Eoin and Brendan playing

Marathon runners

Amanda and Brendan ran the half marathon a couple of weeks ago. Both did brilliantly and completed the course in good times. Well done!!

We met up with them afterwards and had lunch. Andrew ordered a baby cino for Eoin, and before you could say "boo", Eoin had grabbed the marshmallow that came with it. Apparently SOME people used to steal it from him : )

Our gorgeous princess















































This photo makes us laugh, when we handed her the rattle, she grabbed it, and then was holding it like a scepter. Like a Miss Australia or Miss Universe!! (hahaha, we're not biased at all)





Mum, look how big I am!!!






































First attempt at crawling.



Beautiful Hannah

Hannah was home on the weekend and she came over for some home made sushi. At first she wasn't so sure, but she was quickly grabbing as many as she could. She loved it, but then again, she is half a "Lau", of course she is going to love food!!!

These are actually photos from 2-3 weeks ago, which we haven't been able to process on the computer. We have been having some storage issues since Sally takes a few hundred photos of Caitlin a day (not to mention loads of videos)!!

Our little girl is growing up quickly and learning lots of new party tricks like grabbing things, pointing, half rolling over, giggling, small attempts at crawling.








Family

Sophia, Honoria and Sally managed a rare afternoon off together recently and had a "Sisters Afternoon".




Jeremy and Hannah have been away nearly 3 months now, so it's good to see them on the odd weekend when they're home.

Caitlin giggling and talking

Caitlin turned 100 days old on the weekend, and made the day more memorable by giggling for the first time. It was such a beautiful sound, and it was fantastic that both of us were there at the time. She is also "talking" lots, but usually not in front of the camera.

Videos

We bought Caitlin a musical mobile when she moved from her bassinet to her cot 3 weeks ago.

The first video is of her seeing the mobile for the first time. She was so excited she waved her chubby little arms and legs wildly.

(Video) Musical mobile - first time




(Video) The musical mobile stopped..... and then switched on again.

BBQ

We hosted a Grand Final BBQ at our place last weekend. Sally's team was in the final, but we won't say anymore on the topic.

It was great fun to see everyone. Caitlin loved all the cuddles. She didn't want to go to sleep!!
