Nanny comes for Dinner

Grandad is away in Auckland doing some training so Nanny got to come for dinner. Bella and Zach thought it was the best thing ever.

Zach wouldn't stop giving Nanny big goofy smiles and she couldn't stop cuddling him.

Bella had fun doing Nanny's hair and playing with her doll's house. After Nanny left she said "It was nice having Nanny over" and in the morning she was still saying in the most excited voice ever "Nanny came for dinner!"

Nanny is off to the South Island for a whole month. We are going to miss her and Grandad lots. Bella asks me at least 5 times a day "When are we going to get to see Nanny?" It is going to seem like Nanny is away forever!

Bella asked me "who is Nanny going to see in the South Island?" I said she was going with "Jill and Don". She said "Jill and Don go up the hill..." then she decided it should be "Jill and Cooper (Jack's brother)...". She kept herself amused for 5 minutes trying out different combinations of names with the rhyme!

Bella Ballerina

For Bella's 2.5 year birthday, Nanny bought her a pretty pink tutu! She thinks it's the best thing ever. She looks so pretty all dressed up with her new ballet shoes that Aunty Sarah got her for Christmas and the hair accessory Brodie bought her.

Sleepy Time

Bella just loves reading books to bunny in bed! It's pretty exhausting work!

My little brother

Bella loves her little brother. She always wants to hold him and have photos with him. It's pretty impossible to get a good photo of both of them at the same time but at least they're looking at the camera in this one!

Zach at 6.5 weeks old

My super cute boy! The midwife measured him this week and guess what's he's tall and skinny like his sister. His hobbit parents have produced a child who is currently in the 91st percentile for height. Long may it may last!

Yarndley's Bush

We took Nanny on a bush walk around Yarnley's Bush. Zach got to try out his new sun hat! Bella loved playing with the tickle ferns, talking to the cows, climbing up the platform and of course spending time with Nanny.

Zach chilling on his playmat

Zach just loves to look at himself in the mirror. He must take after Daddy! Aunty Sarah has lent him a dragon mirror which he thinks is just great!
