An irrisistable 3 1/2 month old baby girl


Finally a photo to show that Martelize can easily roll onto her side.

Hugging her giraffe. Thelwyn regularly changes her toys. In the back is the "feely" blanket that Karin has made her.
After Sunday lunch... Frans seems ready for a nap, but Martelize is wide awake. Quite content to lie on her Daddy though.

A little later he put her on a blanket so that she could kick and roll. No-one could resist this cute little baby on the floor. Here is Hendrik playing with Martelize and Eyore - a soft toy found in a packet of nappies and one of her favourite toys.

Jan on his way to the kitchen also stopped at the "Martelize station" for a while. Oupa het 'n groot mond en al is sy hare kort kan sy dit trek!



Finally it was Thelwyn's turn to play with her. There is no-one like my mommy!
I have finally learnt how to take a video! (Ek is maar baie dom met sulke goed! Wens ek het nou die dag vir Franco gevideo toe hy so gelag het!). Hope you enjoy her babbling as much as we do!

Sy is te cute! Die geselsies is so so kosbaar! En WAT het ons met al ons tyd gedoen voor hulle tweetjies gekom het?

Miekie,

I loved reading your thoughts this morning and how you are purposefully posting for your grandchildren. That will be a special gift.

When my paternal grandmother passed away I would have given anything to have something like what you are doing.

I posted your thoughts in the comment section. I thought they were important to share with the readers coming in from "Carmi's Web Theme" Some on there are grandparents too!

Thanks again,

Beth

Jaaa op alles: op hoe pragtig hierdie ou mensie is; oor hoe ons gedink het ons is vreeeslik besig voor ons klein tydvreterjies gekom het; op hoe kosbaar gedeelde herinneringe is. Saamgevat dring dit deur tot by die kern van menswees, né.

Miekie dis so waar, gedeelde herinneringe is kosbaar, geen geld sal dit ooit kan koop nie!

Hi Jan en Miekie, ai het ek nou lekker gekuier op jou blog... so deur die reen en die kleingoed se dingetjies heen. Julle plaas lyk pragtig en die kleinkinders is opvreetbaar oulik.

Die klein meisie word nou groot en sy's baie oulik. Wat sou ons oumas met 'n blog gedoen het ... hulle kon net foto's wys as mens by hulle kuier. Ons is darem bevoorreg met al hierdie tegnologie
