nikita update!!

 big cuddles for nikita in the morning

 she just loves her bath time

 she blows bubbles and sticks out her tounge heaps

 look at those eyes!!gorgeous

 we made some ajustments to kingstons bike so he can actually fit it now, hes starting to get the hang of it!

painting i did for Nikita 

 cute overalls that mango used to wear

 playing hockey with the boys, kingston tries to get nikita to hold the stick

 she can pretty much sit up by herself now but...

 she does still wobble over after a while :)

 beautiful outfit from the Fair's, its really a bit to big but i had to try it on and get some pics!!

 soooo cutee!!!!!!and yes she is standing up by her self there, leaning on the couch ever so slightly :)

 my girl

 future artist perhaps??

 such a goof, she often does this with her lips and makes a 'pfffttt' noise with it!

 not sure why these ones are out of order but heres the bike

 oilers top

again with the goofy look!!so cute

so Nikita is 5months already and 14.2pounds
shes such a stong little baby, she loves to suck on her toes, she's not a fan of laying down or her car seat and wants to be upright(standing or sitting) all the time, she dribbles\blows bubbles\sticks her tounge out non-stop, rolls from her back to her tummy, puts everything into her mouth, she's nearly got teeth but not quite, if kingston is in the room she watches him the whole time, love Love LOVE my baby girl!!

Grandfather : Gordon Charles Tombs

I was fortunate enough to see my grandfather while I was home. He passed away on the 14th of jan. It was such a special time together with all the extended family over the time of the funeral. Grandfather was an incredibly special man and has had a huge influence on us all.
