Two days to go

With two days to go till birthday number one tui is getting in practise at being a terrible toddler refusing to go to sleep all morning kicking up a real stink everytime she's put in bed and then turning on the charm big time when Sue the karitane nurse happened to come round and visit. Laying her head down on Sue's shoulder and telling her stories about dah, dah and clapping her hands etc.
She has grown six centimetres in three months and put on about a kilo so the midget fears are subsiding.

three days till first birthday

It's only three day's till Tui's first birthday and she spent the day singing and dancing at a Mainly Music session where there were lots of other babies and she was a bit overwhelmed but she still managed to shake her booty with the best of them and really started getting comfortable at the end of the morning stealing other babies biscuits off them.
In the afternoon she went to the pool and practised walking in the water but really only wanted to be whooshed around.
Very close to walking on her own now -taking a few tentative steps everyday.
