Bee with Liv

• Age: 18 months
• Weight: 10.2 kg (22 lbs 7 oz)
• Average hours of sleep: 11 1/2 at night, a single 2 hour nap at lunchtime
• Latest tricks: FINALLY a few steps unaided, swim lessons, more words (bee, park, pasta, potatoes, apples, ta, amen), more signing (swings, kisses, amen)

As a treat for her 18 month birthday (OK, actually, because WE wanted to), we got Livia a Bee Wheelybug. These great little ride-on toys are locally made and have been Toy of the Year a bazillion times in Australia. We'd originally wanted to get her the ladybird one (see here: http://www.wheelybug.com/products.html) but she made up her own mind in the store.

B with Liv!

Aunty Bridget (aka 'B') from NZ came for the long weekend, and to celebrate, Livia took her first few faltering steps unaided. Although we have not captured it on video yet, here are a few pics of other things we got up to...

A change of photographer
Icecream, guess who's the preggy one?

Liv samples a new food
And immediately lets us know what she thinks! (She's signing 'more')
