Update...

Niamh is motoring around loving her new independence. She can say a few words now (dadda, mum, ta, boo, that (as in what is that), puss (cat), tickle, shoes, bye-bye, car) and is quite expressive with her 'talking' using hand gestures frequently. She loves giving high 5's. Niamh is becoming quite a character hiding behind the curtain then popping out saying boo, and doing a 'sky-diver' pose on the floor on her tummy with arms and legs up...cute! She is getting good at pointing to nose, eyes and ears when asked.
Niamh has 7 teeth so far. She is doing well at daycare and her teachers comment on her love of reading books, dancing to music and enjoyment of being outside exploring. Another term of swimming is nearly up and Niamh has really grown in confidence with being in the water.
It's been a bit of a wet winter so far but we have tried to get out and about. For Queens birthday we went down to Stratford for the weekend. It was a bit of a loooooooong way with a toddler but we did manage it. Lately we have been to Grandad's birthday and Ella's 3rd birthday party and have been on the Glenbrook stream train to Waiuku. Last Sunday we went to Butterfly creek and Niamh just LOVED the animals there.

15 months!

15 months already and with it comes Plunket visits and the jabs! Niamh is now 9.5 kg and 72.5cm tall. Just a petite thing :). The jabs went really well considering it was 3 injections this time. The nurses do them all at once which is a lot but quite a good way to get them all done and dusted. Niamh coped sooooo well. She did scream when they went in but a few distractions later and she was all good. So brave!
