Photo update

Time seems to be something that passes by so much faster these days. I am sorry for being so quite with my blogs. 
Chanette is almost 21 months and she is discovering so many new things. Talking in her own sweet way and saying so many words now. It is so cute to hear her having a conversation when she does not know i can hear her and she talks with her dolls or say all of the names she knows like "oupa, ouma, daddy, mamma....and then she says my parent's dog's name "shadow" and she names her aunties and uncles....not all of their names exactly right but she tries ;)
She understands so well now and it is amazing how she looks at us and "copies" us. Just makes me realize again how big a role model we are and should be to our children.

Here she is with Shadow :)


The two of us on Mother's Day :)
So very blessed to have my girly to share it with!

She simply LOVES "Winnie the Pooh's Heffalump Movie"
hehehe :)
It is so hard to find decent movies for children...i am not much into showing movies...but when we do find something that is nice it is good to make it part of the collection (especially for those moments when it helps to keep them still)


Another funfilled visit with her cousin Luzelle :)


A mattress we have for her in our bedroom during the winter....this is how she fell asleep one afternoon :):):)

Another moment with the laptop...she enjoys pushing buttons and pulling it on her lap...lol!

I saw my cousin again after quite some time and we got to catch up a bit! :)
Here we are with our girls!


Playing with her cousin Kayla :)
(6 months old)



Outside is the best place for her to be! She simply loves running around and getting rid of all the extra energy. But her outside time is more limited now during winter...very cold. 



On the back of her Uncle Piet's truck (bakkie)


Exploring again...hahaha! She is at a stage where her toys are not as interesting as Mommy's books and tupperware cupboard! But i don't mind :)


Sleeping beauty :)


She got a new bed this week from her Aunty Chandre :) and she simply loves it! She even helped her Daddy to assemble it.

Latest photos before the holidays! :)

My mother-in-law made this cute sheep for Chanette! I just love it :) It is just a stuffed sheep...and it looks so cute in her cot. It lies down and rests against the cot or her pillow. It is my dad's birthday and one of my sister's in December. So we went out for dinner on the 16th of Dec to celebrate :) My dear parents! My sister Chantel's little girl, Luzelle. They had a photoshoot....simply adorable!!! :) She lights up my life! :) I thank God for you every day my darling Chanette!!! :) This was taken today...at the age of 15 weeks and 4 days :) We will be leaving for Cape Town next week Wednesday for a short holiday and to attend a wedding! Really looking forward to it! I will be sure to post pics and news about it all when we get back in January! God bless you all dear family and friends :) Happy New Year and enjoy the holidays with your families! May God be with you xxx Hugs :) Leana and Chanette ;)

A quick photoshoot :):):)

Looking at the leaves and birds :) She fills my heart with so much love <3 The joys of being a child :) So carefree and simply gorgeous!

19 weeks...update! :)

Morning from cold but yet sunny South Africa! This week is my 19 weeks mark...time sure is going faster now. And i am loving being pregnant! :) For the first time i can actually enjoy it all! I went for my last scan about 2 weeks ago and we found out it's a GIRL!!! So exciting :D Her name will be Chanette...i read a series of books before we got married and this was the author's name and i just loved it immediately! So we got our first pink outfit from my parents and now the shopping can begin! hehe! I felt Chanette move on Saturday...it was such an amazing feeling...wow! I have felt some movements before but always thought maybe it's just my stomach or i'm hungry...never strong enough to think it's actually baby moving. But this weekend it was so real! :) I am loving the idea of a little person growing inside of me and knowing that i will have the privalege to be her momma!!! :) Other than that it's going well here in SA...it's autumn now so g...
