* On the MOVE
YAY..
Zaria is finally crawling. Well, its more commando style where you pull yourself along the floor but she can easily cross the room to where she wants to go.
Also in the last week she has figured out 2 baby signs..
She says light.. (points to light and clicks her thumb over her pointy finger)
and MILK (opens and closes her hand)
Today we were listening to some music and a song about milk comes on and she started signing to the song!! I was so amazed I nearly cried. It shows how aware she is of what is going on around her.
She has added a new word.. she says 'TA' when you give her something.
She has also found her ears when you ask where they are (we only showed her this for the first time yesterday)
Such a clever girl!

* First Word
Zaria's first proper word is
'DAD'
I gave her the photo off the fridge that has Dean, Vaughan and Shane on it, and she pointed to Dean and very clearly said 'Dad'
Have got it on video camera and then again on my camera (below) so it definately wasn't a fluke.
Also in the last couple of days you can ask her...
Where is Zaria's Head?
Where is Zaria's Puku? (tummy)
Where is Zaria's Toes?
and she knows where they are and pats them. Very Cute!

Zaria's 5th tooth has made an appearance.. (2nd from middle on right) and at the moment her 6th one is giving her a bit of grief and nearly popping through. (2nd from the middle on left)

* Swimming Lessons
We had our third swimming lesson today.
Floating on her back. I never knew that babies were so bouyant. I just have one hand under Zaria's neck and the rest of her just floats.

Floating on her tummy.

This is where we throw the duck across the pool then Zaria has to 'swim' to it.

Zaria loves splashing and is the splashiest out of the whole class.
Most of the time I can't see what the instructor is trying to show us because I have so much water in my face.


Zaria's little friend Isaac. So cute... he is holding her hand.

* Keneperu
We all went to Kenepuru and had a lovely holiday.
Fishing, Kayaking and eating Toasted Marshmallows. Yummmm
Poppa and Zaria watching the remote control yacht from the wharf. (Dean is sailing it)
(Zaria took a bit of a liking to Poppas woolly hat)
A bit of reading after lunch.
Zaria got this really cool ball for Xmas. It has rice inside it so it rattles.
Here she is all happy and singing.
Then she fell over and bumped her head. A very rare sight... Zaria crying, so I had to take a photo. Poor lil button.


Trying to find the lid... its up there somewhere.....
