Now I have to say.....I really like my baby gym. From my Auntie Catherine, Uncle Gary and my cousin Ella Bella in the far away land of New Zealand. I'm checking the mobile out trying to grab it but I'm just not strong enough yet....hopefully in a few months.......

Look at me. I can sleep on the sofa too.....and on my tummy....with granny Val's beanie - sweet hey.....

O not again.....Dad loves putting me on my tummy - probably becuase mom tells him and she thinks shes a clever OT who knows these things. She seems to think its good for me.

I think its tiring so.....I guess well....its sleep time again. Whats new.......

Dad and me were playing. I was trying to pull dads thumb off but dads a bit strong so I fell asleep while trying.....oh well I will show him in a little while (12 years or so)

Heres me with mommy and doggy (for those who dont know I'm the small person in the white sheet with the open mouth!!!)

And now Im asleep in the crib. Been quite sleepy you know. But I do need quite a lot of sleep (some say 18 hours). But I also have my play time with mommy and daddy and even granny too!!!

Me in my new crib...not quite asleep yet and so cute I look.....

Who said babies don't smile - check ME :-) out

The easy life.....dad takes time out with baby Tamara - so casual these African Hospitals are hey!

And mom with baby Tamara after supper....Is that a hint of a smile there!!!! Oh no more like a serious case of a nap attack (for Tamara not Wendy - what a surprise!!!)

Dad with his little girl before supper!!!!!

.........she checks out the world.....so small and helpless but safe......mom was still in surgery while dad was looking after his little girl and taking this photo

From safely in the incubator.....

.....Dad holds his little girl for the 1st time.......never had this kind of responsibility before......and shows her to mom.....she has already learnt how to cry!!!!!

The day arrives but not without its share of anxiety....before this moment Wendy had been walking around the block at home and the shopping centre - all to encourage Tamara to come out.....Here sister in law Lauren puts her medical skills to good use to get precious little Tamara out of her warm home in Wendy's womb into the cold operating theatre air......
