The Tin Bath

Simple pleasures

At the Garden Safari

Zuva wowed people as we wandered around the gardens on a glorious sunny day.

Bright eyes

What does this face evolve to in 20 years time?

Beach?

She knows the word, and takes us there several times a day when the weather is as nice as it was today.

What can I do with these?

The table is a favourite place to explore.
There's always something interesting there.

Anyone for an exchange?

Zuva helping out on the market stall,
Our Waiheke Food Exchange,
where people share the excess from their gardens.

Robin and Zuva

How lovely to be able to walk to the beach, play for a while, then visit dear friends.

Look!

Behind you!

Books

She's fascinated by books

Ready to go

With Uncle Laurence' gift of a big blue sweater,
Zuva is ready for her trip to the deep South, with her sisters and cousins.

Little Drummer

Maybe it was the fact that she was in the belly while we were in Africa last year,
but she loves to dance and to play drums.

Future Gymnast?

Zuva is unstoppable, and is into everything !

On the move - again

Helping us move again.

We are about to make the fourth move into the fifth house in less than three months! But the truth is we are getting good at it, and are seeing parts of the island we wouldnt have otherwise enjoyed and experienced.

Still very little

As strong as she is,

she is still very little.

Daddy, can I help?

She wants to part of everything,
and as she is so strong she usually is :)

Two Angels

Growing up fast.
Zuva is almost eight months now.

At the goldfish pond

Crawling

She started about three weeks ago - and she is off now. She also pulls herself up to standing without any help. A strong little girl!

Tosca the Rottweiler

Zuva has had the chance to get to know two dogs (a Corgi and a Rottweiler) and a cat, as we have been house sitting for some friends for the last month. They are getting along like a house on fire . . .

A total food experience

I never could figure out why parents thought that their kids looked cute with food all over their face, but now that Zuva is enjoying her first food experience, in a whole body way, I am humbled. . .

This was the result of a blend of Watermelon, Plum and Blueberries :)
Thanks Elise, for the lovely pic.

Gratitude Celebration

Zuva got to wear her sister's special dress for the occasion.

And Kim matched her for beauty and grace.

Sleeping Beauty

An Angel...

...but I'm totally biased.

Moving house

She was very happy playing in the moving box.
