Almost a Year Old

Well it has been quite awhile since we last updated the blog. Things have been pretty hectic. Isabella is growing so quickly and her personality is really coming through. She is quite the determined Miss when she wants something or wants to get somewhere. Marika has been in hospital getting a fibroid removed and is home at the moment recuperating. Jason is busily studying for his exam week which happens to be this week (motivation is a bit of an issue).

Marika came home from hospital on Friday and Isabella decided to test out her walking feet. She has been walking around furniture for quite a while but decided on the next leap and let mummy hold her hands while she walked around. I guess walking under her own steam isn’t far off. We were just talking today about how much she has grown and how independent she is already.

Isabella is turning one in a couple of weeks so we are planning a little 1st Birthday party for her. Grandma and Grandad Bywater are coming for a visit and maybe Aunty Ning as well, so it’ll be an international, I guess it would have been anyhow as some of our friends here are expats.

A few weekends back we had visitors from Oz; an enjoyable weekend was had with our friends Sunita, Andrew and their beautiful daughter Tessa. It was of course hot and humid so we had fun sweating in the sun, especially on our day trip to the zoo. It was fun to see the girls play – Tessa & Bella and Marika & Sunita.
