As promised: THE PHOTO OF MY FIRST TOOTH! :-)

I hope you can see it....its a bit difficult to catch it on camera.

I got my first Tooth!!!!!!!

On Friday, 19 June 2009 Jade got her first tooth!

It's just out, but you can see and feel it, she is soooooooo cute!
Now she plays with her tongue over her tooth the whole time. Because I was the first to see the tooth, tradition is that I had to buy her a present...so she got a shell with colourful balls and she loves them! :-)

I dont have a photo of her tooth yet, but promise to put one on as soon as we get one.

But here is just another beautiful photo of our precious Angel...

I am waving now....

How cute is she now...
Everyday I look at her with amazement, she is this perfect little human being, that discovers all these things life has to offer, big and small, and I am truly blessed to be apart of this journey with her.

She can now wave! On Saturday the 6th of June she waved for Ouma Nettie, and now when you say Tata Jade, she waves to you. Then suddenly her eye catches her hand's movement and she completely forgets she was waving and then just looks at her hand in awe! She is too cute! :-) Again, no words to describe, none at all, its too overwhelming!

On another note, yesterday was Youth Day, and I am so thankful that Jade is growing up in a country where she can be free to be what she wants, she is free to go to any school, to get a good education. Maybe we can all spare a thought to the children in 1976, on 16 June, that were not as privileged.

I came across this, and I really wanted to share it with you, because it's so unbelievably true, and exactly how I feel about Jade! :-)

Through the eyes of a child...

A phrase I have heard often in my life. Before becoming a mother that phrase probably never meant much to me. But there is something about how a child see's our world. How a child see's other people. How our children see us!

They see things with almost an "unconditional love" lens. They don't view us in color or in stigmas. If only we could look through the eyes of a child ourselves.

God quotes often in the bible about having faith like a child. That if we truly want to see the kingdom of God that we must be like children. We must not look at colours or stigmas. We must love unconditionally as they do.

Our children, as much as they are genetically part of us....they reflect us as well. What we teach them is what they will "know"....but what they see before the teachings of society and life.....is pure.

I thank God everday that I can again see through the eyes of child, in my own child. I see how she looks at everydays things in such excitement. We all need to remember that and recapture that.

Through the eyes of a child...a gift of youth that can forever be ours if we just learn to recapture it. -unknown author-

Have a great rest of the week!

Some photo's of my beautiful Angel!

Thank You God for our Angel!

Blue bulls babe

Seeing that Jade was born on the final of the Currie cup against the Blue Bulls and the Sharks...we can say without a doubt she is a true Blue Bulls babe! (the fact that the bulls lost we will just forget to mention for now...lol)

Attached some photo's of Saturday's Super 14 final, Blue Bulls vs Chiefs and we are PROUD to say the bulls won 61 - 17!! WHAT A GAME!!
