Photos!

It has been a while since I blogged, so here are some pictures from the last month.

Halloween - we went to a church carnival and Cassia was a chef.

Too cute not to share

I decided that this picture was too cute not to share, Cassia didn't even make it through dinner without falling asleep after a very fun play date with her friend Shiloh.

Yes, that is ketchup on her face, and an apple in her hand -- try it sometime :)

Staycation

Here are a few photos from our family 'stay'cation.

We went to Mission San Juan Capistrano for a day and enjoyed the pretty flowers and butterflies.

Cassia's first shoe love...

A good pair of shoes is the only accessory a girl needs...

They make you so happy you do a little dance...

But after all that dancing...

You realize that great shoes give you blisters...

18 months!

Cassia had her 18 month check up today. She is 20lbs and 20z (5th percentile) and finally able to turn her car seat around and see out the front window!

She got a pair of sunglasses and a toy shark for being so brave at the Doctor's (her new word of the day).

She is also walking (tentatively) - video to come!

WOW! New house.

Sorry it has been so long since my last post, I have started getting comments about my lack of blogging, so here you go!

We have had an absolutely full month since I last wrote.  We made an offer on a condo and were successful, and had a very quick 30 day escrow (settlement for you Aussies), so we are now moved in!  There has been some minor work to get it a little more to our tastes, but overall it is very livable.  I posted photos to my flickr account, because there were just too many to put up here.  If you cannot see them for some reason let me know.

Hopefully I can get some post move in photos up soon - for now, here is one of Cassia! As you can see the move was exhausting :)

I've been busy!

Hello everyone, 

We have been having a great time with Gran and Poppa.  Poppa went home last weekend, but Gran stayed behind for a little longer to get in some extra cuddles. 

Here are a few pictures from the last two weeks. 

Playing on the couch with Poppa - a set of keys and a cup will keep Cassia going for hours!

With Curious George - it took Cassia a while to warm up to him... 

She still wasn't quite sure about the giant monkey - I think she was wondering where his tail was!

A quick update

Hello admirerers, 

My Gran and Poppa are on a plane to come and visit me right now.  I plan on keeping them really busy for the next few weeks, so I probably wont have too much time to write about my adventures, but I will try.

Also, my Mummy and Daddy are trying to buy me a condo right now, so I will keep you posted on that when I scribble on the dotted line. 

To keep you going here is a little photo of me.  

xoxo Cassia

Boogie Baby

As you all know, Cassia has great dance moves -- here are some of her latest.

Party animal and a Mac

It has been a while since I wrote anything! We have been busy. 

Last weekend was a surprise party for my father-in-law Peter's 50th birthday!  Here is a photo of Cassia all dressed up for the party. (note the piggie tails!)

As well as that we have been having some computer issues, and have finally made the switch to Mac, replacing our virus ridden PC.  So far, so good... I am still finding my way around, so if anyone is fluent in Mac and wants to help out - let me know!

I have also been busy posting for Gidget Goes Home once a week - go on over here to check it out. 

One more picture to keep you going :) and a video too!

Park Play

Cassia really loves being outside, and we now live nice and close to a park that has pint sized play equipment, perfect for her.

Here are a couple of photos I took of her this week... the swing is her favorite, and the slide is a close second.

She has also decided she likes driving... here is a photo of her on a little car at a friend's birthday party, it didn't take her too long to work out how to drive herself around and wave to her fans at the same time :)

More blogging

Hi everyone,

I am starting a new venture in blogging!

I will be guest blogging at Gidget Goes Home once a week starting next Monday. My column will feature some tried and true recipes, kitchen tips, and other tidbits I find interesting!

Here is a sneak peek of my first recipe which will be live next Monday.


I encourage you to check it out, and keep your eyes peeled for a fun giveaway coming up soon!

The big ONE!

Yes, Cassia is now one! I cannot quite believe how quickly time flies, but after her party yesterday it hit me that I have a toddler...

Here are a few (okay a lot) photos of her birthday, and her party.

My Party....

More presents? I am spoiled!!!

My friends had fun!
I wore some of them out!

It was the best birthday ever!
Thank you every one for helping us celebrate Cassia's first birthday! We had a wonderful day, and are so blessed with friends and family, near and far, who love our little girl so much!

Koalas and monkeys and turtles, oh my

Last week Cassia and I went to San Diego zoo with our friends Nicole and Gigi!

It was so much fun!

They had a special Australian exhibit, so we got to see Koalas!

Apparently this is how they think we dress in Australia... but to be fair they played the 'Burke's Backyard' theme song, so they had done some research.

And this is adoreable Gigi after she had petted some sheep and goats... she is really good at doing the animal sounds, and even knows that Koala's aren't bears.
