How To Enjoy An Orange Part 2

And you thought all those years, that you knew how to enjoy an orange :)

Poncho Villa

Thats The Butterfly doing her impersonation of a Mexican charmer.

I think she pretty much aced it :)

The T-Shirt Says It All

Definitely the most spoilt child in South Africa, highly plausible in all of Africa, and possibly all of the Northern Hemisphere.

She's not talking yet, and while we cant wait for her to start speaking, we're also a tad nervous at what she's going to say when she does start speaking.

Watch this space!

Wake Up, Or Else...

This is the phases The Butterfly goes through when she's trying to wake me up. First its the attempt at getting my attention by touching my face; then she stares me down until I open my eyes and look at her; if I go back to sleep I get the crabby face, and when all else fails, she pulls my blanket off me and starts ranting and raving!

Have I mentioned how I wouldnt change it for anything in the world? :)

8am And Ready To Start The Day

Of course that doesnt mean that the rest of us are ready to start the day at 8am, but thats of no concern to The Butterfly.

One Month Away

In just over a months time, she's gonna be 1 Year Old !!!

How time flys. It seems like just yesterday when she was this tiny being who could fit in one hand. I was going through the blog the other night, and realised that the best thing I could ever have done was start the blog. Its the perfect way to record, in pictures, her growth through the months.

Its In The Eyes

You can catch a glimpse of her two teeth in the last pic. And boy does she have a mean bite!

My Favourite Pics

Ive decided to start taking pics in a bigger resolution, which means it takes me longer to upload them, but the end result is certainly worth the extra wait.

I love her expressions in these pics :)

Look Who's Baaaaack :)

This is The Butterfly one month since you last saw her.

Progress Report: Well, she's learnt how to dance and shake what her momma gave her ;)
She's also learnt how to say Dada, which means she's already in the 2% of Super-Intelligent childrens bracket. No, seriously :)

The Drawer Monster Strikes Again!!

Guess who learnt to open up drawers?
This means one thing : Mama's Mills & Boons are now fair game and will be chewed on, and Dada's stash of sweets are no longer his alone! Hiding places just got personal!!

Spot The Bunny

This was our shopping trip to Woolies the other day. We couldnt go10 metres without being stopped by some or other shopper wanting to say how cute she looked and how gorgeous she is.

I thought this would be a fitting post to welcome my return to the world of Blog, seeing that i've been missing in action for just shy of a month now. The good news is that my laptops back from being upgraded. The better news is that The Butterfly is even cuter since you last saw her :)

Mitten Hell

I couldnt help but laugh myself to tears while watching her try to pick up the tube, wearing her mittens, and all the while fussing and shouting and getting frustrated at the whole exercise. At one point I swear I heard her mumble "Who the dickens invented these silly finger-warmers?"

When The Tube Is More Interesting

One thing The Butterfly can never be accused of is giving you her undivided attention when you want it. She's proven she's got a mind of her own, and there is no way mself, The Maiden or anyone else is ever going to change that. As my one-time friend Pam and all other Chinese folk would say, "May you live in interesting times" ;)

The Butterfly Welcoming Winter In

Talk about dressing up warm :) She looks like she's ready to tackle the Alpine Slopes.

Here Kitty Kitty Kitty

Something tells me she's going to be a tall gal one day. Oh, have I mentioned cheeky too? Now I wonder where she gets that from? ;)
