Stella has been a busy little girl! ..she is learning so much
every day -- she can wave back, clap, shake her head & have
'conversations' (a sound from her - copied by me -- it's actually
more a call and response game than a conversation at this point!).
She has also become more interested in toys and gets excited when she
sees certain ones. Shakers still remain her favorite!
On the 10th of April, Stella got a new Cousin: James!
We've been spending lots of time at Fish Hoek
(Dad and Stella at lunch)
..and Stella discovered Dollies!
(Thank you Gracie for lending us your dollie for the visit)
A cold May day... tea at The Bluewater Cafe, Imhoff Farm

We went on our first proper holiday with Stella this past week... we drove to Mossel Bay to visit Nanny and Bumpa where Stella crawled properly for the first time!
We had tea with Gogo:

We had lunch with JW and Eloise & met little Luka for the first time.

Being on holiday can be so tiring!
Lovely lunch near the Mohair shop
We went to MonkeyLand (which was amazing) and then on to Jeffreys Bay...
We stayed at a really great self-catering
place called the Zen Guesthouse
While we were in the area, we took a trip out to Cape St.Francis
