Dahlia in June 2007

Here's a photo of Dahlia with our new "Bumbo"chair. It's made of a safe and soft, rubbery material, that holds her well as she sits on chairs, etc. It's a very comfortable little chair and it measn she can sit on our adult chairs easily. She loves it.

The other picture is with Suriani and Dahlia, wearing her winter coat. With the hood on she looks like a little smurf. Dahlia loves going out.

Top right: Here's a photo of Dahlia with her sunglasses (the real thing for babies). It's winter in June and the weather is getting colder.

Bottom right: Dahlia smiling cheekily. We're at the local Glen Waverley Community Centre for Dahlia's immunisation shots. The room is full of parents with babies. The photo was taken on March 2007.

Bottom left: Here's Dahlia after her latest round of immunisation shots in May 2007. She usually has a cry during the actual injection but recovers quickly and starts smiling again very soon....

Museum Victoria Visit June 16, 2007

Here's a few photos from our visit to the Museum Victoria.

Bottom right: Dahlia in our house, smiling as usual when she is being carried.....

The museum had an exhibition titled the "Great Wall of China: Dragons, Dynasties and Warriors". We went with our friends Betty, Richard Wright and their son, Kiefer, who is 20 days older than Dahlia.

The exhibition was good - they even had a genuine terracota warrior from Xian on display (not the ones which we took photos of here.

Dahlia is now 8 months old, weights 6.7kg and is 65.5cm tall. Ever attentive, she loves going out and exploring the world.....

Over the last couple of months, Suriani has been taking Dahlia to "Gymbaroo" which is a gym and playgroup for babies and toddlers. Dahlia loves to play with the swings, a round plank on wheels and enjoys the singing and dancing.
