On Saturday we had Servaas's wedding (see previous post) and on Sunday it was Tamerin's birthday party nr 1 and the sending off of H.P. and his outreach team as they prepared to go into Africa. Tamerin's party nr 2 was on her birthday i.e. Tuesday. In between all the parties gifts and other paraphenalia had to be bought: all and all we've been quite busy and have not been able to the supportive grandparents we would have liked to be! However, I had to drop off some medicine for Thelwyn on Monday, so I looked after Martelize for 1 and 1/2 hours between nanny leaving and (sick) mommy arriving from work.
Martelize had a runny nose, but was generally in good spirits.
Her nanny had bathed her and dressed her in pretty pink, but her feet and tummy were getting cold on the tiles, so I looked in her cupboard for a vest and some socks. I marvelled again at all the pretty baby clothes and little dresses - some that once were Thelwyn's.
She sits quite sturdily now, even in her swinging cot, but I won't trust her to sit by herself on a hard floor yet. (Ouma's choice of socks, matches her purple room and they were quite practical for crawling, but I am not so sure they are the ones Thelwyn would have chosen for this pretty pink set - Thelwyn is very particular!)
6 Months and 3 weeks.
She leopard crawls now. She still "moans" and "groans" a bit when she crawls, but is less frustrated than when I last saw her.

How good to have a grandmother when one is sick. I do not know how much for the grandchild but definitely for the parents!
Dis sommer vir almal net die beste ding, Retha!
Sterkte en beterskap vir almal toegewens.
Hoop almal is sommer gou-gou weer beter. Jou kleindogter word nou vinnig groot.
Ag hene, Martilize is te oulik. Hoop sy voel sommer gou gou weer beter. Die sokkies is perfek! Mooi bly.
Ek hoop ook almal word gou gesond!!
*hugs*
Dis so sleg as die kelingoed siek word. Beterskap vir almal. Ek het ook deurgeloop met die griep aan die kant. Dis niks fun nie. Die kruipery is te dierbaar en ek hou baie van die sokkies. Dit sou my keuse ook wees..:-)
I hope your crew is getting better! We have some yucky stuff going through our family right now, too.
Hi Everyone!
Thank you for the good wishes. I am happy to report that the L's are better, but Thelwyn and Frans were still feverish this weekend. At least Martelize is better - according to Thelwyn. Thelwyn herself still sounds very sick, but at least I can now HEAR her again - for a few days I couldn't hear her at all over the telephone - we had to communicate through SMS's.
Keep well - Charmaine and Kelly, I hope you guys are all better by now.
