Another looooong month without blogging, but this time, I'm going to stay updated ... we once again have internet at home, so no excuses!
A lot happened in this past month, our boy has changed more in the last few weeks than in the 5 months before, we moved cities, we said goodbye to some amazing friends, was welcomed in Joburg with tea and cake and Troy met his Grandpa for the first time!
Starting STRAIGHT away ....
Troy John Woollam can SIT!
The cutest little frog sat for the first time on the 1st of Feb 2010, just before his 5 month birthday! He still fell over as soon as he reached out for something, but that soon changed, now he sits all the time and has perfect balance!
The most beautiful frog!
Mid-Feb Elloits came to pack up our house and move our lives to Joburg. They were SUPER professional and I would recommend them to anyone. They pack your precious stuff with more love and care than you would EVER pack your own stuff!
They were also a lot of fun, playing around and enjoying themselves while packing, which made the move and seeing your entire life go into boxes way more enjoyable.
Troy and I just sitting watching our stuff get packed up and shipped off!
Packing in progress ...
My dad came to spend the day while we had the packers in, just playing with Troy and keeping us company ... Dankie Pa!!!
John came down to Cape Town for moving day and the weekend to say goodbye to all our friends. John trying to do some work on a stack of boxes!
Martin and Kelly were kind enough to take the homeless Woollams in for the weekend.

The Saturday before we left we had a VERY busy day, we decided to organise a baby shower for Kelly, seeing as she never had one for Luca. It was at her house, luckily we were staying there, so they went out for the morning and we got everything ready. Martin was in on it, but Kels got the biggest surprise when she walked into her house, only to find 25 people all screaming SURPRISE!!!
Kelly opening her presents!
I organised baby-grow painting, which ended up being baby painting ...
Anna completely covered in paint
That afternoon we had our Woollam-Farewell at Kirstenbosh Gardens. It was a BEAUTIFUL day and so amazing to see some of our friends.

These birds were either sooo hungry or just tame, 'cause they would eat out of your hands and then actually ate bread out of John's mouth!

For Valentine's Day and our last day in Cape Town, we decided to go to Gordan's Bay for the BEST fish and chips and a splash in the warm ocean with the Nevelings.
