My special tea cup for my birth month
It was a LOVELY party - we are so blessed to have been showered with so many gorgeous gifts and it was great to see everyone and introduce Genevieve :)
You got a chance to wear your outfit from Daddy which was too warm for Australia!
While in Minnesota you learned how to grip small objects (like the tie on your jacket)
You are also giggling now not only at us, but also at your toys - your new doll is hilarious (apparently!)
You also learned to recognise Grandma - you were always happy to say hello!
You also have noticed your feet - especially when you have socks on - you LOVE to kick kick kick!
You have also found your thumb - you stick it in your mouth (left hand only though!) when you want to comfort yourself - very very cute.
You also now LOVE your toys - you love to be entertained - especially in the bath :) You just aren't happy for me to just sing to you anymore - you need toys too!
You have had a great trip to Minnesota! You loved meeting and getting to know everyone :)
