Thanda update

Just various pics of Thanda taken in the past week or so.

Thanda in her new walker.


Toes, guaranteed to offer hours of amusement.


Having fun on the swings again.


Making a self-portrait together.


With Mum & Diesel in the playground.


Relaxing in the tub!


Tired out from playing with her toys.


Going for her first swim.

Sunday in Durban Botanical Gardens

Last Sunday we had a little family outing and picnic in the Durban Botanical Gardens.

Thanda investigating the Orchid House...


...and investigating it with Mum.


Pelicans are a common sight in the gardens.....


...as are Monkeys. This little fellow was only too happy to pose for a picture.


It is also a popular venue for wedding photographers....


...and even if you don't have a wedding to shoot there is plenty of material for photographing.

Some more pictures of Thanda's first week with us

Thanda trying out one of the swings that is in the children's playground behind our house.


Diesel is still unsure about this newcomer to the household. Here he makes an exploratory sniff of his rival for parental attention.


Her favourite toy is Kroc (I chose this particular spelling in honour of Ray Kroc)


Looks like she's trying to pull Tracy's face off here?


Nodding off to sleep in Mums arms.


Meeting 'Honorary' grandparents Colin & Allyson for the first time.




Watching her first NASCAR race on ESPN, the Kobalt Tools 400 from Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Thanda meets the grandparents

Fortunately Tracy's parents live only a 15 minute walk away from our home so the first day Thanda was home we took her up to visit.

Walking through the park that separates our houses.


Tracy's Mum and her first grandchild.




In Tracy's parents garden. Casey, their Lab getting in on the action.


Grandpa making a closer inspection.

Thanda's first day with us at home

Thanda and Tracy shortly after we arrived at our house from picking Thanda up at Sheperds Keep on Monday morning.


Having a bottle.


She is teething at the moment which means she tries to eat everything, including herself!


Mummy feeding.


Always something in her mouth.
