Uncle Dean is a photographer. YAY!

Emma is 10 months old today. These photos were taken last week by uncle Dean (Lyle's brother). She has changed SO much in the last two weeks, all of a sudden I feel like she's well and truly on her way to being a toddler rather than my little baby. We are so delighted by her, what an amazing, undeserved blessing from the Lord!

I love, love, love this photo of my two favourite people!

I think she's practicing her model faces again - "someone walked in the room and you're scared"

Bubble Time

So we made it safely to South Africa - Emma slept for about 4 of the 24 hour trip and grew two teeth...BUT she was amazing, so we are so thankful for the Lords graces!!
Grandma and Grandpa have been glowing since we arrived :) Today we pulled out some bubbles that Granny G bought for Emma, they were quite a hit!

Lyle's new camera flash!

For an early anniversary/Christmas present Lyle received a new camera flash and here are some first attempts with it!

Emma's first pair of shoes, half the time she frowns at them the other half is spent trying to eat them. But I think she likes them.

flying!

cuddles...she was a little over the photo shoot by now

Why we don't let Emma feed herself

Usually when Emma eats she isn't allowed to touch the spoon, her bowl or her mouth . . .but of course finger foods are different! I gave her a teething rusk the other day and this is the result . . . I love that she even has some in her eyelash!
