Death to Crackers

Renatah tried to stuff the big pieces of cracker into her mouth but found that if she beat the cracker to itty bitty bits it was eaiser. Not a good day to be a cracker!

Renatah says YAY!!

the toothless grin

yep ... 9 months old and still no teeth. Aparently it's a typical Ohlson trait so we aren't too worried. I realised the other day - I think I will be a little sad when teeth do start to appear! We are growing very fond of Renatah's gummy smiles and noises. She continues to 'teethe' every once in a while, but it still hasn't produced any pearly whites!

We miss our Gramps and Nonny

You have been gone for just over 3 weeks and we miss you terribly. Looking back at all the photos of your time here makes us happy and sad.

Thanks for coming - come back soon!!

our 'water baby'

Once again tapping into her Aussie roots our little girl is proving to be a water baby. She loves her baths and splashes in the paddle pool ... last week we introduced her to 'the big pool'. It was a wonderful experience. She seemed to enjoy the freedom of the floating device in the shallow parts where her feet could touch the ground. I was impressed by her calm reaction to going 'underwater' for a second or two and delighted that she would 'fall' into my arms and into the water when we put her on the side of the pool.

I can't wait to introduce her to the beautiful Australian beaches at the end of the year!

Every baby needs a photo in the laundry basket!

Renatah did have a fun time for a few minutes, honestly!! By the time I got the camera out and ready though she was ready to get "out please mumma"!
