At Paddy's market

SV and KT took a ride to Paddy's Market with Grandma Marta so she could do a bit of shopping before going home. After their shop TV joined them and they all walked to dinner, of course SV wanted to keep walking and so they ended up doing two laps around the shopping centre before they could sit down and eat.

Whoa, this is some good stuff. Bartender give me another.

Oh yeah, that's the stuff. Keep 'em coming.

Now for a little game of craps. Come on lucky number 7!

***Disclaimer*** Please note SV actually only consumed water and shellfish in the making of this set of photographs, however, craps she may have played. (Thank you Uncle Jonathan for teaching us that.)

Baby Thomas' house party

SV and co. went over to visit baby Thomas as part of his birthday and to see his house where SV will be spending time in the near future when both KT and TV have to be at work. Here are some photographs from the experience.

"I don't mind this at all"

"Say kid, what are you doing crawling around on the floor when you could be walking?"

SV walking

Here is a short video from last week showing SV using those legs and core muscles to take a few steps on her own. She certainly enjoyed herself.

In the Italian Forum

We went out for dinner at the Italian Forum which is in our neighbourhood. It was great because it was a lovely warm evening and SV could walk around without fear before tucking into a good Italian dinner. She also made sure to eat some fruit and veg too. She is really progressing with her walking right now and it's just about all she wants to do.

Pool party

On the weekend Leah invited us to her mom Linda's and stepdad Norman's new house which over looks the harbour. What a stunning place it is and it even had a pool which SV naturally had to get it. It was a barbeque because Leah was heading back to Singapore and we weren't sure when she will be back. It was good to see everyone including Adam and Carlos. Of course SV enjoyed the swim even when she was getting blue and shivering. Thank you Linda and Norman for hosting us all.

Dropping Grandma Marta off

After an eventful month we have to say good bye to Grandma Marta at the airport as she heads home. During the month she has been here SV had some big steps in development and literally as she started walking. The latest development is another tooth poking out, and the 8th being right behind, probably coming through tomorrow.

Breaky and some random photographs

Crazy breaky time resulted in some hilarious photographs. Even Grandpa Brad got into the action via Skype. Have a look and see. There are also photographs of SV conducting business from various locations including her Japan-a-pram.
