Seraphine's First steps!

Yup, yet another milestone! Last week, little Seraphine took her first steps! And she's mightly pleased with herself. We were lucky to have been able to capture the first few tries on camera, and that the weather was good! (but only for that short period. The weather has been just plain miserable. Wet, grey and damp!). As you can tell, she's pretty proud and most tickled to be walking on her own. She ALWAYS has a huge grin and occasionally throws out her big peal of giggle while she's walking and even more when she's falling down.

This is just a short update.. I was just so excited about Angel taking her first steps that I wanted to upload the video. Seems like blogger is having some problems now, so I'm not able to upload any more videos! (been trying for the past afternoon!). So we'll have to make do with just the one video below and some recent pix.

I found the pix of Angel and me sharing a bone just hilarious! Obviously she's just like me and her sister... bone chompers! :). I had made a really nice lamb tajine and threw the bone in for more flavor (and of course having it during lunch was definitely at the back of my mind). Needless to say, I was most tickled when she heartedly started gnawing on it and wouldn't give it back to me!

Finally, some random other photos such as a pix of Angel with her Nanny (i just LOVE that giggle) and a picture of a yummy and yet easy to make strawberry rhubbarb pie! Finally, there is a picture of little Bibou twirling in her new outfit, which I'd just bought as she's going to be a FLOWER GIRL for Aunty Michelle's wedding come August. We'd showed her our wedding video (man did she get ever so excited and amazed to see 'kongkong, mahmah, grumps, mamita, daddy, mummy' on Telly. The first time she saw it, she was just screaming in amazement :oh look Mahmah, Mamita etc') She loves the video and is now watching it over and over again. We've told her that she's gonna be a princess, just like the girls in the video and she's going to walk down in a pretty dress, carrying flowers. Man she hasn't stopped talking about it. she's all so excited. According to Michelle, Bibou's outfit will make her look like a mini'me for the bride. Excellent. Here's praying that she'll behave at the wedding!!!!

Oh any Aunty Annette is spot on about Bibou and I've got absolutely no doubt that she will be into dressing up and make up when she's older...or rather her passion for them will get even bigger. She's already pushing to wear make-up as she sees me wearing it very working day. Each night, when I return, she'd ask "you have make up?"

Right, here's a quick video of her first steps. We weren't able to capture a better one unfortunately as it was nap time and she was ready for her nap. She still was quite cheerful though, just falling over too quickly which she found hilarious!

Recently, we've just noticed that when Angel she doesn't want something, she will vigorously shake her head, such as at the dining table. Unfortunately, the video of her shaking her head didn't come out well. Here's the video taken prior, with her still wanting to eat, being absoluately tickled that she's on camera and waving byebye to everyone.

And finally, a video of the girls goofing around in the garden. Aren't they sweet together?
