Date night
Kerry and Cait babysat Noah so we could explore Cape Town on our own for a night. It was SOOOO FUN! It's not often we get to go out just the two of us. Well, as you can see from the photo, I guess its the three of us!
We went to Kalk Bay for our favorite Fish & Chips on the harbor

Cape Town part 4
So....Cape Town feels sometimes so much like California that 4x today I ended up walking to the wrong side of the car for the passenger seat! :) That hasn't happened since I first moved here 3 years ago. Crazyness.
False Bay
We had the most amazing fish & chips at this place on the harbor
Cute tugboat in the harbor
We went shopping on the Waterfront, Table Mountain is behind us. There is often a white cloud on top of Table Mountain (like the one in the photo) that they call the "tablecloth" pretty cool.

And Noah said his first sentence today. "More juice!" Kerry and Cait heard it too, so it wasn't just me! It's the first time he's said either of these words, he usually signs them, so it was fun hearing two words together he's never said before. He also said "night night" before his bedtime tonight, so fun!

Cape Town day 3....felt like Hawaii
Today we found a deserted white sand blue water beach. It was amazing. You had to hike through white sand for quite a while to get there but it was so clear and blue. The water was on the Atlantic side (cause CT is on a peninsula, you can swim in the Indian and Atlantic ocean) which is the FREEZING water side. The Indian is like bathwater in comparison! But it was so awesome & beautiful.
We found this mini lighthouse, so cute! It kinda looks like a huge one in the distance with the perspective.
Clint taking Noah for his first feel of the water.....sooooo cold!
Kerry & Cait soaking up the sun, & sunblock, it was so hot!
Its so fun taking a toddler anywhere cause their face totally exudes exactly how they feel inside. Noah loves toddling around looking at shells and pointing at, well, everything in sight.

Cape Town Day One
Cape Town is more beautiful than I remember. I was here 6 years ago, but it was winter, and I've forgotten its beauty. Its so funny to spend Christmas vacation on the beach it being Summer, but its so amazing!
Fun colorful changing huts.

Christmas traditions
So what are your Christmas traditions? I'm curious!
Since we moved to South Africa our church has a early morning Christmas service which I really like. Clint preaches a sermon around the theme of the Saviour's birth and we sing carols. It really sets the mood for the day. Because Clint preaches every Christmas (except last year) this means we are usually in the Hillcrest area on Christmas day, far from both of our sides of the family. So its fun this year to have a "bigger" family (i.e. Noah is getting big enough to understand a little tiny bit) and to celebrate it with him. Every day he brings me baby Jesus and says "baba!" and he brings me the three wise men together from our nativity. I love it.
My favorite Christmas music is from "A Charlie Brown Christmas." I love the movie itself, its just so cool how the message is so clear when Charlie is all depressed and when Linus tells the story and reads from Luke 2 what Christmas is actually all about. The soundtrack has been playing alot in our house the last few weeks.
This year we are going to Capetown and flying back Christmas eve. (I am so excited, Capetown is so beautiful this time of year!) So I get Christmas with just my hubby and Noah! So fun. Since its Summertime we are going to have a braai (bbq). Not like sipping hot chocolate on a cold day, but still very fun! So what do you guys do on Christmas day to celebrate? Tell me all about it!

Our little girl
We snuck a peek at our baby girl at our 28 week 4d scan! It was hard to get a still photo of her, but here she is sucking her thumb! She looks alot like Noah did in his 30 week scan.
Lyle took this fun photo of Clint's excitement about our baby girl coming :) 28 week bump, and feeling "swell"
And when I was in the states I really liked this set at Target cause it was feminine/baby but classy, so my mom is sending me the set! :) I told my mom I liked it before I even knew I was pregnant! I can't wait to set up her room! I also ordered some other fun pieces to the set besides just the quilt/bumper/sheets.
And we still haven't come up with an official name for our girl yet. Any suggestions?
The nurse said she could see very long eyelashes (which Noah has too!)
