Lara @ Gymbaroo




Lara and I have been going to Gymbaroo for the whole term. It was really fun! We really enjoyed the equipments and the fun things the instructor taught us. Lara loved being upside down, music time and baby massages, most of all, she loved the equipment. She has learnt to crawl, pull herself up and climb up stairs all the term! She is doing great!!

Play time



These photos are some of my favorites of Lara

Miss Potter (2006)

Reed and I recently watched The Miss Potter movie. It was absolutely brilliant. I am so into Beatrix Potter's story books now. I have included a few links for any information on the movie or Beatrix Potter's work. You can get a big book with all 23 tales, that is what I am going to get ($24 US). It is cheaper than getting 23 little books ($100 US), however, the little books would be easier for little children. You can also get baby board books.

Lara the Pooh

Lara was in her Winnie the Pooh Pj and in Reed's slippers. Doesn't she look gorgeous?









Bob The Builder party

Aimee, Reed's sister celebrated her 35th birthday last Saturday. It was awesome. You might wonder why she is having a Bob the builder party. Well.. Her and her husband are building a house in their backyard. Since her backyard is a building site, she decided to have a Bob the builder party. The party was catered for all ages, there was a jumping castle! We all had a great time.
I took this photo before we went to the party. I like this because it was one of the cutest Lara's crying face. HAHA. She is saying, "Mum, can we stop this now? We have already taken 20 photos!!"
Another gorgeous family photo. =)

Lara was playing in her toy box. She gave us a funny gold fish face. So cute!

Reed and Lara on the trampoline together for the first time!

Friends from mothers group

Lara and I will truly miss our mothers group. We had lots of fun with the ladies and the babies. We started going to mothers group since Lara was 8 weeks old. It has been really fun. Allison xoxo
Lara and Heidi, Heidi was born three days before Lara. They are the closest when it comes to development. They both just have teeth!
Elijah and Rachel, Elijah is the eldest of all babies. He can walk, talk and copy what you do and say!
Elise and Elias (left), Elias has a few complications from birth. Things has been really tough for Elise but she is doing a fantastic job with Elias. She is always positive and happy and awake! Lisa and Dion (right), Lisa is really nice and her baby is the tallest of the group!

Ryan, Laura and Chelsea, Ryan is Laura's baby, he is so cute! He is always FULL of energy, he doesn't stop! Laura is just wonderful, she is always encouraging and happy. Joanne (not in picture) is Chelsea's mum, she always come up with the best topic to talk about. I have learnt a lot from her!

Margit is Heidi's mum, she is just so nice. We get along real well. I think because both of our babies don't sleep well and both of us feed the babies to sleep and rock them to sleep. We will get the sleeping right with our next baby!!
Lara and Elias

Fathers Day


Dale, Cherie, Lara and Seanna

Grandpa Owen, Grandma Valerie and Lara

W
e celebrated Reed's first fathers day at Blackburn with the Clark family. We had a good meal and spent a good night together. Lara get to have a bath with Seanna, her 3.5 year old cousin, she didn't quite enjoy it but oh well.









Like the Mexican hat? It was meant for Cherie's dog Monty, who said it has to be for a dog? It looked so funny on Lara.


How come babies like to crawl on the floor?? It is not comfortable at all!!! Seanna doesn't look too comfy! Allison xoxo
