Maks Update Nov 17th

I'm typing this as I sit here in Hong Kong after spending 3 glorious day's showing my daughter the sights n sounds of Hong Kong. Donne, Miekie and myself flew up to Hong kong on monday afternoon from Auckland flying on Cathay Pacific CX108. We settled into our seats and took off with Princess being mildly amused, afterall its not her first time on a plane, but it is her first international flight. After take off the stewardess brought out the bassinet for her to lay in where she was quite content to sit and play with her toys and allow her mom and dad to eat in peace and watch some movies. She slept very well and better than her parents but then she had a bed whereas we had uncomfortable economy seats to finds a position to get comfortable in. The day we flew up was Monday the 14th of Novemeber so at 18:25 she turned 7 months, and as we do every month since her birth we took photo's to mark her growth whilst in flight. Its been about 3 weeks since her aunty Kaz saw her and she can't but not remark how much Makayla has developed in that short space of time. She can talk "Dad, Dadda" and interact with her 21 month old cousin danika (those two are so excitable together). Makayla is now so close to crawling we predict she'll be mobile by the time she returns from Joburg in a months time which is where she is currently flying too now.
I miss her so much its almost unbearable
But it will be so great for her to see her grandparents and for them to see her and how much she's grown from the tiny infant baby she once was. She has a fantastic mom too who will enjoy some full time babysitter for a while :-)
Safe travels princess, Daddy loves you
