Holly standing in the bath!

Playing with her duckies in the bath
putting one away for later....!! :)
just kidding!
Give us a kiss!

Holly has been trying to stand up in the bath for ages and has finally worked it out. Not sure who was more excited - Holly or Daddy?!
Ta-da!
Giving it a go with one hand now.... she fell over shortly after this pic was taken -oops!
Back on her knees after a small tumble
The main reason she wants to stand in the bath - so she can see herself better in the mirror!

Easter Sunday

Opening her Peter Rabbit easter egg from Great Grandma
ooh, he feels soft!
Doesn't taste like chocolate!?
Waiting for the Easter bunny, so she can thank him for her chocolate eggs

Holly opening her Easter egg from the Lamont family -she got the same set from Aunty Fiona, Uncle Barry, Rhys and Max! Mummy thinks they are gorgeous!
Says chocolate on the box....
Her Easter chicken and egg from the Love family
Eating the wrapper while the egg lays there forgotten...
That's more like it! She gets more like her mother every day....

At the Perth Zoo on Easter Sunday with her cousin Rhys
Rhys, Max and Holly form a Wilson pyramid!
Holly has been coming to yoga with mummy - I didn't realise they taught the kids in the creche. Here Holly perfects "the plank"
Investigating Uncle Barry - if you lie on the ground, you are fair game!
Rhys took this picture of the elephants for me!

Holly's week

Hmmm, wonder what this book says?
Says here I should be sleeping through by now - better not let mum and dad read this!
Crawling around under the table as usual
Keeping the floors clean with her spit (dribble) and polish technique

HELP!!My leg is stuck!
Cheeky monkey!
She has only just started pulling herself to stand in the last week or so
And now takes every opportunity to show off her new moves!
Giving Christina a foot massage in the Captain Stirling
Christina lectures on the dangers of drink...!
Holly was filthy by the time we got home! But she has certainly mastered the art of crawling - she is getting pretty quick!
At home with her hair clip in - so cute!
Showing off her two bottom pegs - she has the two top ones now, but we haven't managed to get a picture!

Holly at 9 months

As you would have seen on previous blogs, Holly is borrowing Christina's play station.
Now that Holly can crawl, she is starting to investigate everything in the house!
She also investigated a delta cream chocolate biscuit that mummy was eating....
Hello!
what's under here?
In the garden with mummy's keys!
delicious!

After wanting to get out of her chair, she now tries to climb back in!
Clever girl!
Careful, Holly!
Hooray!

Holly learns to crawl

Peek-a-boo!
Holly likes to play under the kitchen table!
Busy destroying my trashy magazines
I had to move the bin from the spot she is sitting!
Crawling away from the fridge
I am so clever!
Getting the hang of things...
.... she is pretty quick!

Holly will be 9 months old next week. We have 3 teeth now (2 bottom, 1 top!) that she likes to grind and put mummy on edge, and have been crawling since last week. She is getting pretty fast and I have to chase her around the house! So cute!! She has started to crab crawl, so maybe walking isn't that far off??! Today she stood herself up against the wall outside and couldn't get back down again - so sweet!
