And she’s off!

Olivia only just started crawling about 2 weeks ago and she’s already trying to stand up all the time! Man! I’m going to need to do some serious babyproofing around this place!

Stone’s adventure walk at Glentui Bush!

We all took a nice family walk today. We’re heading to Aussie soon for a holiday and wanted to try out the new baby backpack. Works like a charm! She didn’t fall out so that’s good! I think the walk was about 3-4km up some fairly steep tracks. Much fun!

Daddys ‘lil helper!

My girl came out to help dad with the gardening today. She was in charge of lawn mowing, but was too little to ride the mower so ate the grass instead.

She was a perfect angel! I also let her play with the BMX bike chain and she taste tested the tyres! Real country girl!

Holiday in Hanmer!

Here’s some photos from our holiday in Hanmer Springs. We went up there for a few days to have a break from CHCH. Had a great time! We were with Rich, Aimee and Nim Poole. They’re pretty cruisy guys to hang with and we managed to do a few fun things. Played in the snow, café’s, bike riding, walks, Indian food and movies.

My personal hilight was convincing Sarah to take a dip (in the snow) at the Hanmer Springs hot pools one night. We just soaked in 37 degree awesomeness until we turned into prunes.

Here’s Jack thinking about throwing a snowball at Rich!

The family climbing a wee bank… Jack slipped down soon after the photo was taken. He loved it though.

I took my boy for an adventure on his bmx and my bike down to the local river. There was a track beside the creek which was pretty muddy so we had a blast of a time. Wore him out nicely!

This is the view from the bach.

We had a pretty hairy drive back from Hanmer. The roads were fairly treacherous but we all got back ok. When we got back though, we were greeted with a totally white Christchurch and even our place was covered!

To end off a great weekend Jack and I made snowmen… Cool eh!

Bouncy Baby Olivia!

We got Olivia a Jolly Jumper off Trademe today. She took to it straight away and loved it so much that she threw a tantrum when we got her off !

Livvy the bubble queen!

One thing I know about my girl is that she definitely loves her baths! We had a slight ‘bubble overdose’ tonight but she wasn’t complaining!

Oops! Livvy lost her face!
