The weather has been absolutely scorching, we reached over 40 degrees on Thursday! On Friday Nanny and Koro had air conditioning installed in their house... (jealous much?!) here is a picture of Rio enjoying some tummy time in the nice cool air...
Saturday we had a lovely evening with our friends from the Canterbury Kids forums - Sian and Andrew put on a beautiful BBQ (I must say I was most impressed!) and all the kiddies had a fantastic time running round and playing together. Rio had lots of cuddles with everybody, and Rune was into everything - especially Calebs new sandpit (WOW that was impressive!) and the cat Minx who was soooo good, Rune kept giving her kisses and chasing her round, and she tolerated every second of it. What a good girl! Here are a few pics from the day:
"I've had too much fizzy!"
Caleb and Rune - super excited about Minx!
Poor Minx hardly got a moments peace! 
Rio enjoying cuddles with Sian
...and cuddles with Andrew!
Rune having cuddles with Becky.
Rune has been toilet training since Christmas, and has mastered it very quickly - he is completely dry day and night now. What a good boy!! We are so proud of him :)
Monday we saw the Plunket nurse... Rio is a whopping 13lb 14oz! She is tracking along the 55th percentile just nicely - and it is fantastic to see that breastfeeding is giving her absolutely everything she needs. At this age, Rune was fully formula fed after becoming a failure to thrive on my breastmilk (he dropped off the bottom of the Plunket weight charts), and was even having baby rice by now! He was such a hungry baby. Rio is so content and happy with breastmilk - couldnt be more different if they tried!
Rio had her 3 month jabs on Monday too. Poor little poppet! But she was good as gold afterwards, spent the rest of the day cooing and smiling and being generally lovely. Nobody would have known she'd just had a huge needle plunged in each thigh! She has two nasty little bruises now :(
We've also put our names down for a Beagle puppy who is soon to be whelped. We're very excited to welcome this new addition to our family in a couple of months time - we have big plans to show her and make it a family tradition to compete and show our Beagle :) Maybe further down the line we will be able to even breed Beagles! But for now we are excited about the arrival of our little 'Lady' :D
And even MORE news... Grandma Heather has booked her flights to NZ for a visit in October!! We're all very excited about having a 'holiday' with her, seeing some sights, and spending quality time together. It will be soooooo nice for Rune and Rio to spend some time with Grandma - and vice versa! Rio will have just turned 1, and Rune will be almost 3 and a half, so what fantastic ages they will be to enjoy the visit! :D
PHEW! I told you we had been busy ;) What a tiresome week...

We had Megan weighed less than a week ago and she was 12lb 13oz, which i thought was huge but is pretty average for a 3 month old!
