Eliza and her cousin Mia hanging out together.

I scream for ice cream!

Mummy is teaching the little one all the important lessons in life......like how to eat ice cream.

Playing with her magnadoodle in the back of the car.

Eliza perusing the book case for a bit of light reading.

Fashion concious baby! She LOVES Dora the explorer!

Eliza with Grandpa at the zoo.

The lounge ain't big enough for the two of 'em. It's out with Big Ted and in with Little Ted!

Just checking to make sure her feet are still there!

I really need to put a video up of Eliza on her racing zebra! It bounces up and down and spins around and she absolutely hammers it...yeehah!

The little monkey loves climbing!

Dad and Eliza about to head off for a walk to the playground at the local school. Bubs loves to get into the baby back pack and head off into the great outdoors!

Mum and daughter hanging out.

Eliza got a bit spoilt last christmas. Here she is playing with her toy kitchen from Nanna and Grandpa Caudle.

Eliza got a ball pit for Christmas which she really loved until it popped under mysterious circumstances (Dad's official position is that he has no recollection of the events associated with the popping of the inflatable ball pit). Check out the Punkostatic hairdo - no gel required!

Don't let the expression fool you - Eliza startled herself by breaking the end of the box with her gigantic baby feet. This may not be as good as sitting in a box with a book but it actually comes pretty close.

I forgot - there is one thing better then sitting in a box and that's sitting in a box reading a book!

There is no greater joy then sitting in a box! Seriously, if there is a box (and it doesn't have to be empty) then Eliza is trying to climb into it!

Eliza is still fascinated whenever the camera comes out which makes it very hard to get photos of her doing things because she'll usually stop what she is doing and come over to try and get the camera.

Eliza kicking back on her lounge and taking it easy!

It's been a long time between posts - sorry about that, things have been somewhat hectic! I will try to edit some video footage at some stage in the near future. Obviously the little monster has grown considerably. She has a vocab of about 30-50 words and is just starting to string them together eg Dad is great, Dad you're terrific and Dad I want to be just like you when I grow up! She's turned into a real little monkey and will climb anything. She continues to be a really happy baby and is just starting potty training. The only trouble we tend to have is getting her to go to sleep sometimes. Eliza is really into books and loves sitting on her little lounge or in bed and looking at her books
