My little Olympic Gold Medalist...

Here is a photo of Cassia wearing her own version of an Olympic wrestling outfit... actually it was an outfit that I once wore and my Mum saved!

And if she doesn't make it in wrestling there is always something that involves flexibility like gymnastics or trampolining...

Video proof - Cassia says 'Dada'

Camping, Surfing and first word...

Just a quick update from the Wright house!

Jason and I spent last week down at San Onofre state beach camping with the youth group. Camp went really well and everyone seemed to have a great time.

Cassia and I were down there for part of the week and managed to accomplish some firsts... I went surfing for the first time. One of the other Pastor's, Bryan, took me out on a 10ft board and I managed to get up! It was really fun and I can now totally understand why surfing is so addicting!
Cassia also had a first, she ate sand. Yummo. My little human food (and non food) disposal thought it was pretty good. Oh dear. Apart from that we have added green beans and carrots to the menu and there are big plans for peaches this week (and pears if I can find some nice organic ones).

Also, a more important first than surfing or sand happened today while I was out... Cassia said "Dada". I was sceptical, thought Jason was making it up, but sure enough, every hour she blurts out "dadadadadadada". Clever baby!

Ah, the adventures of Mommyhood!

6 months today!

My beautiful little girl is 6 months old today! I cannot believe how fast the last 6 months has gone.

Cassia thought she would share a few highlights of the last 6 months.

• A visit from my Gran and Poppa.
• A holiday to Australia for Uncle Chris and Aunt Martine's wedding as well as a visit to nice warm Queensland.
• A trip to Yellowstone National Park where I got to see a Grizzly Bear.
• Learning lots of new things like eating, sitting up and commando crawling.

Here is another video - this time of her mad sitting skills. Still a little wobbly, but getting there. (Martine - check out the t-shirt!)

You know you have Mumnesia when...

So, I think I finally reached the last milestone in knowing that I have Mumnesia...


...I wore two different shoes out of the house.


The worst part was that I did not notice until I was in a changing room trying on a pair of jeans, and had to take my shoes off... one black havaiana sandal, and one beige cobian sandal... two very different shoes.


I was shocked, embarrassed and couldn't stop laughing at myself. I was wondering how many people had noticed and politely pretended nothing was wrong.


The fact that I fit into a smaller size of jeans made me feel slightly better about the mishap.

Apart from my total insanity, we have been having lots of fun this summer, here are a few more pictures of Cassia.

See, she is Australian, she is part Koala.
