2006 December

Jorja's top teeth have started coming out. After her measles shot, a cold and the teething, her parents are quite worn out, especially at night. She has also started clapping her hands. She is quite vocal and has these long conversations with you in a foreign language. She also knows how to use the sippy cup.

Jorja got baptized at St John's Methodist Church on the 17th.

Kayra now doesn't wear nappies during the day nor the night. There are very few mishaps, so we are almost there. She also has started reciting nursery rhymes, her favourites are Humpty Dumpty, Hey diddle diddle, Ring a Ring a Rosy, and Happy Birthday.

Christmas went well and Kayra loved all the presents. Jorja loved the wrapping paper.

Kayra's 2nd birthday went well considering we had a gale and rain. At the last moment we decided that 15 kids and 30 adults would not work in the garden and cleared the garage for the party. We finished just in time and the kids had a ball. The swimming pool filled with shredded paper was a hit, not much paper stayed in the pool though.

2006 November

Jorja started to crawl on 3 November. Her 2 front lower teeth are out now. She has started putting things in containers.

Kayra is doing well with the potty training, she has very few misses now. She has also started singing, if you can call that. She recites rhymes with a semi tune. She also dresses herself completely now.

We went to Addo for a long weekend. Kayra really enjoyed the animals and is very good at recognising them. Jorja took a while to notice the animals, but at the end she couldn't get enough of them.

2006 October

Jorja has her first teeth. She is also very close to crawling.

Kayra has started potty training in earnest.

The Schoemans came to visit from Durban. Three kids and 2 dogs later the house was quite hectic! Everyone had a great time.

Dad's birthday braai went well, except he was very grumpy, thirsty and tired the next day!

The whole family came down with either diarrhoea or colds.
