Jorja Update...!!!

I just realized that I haven't done a Jorja update in so long.. One of the main reasons I started this blog was to share my family with all my internet friends and also share my fave hobby in the world "scrapbooking"....
Well my little Chubba is getting so big now, she is 9 months old... And so "grown" up. She is really starting to become her "own" person now. She knows what she wants and will scream until she gets it... (kind reminds me of someone...(me)....). She is absolutely in love with her big brother. I just love the way her face "lights" up every morning when Keenan wakes up and comes in the lounge room. Its like a little kids face on Christmas morning. She crawls after him everywhere he goes... Sometimes Keenan just wants to be alone to play with his cars, so he closes the door between the two lounge rooms and poor Chubba bangs her head on the door until he lets her back in ...lol...
Chubba has started pulling herself up on the furniture, the walls. The TV, toys, pretty much anything. Anything she can reach she pulls down and put straight in her mouth. She loves PAPER!!!.... And being a scrapbooker I'm always finding little bits of paper around the house and Jorja seems to find it all... Even the most smallest piece. Last week she took 4 steps along the couch!!!.. Pretty exciting and on the same day she started saying "dad, dad, dad".... Not fair
Jorja still has NO teeth.. Not even one starting to peak though!!!... It seems like she has been teething for so long and nothing to show for it.. I know they will come.
Chubba also started clapping her hands last Friday...While we where out shopping and my really good friend Nic was there to witness the whole event!!!. She looks so cute when she starts clapping.. I just love it. And so does she becasue we all yell out "yeahhhhhh" everything she claps and she loves the attention.








a few other pictures I wanted to share but blogger has started playing up now and wont let me upload any more pics'.... Not happy... Will try and share the others later...

bye for now....
