Walking already?


No, but I try to stand up, good mummy holding me so I don't fall backwards! Don't I look good though?!

Bling bling shoes!

Today Isabella got her a pair of cool bling bling shoes from California! The day she walks they will lighten up for every step....so cool. I looked for a pair like this for a long time but couldn't find them. I also look for the one with a small wheel at the heel so kids can run and then glide on the shoes on a plain surface!!! I know a few kids who would love that!!!

Market in action.

Lots of people visited the yearly market, where they sold Asian, Italian, Greek food, coffee, tea, biscuits, icecream, fruits, flowers, babyclothes, knitted blankets, gymnastic, dog show, horseridimg, bookselling, lottery.......the usual stuff but it was fun!

Mum happy!

Yeah, it worked, Bella i sleeping!

Picknick at the market.


Mum tries to get Isabella to sleep after a hot day at the market!

Snoozing

Isabella is snoozing after a nice bath and a busy day. Blankett comes from Old Timers Nursinghome and their market they have once a year!!!

Bath nr 2

Me again in full figure!
I look like one of these paper candy holder my great grandparents got candy in! Hi hi hi (strut!?).

Another bath!

In the Australian flag! Isabella loves the warm water so she can kick her little legs freely!

Pedestrian area in central Alice


Every sunday the aboriginal women sell paintings under this tree, mostly to tourists. The black dog is wild.

Very busy day: pooping, peeing, eating, listen to mozart, change clothes and nappies, eating, screaming, looking at dad, lifting up head from stomach position, eating, peeing, looking around, kicking legs, talking, peeing, eating.....then finaly sleeping on mums soft warm stomach! and it's still only 11.00, the day will be long...

Sweet dreams!

Me and mum

Today I am 5 weeks old and only getting bigger for every day! There is clothes I can't wear now...I better slow down my growing spurt! I love to make new nosies and talk to mum and dad!

Are we under attack?

No, it's just the yearly walk through the city (aprox 300m) of the sailors from Darwin. Lot's of people from Alice Springs went out to se them march their 300 m, say hi to the mayor and then go shopping! The event lasted for about 15 minutes! What a show...but we where pretty exited by it. Time to move on south to the bigger city!?

New bear!

Dream time!

Guess what I'am dreaming about....can you see my smile? Today I smiled for the first time to mum and to a toy! pretty funny! Eyes still get crossed when I have been awake for a while and try to concentrate to look at all the intressting things around me!

Calm and cool!

After a warm relaxation bath Isabella feels pretty relaxed and stretch out for a while happy not to be packed into clothes, dipers and blankets!

Weekly progress.

At the community health center today Isabella weight is: 3960 kg a boost of eating since last week when she was "only" 3680 kg. Her length is 54 cm and head 35 cm. She has already grown out of some of the clothes......

In general her weight is medium, length more then medium and head a little smaller then medium! So she will be a tall girl with a small head.....hi hi hi, the most cutest of them all!

Mums and Isabellas hand!
