Holly is 15 months old!

Holly and Christina at the zoo. What is Holly pointing at??
Ah, a "Doddy!!" - the Dingo being taken for a walk
Holly, Christina and Cameron all bored senseless by the tiger :)
Holly on the carousel - she loved it and kicked her legs like mad the whole time she was on it! :)
Looking very windswept and interesting sitting on her horse - the carousel went at a fair speed!
"Livin' in a box (livin") Livin' in a cardboard box"
Holly had fun playing in an empty box
She had been drawing some pictures earlier and still has texta on her face...

Time to get out (and check out the camera as it turns out)

Because Aunty Da is bored at work....

After having a spate of colds lately, Holly has learnt how to lick the snot from under her nose - ewww! We went to the kids sports carnival the other day and Holly found a big teddy bear to play with.
Classic Dorito-covered-face shot.
Mmmmm, chips.....
Helping Mummy to clean the house!
Would love to know what she thinks she is going to do with the hose now she has it in the house.... but I ruined her fun and put it away!
All alone at playgroup the other morning - Holly had a ball as she had the run of all the toys! She managed to climb into this play station by herself!
"I'm all alone..."
Very proud of herself in a big girl's dressing gown from Aunty Da
Having fun in the morning being chased by Daddy!
She kept taking Marks measuring tape :)

Retic 1 - Holly 0...

OK, so I am not a mean mummy - I nipped inside to stir the pasta I was cooking, when Holly took it upon herself to check out the lawn while the sprinklers were on....
I took it upon myself to grab the camera :)
She was actually pretty happy with herself :)
Staring down the offending sprinklers
Absolutely soaking!!

The New Lawn and Puss in Boots....

On the weekend, Chris, John, John and John came to help us lay some lawn. Thankyou for all your help, it looks amazing and Holly can play everywhere now without getting filthy dirty. Thankyou to Grandma and Jamie who took Holly shopping for the day to keep her out from under our feet while we worked in the garden :)
This is what the garden used to look like....
Not much fun for Holly
But look at it now! Holly checking out the new lawn
It makes the garden look massive!
This stuff is great!
Chasing Mummy around the garden
Looking back over the bottom lawn and the paving (excuse the washing on the line!)
Holly wearing her Daddy's motorbike boots
Looking pretty pleased with herself!
Putting the boots on and taking them off kept her amused for ages!
Here you go!

Holly's weekend

It went very quiet one afternoon... I found Holly in the garden...
... trying to escape...
Maybe she will stay?
Checking out the aloe vera
"...rock-a-bye your bear..."
You can't see all of Holly's face here, which is a shame, as she is cracking up laughing :)
Pretty girl!
Looking very cute in one her dresses from Simone
Ah, the camera case as usual!

Holly and her hair-cut

I took Holly to the hair dresser today to get her first "proper" haircut.... we all remember my first horrendous attempt at doing her fringe so I enlisted the help of a professional this time :) Anyway, Holly cried and cried the entire 5 minutes it took to trim her fringe! Perhaps she will just keep it long until she goes to school? Didn't get any photos at the salon as I was too busy keeping her on my lap, and stopping her from grabbing the scissors.... :)


"All Hail....!"
What you lookin' at?
Strange face?
Yay, I can see! No hair infront of my eyes!
