Discovering new things

Hello!

Mummy wanted to share these photos that show how big i am getting and the things i am getting up to at home these days.

I love pamphlets (well, paper of any kind really...) and i discovered mummy & daddy's recycling bin so i quickly make my way over there daily to see if i can grab any pamphlets to sneak away with.

Mummy has been giving me new foods to try and i must say, toothiepegs are delicious! plus they make such a big mess, i love it!

And i also love being up high where i can grab mummy or daddy's hair. I laugh a lot when they bounce me around but they have learnt to be careful with this move as i vomited all over mummy's hair not long ago. So funny!

A day at Bronte Beach

Hello!

The weather wasn't great but mummy took me to Bronte beach anyway. We met up with Aunty Irene & Felix and also Auntie Ruth & Luis. Very cute boys. I must remember that when i am older.

We took turns in being asleep so we couldn't get a picture of the three of us together but here are a few that mummy took of everybody.

I was a very good girl and ate all my lunch, sat upright without falling over and i slept in my pram for a good little while. Yay me!

I didn't get to go in the water but it's just a matter of time. Summer is here already!

Uncle JJ's Birthday

Hello!

Well these photos are of Uncle JJ's b'day yesterday. I got together with my cousins Lani & Tommy and we all hung out for a bit, until it was nap time for each of us.

I had lots of fun checking things out on my walker, Lani liked my shoes so much that she tried to keep one as a hat. I held hands with both my cousins and we took turns at eating Nanna's plants.

Dad gave me a Corona to hold but i don't think i am into beer.

What else is new...

I am blabbing on about lots of things now, i say "mamamamama" a lot and sometimes "dadadada". I blow spit bubbles when i say the letter "bbbbbb" over and over, and i scream to get attention, much to mummy's dismay.

I am excellent at rolling over these days and i am also quite good at holding onto things. I can even take small sips from my sippy cup. I have also recently discovered i have wrists and i move my hands back and forth putting my wrists to use. I am using my left hand more than my right so who knows, maybe i'll be a leftie like my awelito!

I tried ice cream for the first time yesterday, daddy gave me some when mummy wasn't looking. She was not impressed. But i loved it!

Ok, more stories and photos soon

Long Time Without News... Lots Coming:

My First Family Wedding: October 25 2008

Congratulations to my Tia Claudi & Tio Jano on their beautiful wedding. She looked so beautiful and he was very handsome. I was only there for a little bit- i just wanted to get in some photos and then go home for my bottle and bed.

Thank you to my tios for setting a place for me at their Wedding Reception but it was past my bedtime and Mummy says i'm still too young to party.

Anyway, here are some photos that i managed to get in for. If you look carefully you will see that I am trying super hard to reach the red bouquet and eat it. I was not successful unfortunately. Oh well, next time...

And look how handsome my Daddy is. No wonder i'm so cute.

October 11 2008: My Christening

Hello, On saturday October 11 I was christened at St Declan's Parish in Penshurst. I was wearing a smashing white number and my lovely saturday night cardy that Awelita knitted for me. I also had some fancy shoes on but nobody saw them because my dress was very long.

Mummy says i was very well behaved and i didn't cry or anything. I did try to eat the Ceremony Booklet though, i left a large sloppy hole in it from having it in my mouth for so long. Everyone laughed when Father Adrian poured water over my forehead and i opened my mouth to try to drink it. So funny!

Thank you to everyone who came to see me make my Catholic Debut! And a special thanks to my beautiful Madrina: Tia Claudi, and my handsome Uncle Scott who is my godfather.

Love

Meeting Tia Poli for the First Time...

I have had so much fun with Tia Poli... she made me laugh lots from the beginning. Her curly hair is very funny! She has read me stories, given me cuddles and sang me songs. The only thing she didn't do was change my nappy (they're not that bad!)

I gave her gummy smiles all the time and let her take lots of photos of me. She bought me so many nice presents, I am a lucky, lucky bunny!

I miss her and her curls...

Love you Tia Polita! I hope to see you again soon! Hurry up and come home so we can hang out some more! You're gonna miss my first teeth!!

Doing Big Girl Things...

Hello!

This week i have officially started solids. Mum has given me rice cereal and pear to try so far and i wear a lot of my food instead of eating it, but it's fun! Can't wait to try apple, carrot and potato next. For some strange reason i like to sneeze when i am given food and of course it goes everywhere, including Mummy!

I am also learning to look at books and eating them. I especially like ones that have crunchy pages.

And although i love my bath, i am enjoying showers too. I get myself a little drink of water while i'm in there with Mummy or Daddy.

And we are very excited that Tia Poli will be arriving in Sydney soon. What shall i wear to the airport!???

Love

Abi xx
