Alina loves Buffy

Alina loves Buffy, our cat, her first word was "Bu" for Buffy. Alina likes to cuddle & stroke Buffy, she gets very excited & talks to the cat, sometimes very loudly. She also tries to put her ears in her mouth when she can :)

Buffy is surprisingly tolerant of Alina, she doesnt run away & lets Alina come close & play.

Sometimes Buffy goes to sleep very high on top of sofa, so Alina cant reach her, or even hides in Alina's room under the sofa as it's normally the quietest room in the house.

Presents

Alina got loads of presens for her first Christmas... from granny she got baby straller so she can push the doll around the house. She enjoyes it very much! Here on the picture she is also showing how she can stand without holding much to something.

From Russian granny she got a rocking horse, it' still a bit too big, but we hope she grows into it one day :)

There were also plenty of toys from cousins, nanny, untie, and even great uncle. We are running out of space, hoping to move to a bigger place soon!

Alina & Xmas tree

Alina likes our Christmas tree decorations, she pickes them up very gently or pushes them to swing. Once she accidently removed the ball from the tree, and looked very guilty as couldnt put it back.

Alina chatting to dad

This weekend Alina was talking non-stop. Somehow she & John can make an intelligent conversation between them. She sais something like: "ble-ble-blaaa", and John with a serious face replies "bla-bla". Alina then continues to make even longer speach.
I've tried to do the same, but apparently its only daddy who can speak proper baby language in our family. With me she does not reply....

Alina likes to pose for the camera

Alina now likes to pose for the camera. She smiles when she is asked to, and likes the pictures being taken.

The first snow

It was snowing heavily last night, and the snow stayed till the morning. I took Alina our for a short walk, so she can see her first snow. Her cheeks went all red as it's cold outside, but think she enjoyed it. Dont think she realises what the snow is yet.
