Trees For Babies

since we planted Eli's TFB tree today, we thought we should get an updated photo of Alexis' tree too! check out the difference two years makes....17 may 06 - the tree is just taller than the stake, and alexis is pretty tiny..

24 may 08 - the tree is off the top of the photo! and alexis is, well, still pretty small compared to the tree, but a lot bigger than she was!

face painting...

by alexis.... not sure what 'look' she was aiming for though..

and by a professional at Trees For Babies - a butterfly! she wasn't too impressed with the process though...

busyness...

helping wash the car...

helping daddy with his Uni technology assignment..

what can you say...

to that?!

*sigh*

but she did pack everything up again neatly once she was finished! lol...

Our little girl is doing amazingly these days, she is learning heaps of new words every day, and is using longer sentences too.. she is adding to her collection of numbers, eight and nine have just joined 1,2,3,4 and 6.. and loves counting things too..
she has learned a bunch of colours now, and can tell the difference between a number and a letter..
she spends ages every day reading books to herself, many of them she has learned some of the dialogue, or the basic storyline, so we can guess what she is reading by listening to her.. she is also always bringing books to us to read to her too, which is really nice to see!
she has recently taken a real liking to Thomas the tank engine, and has worked out how to put our wooden track together.. she loves pushing the little engines around, and particularly likes "taba, purses an gordoh" (thomas, percy & gordon)

and yes, she really likes drawing too.

big girl fun!
