Julia and her best friend Billy sharing the puppy bed, Billy does not really like the sharing.
Julia started eating 'solid foods', she has rice cereal for breakfast, and either carrots, peas, avocado or gem squash for dinner.
And last week she managed to stand up against the couch all by herself.
Jock loves to be around her all the time, he will just lay right in front of her, and either be cuddled or petted.
Jock has really turned out to be a very good dog, and he is a beautiful boerboel too.
So we decided we want to grow some of our own vegetables, but the problem is that we live on a mountain, meaning the garden is mostly rock. The solution was to construct some raised planting beds, and have a load of topsoil delivered (read: delivered to the driveway, and spend 2 days with a wheelbarrow bringing it down the steps into the garden)
Julia was helping her daddy with constructing the new vegetable beds, the ride in the wheelbarrow was loads of fun.
One of them up, and Julia supervising the works in the back...
This was the biggest job, getting them filled with soil, J2 started planting as soon as the first one was filled up.
From one day to the other we just had all this beautiful 'yellow snow' this tree just changed within one day.
We went to the 1 year birthday party for our little friend Hilma today, Julia's first little friend.
Here is Julia with the birthday girl, I am sure they are gossiping about the other people at the party.
Julia and her mommy (while everyone else is very excited because the birthday cake came out)
Last night there was a big evening, called 'the Greek night out', we went with a few friends, and it was a blast, complete with Greek music, belly dancers, delicious Greek food and.....BABYSITTERS.
oh and of course, what would a Greek night be without throwing plates, opa!!!
This is me and Julia at the Greek night, just before she is going the the babysitters.
Julia received a very nice gift, a beautiful quilt from her auntie S from JC. It has nice and bright colours and African animals.
I am sure she will have loads of fun with this blanket during the summer.So there are some pictures to update everyone on what has been happening with us for the last few weeks. We are of course looking forward to oma Anneke coming over to say hello to her granddaughter in the next months.
In the meantime, I will try and put a few pictures on here more regularly. Our internet connection has been horrible at home for the past weeks, but they have re-aligned our receiver, and promised much faster internet. Lets hope they are right.
