nude' activity is shopping!

And this is Neve playing in the cubby house I made for her...she spent a long time amusing herself here, which meant I was able to get more packing done - yeh!

today

Hard to believe that Neve is almost 19 months old!

silly games!

Neve thinks its pretty good fun to cover her face with a towel to play 'boo'...and will occasionally walk around the lounge room with it over her head - the second photo shows what happens if you can't actually see where you are walking. Pity that there was no video to capture the volume of the collision between the head and the wall!

At the beach

This was a few weeks ago now - we spent a great sunday afternoon at Mission Bay eating icecream and playing in the waves!

Not sure where Neve learnt that it is ok to hold babies upside down....

talking on the phone..

Even though she only has some words she certainly can 'talk' lots..
