Emma's first swim in the local pool

 

The parents retreat!!!

Here a couple of pics of the upstairs area and I think the best part of the house... I would be happy just to live up here! And maybe we will... just need to organise a bar fridge from somewhere.

Our own 'small' deck...

Ocean glimpses from the top deck

The master bedroom

First day at the new home

We finally got the keys to our new home. Woooohooooo!!!! Here a couple of pics from our first day at Brighton.

Inside-Outside deck...

A backyard! yeeeeeehhhha!!! The plan is to get some choocks and maybe rescue a cat next year. Backyard is fully fenced in and all dog owners are more than welcome to bring their pooches along. Great area for you too, houndy!

Emma's first meal at the new home

Masterchef kitchen

Emma is laughing...

Emma thinks its pretty funny to watch me jump up and down in front of her... We thought it was funny to watch her try to laugh for the first time... Here the footage!

Emma the chatterbox

not sure why the quality turned out so crappy but you can listen to Emma chatting away...

It's been a while since I updated our blog, so here a swineload of pictures from the last 2 months. Emma can sit now and has also discovered the jollyjumper. No crawling yet and I hope that she will take her time as our life is truly going to change, once this little terror will be mobile. Her eyesight has improved loads and I hardly notice her wobbly eyes anymore. Maybe I am just used to it now... sometimes one of her eyes keeps turning inwards, but again, I find that this is also definitvely improving. Guess she is as normal as can be, coming from us mutated parents. All in all life is great and you just cant beat the Queensland winter. The weather has been incredible and I dont know what I was thinking when unpacking my boots and coats. They are going straight back into the box!
Enjoy the pics (unfortunately not in chronological order but the pics where Emma is wearing a white t-shirt were taken yesterday).
Ciao for now!!!

Emma is growing up sooooo quick

Hi all! Here the latest pics of Emma. She is growing up so quick and lost that baby look already. Her eyes are improving every day but in comparison to other kids that are her age she still has a very long way to go. But I am sure that she will get there eventually. Next appointment with the eye specialist is in 2 weeks and we are both counting down to that appointment to "see" if we are on the right track with our early intervention programm. Otherwise not too much to report... The one time that we decide to go out in the Valley for a few drinks, we manage to get the car towed. Ahhhhhhhhhh. Should have spent that money on a 24 hour babysitter and more espresso martinis.

Emma is practising rolling around her room. She is not sitting yet, but not too far off.

Hmmmmmmmm. Pumpkin puree....

Emma can hold her bottle now. Well, sort of...

Nothing like cuddles with dad!
