Outings & parties of late...

these are the birthday invitations that mummy made up for me.

whatcha lookin' at? this was taken today
i am unstoppable up the stairs!

i am getting so good at crawling up the stairs!!

This was taken at Brodie's 1st birthday party. It was cold and windy!

on the slippery dip.

it was lots of fun going down the slippery dip with daddy

Awelita and I also had a play in the playground.

and here is the birthday boy in fancy shirt and tie.

here we are feeding the swans at Centennial Park

they did get a bit too close, and daddy dropped one of my shoes in the pond

i think this is where i saw my shoe in the water!

here I am at a Peter Pan show, dancing with daddy

i am too little to go up the front.

latest tricks

i love bath time with daddy
and i often have trouble letting go of my bath toys

and i never like getting out!

hanging out with mummy!

not convinced about these easter bunny ears...

i like playing under tables and chairs

and playing peek-a-boo with mummy

at the park watching the duckies

and hanging out with the swans

i love the view from up high!

Hello!

here are the latest pics that mummy has taken of me out and about. As you can see from some pictures, i have 4 lovely teeth and my two top ones have a gap inbetween them. Mummy says this means i will be rich! Yay!

We are now enjoying a bit of a holiday and trying to go out visiting people, being outside in the sun (or rain, whatever!) and playing lots!

Ok. More photos when mummy takes some.

Love

Fairy Wings & hot dog Birthday!

Eating my first sausage on a roll... TASTY!

Not so sure about this Wings thing at first...

I got my very first Easter present too...

Posin' like a PRO!

Mummy is teaching me to accesorise.

Fast Legs McGeeeee!!!

If you look closely there is a HINT of teeth here.

Nah, not showing you again!

Hello! i was at a birthday party today and i got my first ever pair of fairy wings. They looked very pretty on me. Awelita says she will get me pink ones for my first birthday. Yay!

I also got into all the party food, i ate jelly; egg, ham & cheese sandwiches; sausage sandwiches and chocolate biscuits. Oh well, it's not every day a girl gets to eat whatever she likes!

I now have 4 teeth (well, my fourth one is coming through and being very painful & slow about it) and my gummy smiles have some extra character now. Mummy will have to get me a new toothbrush soon!

I am now a very proficient crawler and chase Tito everywhere. I have also been too fast for Mummy at times and when she takes pictures all she gets is my fast legs moving away!

Ok, that's all for now. This week i don't have daycare as Jenny is on holidays so i am spending the next three days with Daddy, Nanna & Mummy. YAY!!

Love

I am a big girl now!

This is what i looked like when all i could do was commando crawl...
And how lovely to sleep with my bedtime pal...

Mummy!! gimme the phoooooneeeeee!!

spending cuddle time with Tia Claudi

Laughing it up on my swing...

Tito doesn't know what he's in for.

Watching my favourite TV show: In the Night Garden.

Mummy & i clapping along to songs from 'In the Night Garden'. It's so so so so much fun!

Hello! well, yes i AM a big girl, i have 3 teeth and i can crawl! YAY! mummy and daddy (especially daddy) thought i would go straight to walking and not crawl at all, so i was glad to surprise them by finally managing a crawl on my own, on hands and knees (none of this commando crawling- which i did do for a while there!)

I have also sprouted teeth in the space of just a couple of weeks. I have been a bit grumpy pants and not sleeping well so i hope once these teeth of mine settle i can return to my good sleeping which means mummy and daddy can sleep well too.

Mummy says it's hard to get photos of my new teeth as they are only tiny and they have only just started popping out, but once they are out completely i will be sure to show them off and you can see pictures of them.

So now that i have teeth (sort of) i am enjoying lumpier food (mummy gave me Le Rice. It's Le Yum!!) and i am also chasing poor Tito around a lot more. He doesn't mind my rough pats and even when i sit on him (accidentaly of course) he doesn't get mad. He hasn't bitten me or scratched me once. I love him very much and i giggle when i touch his soft hair...

what else... all the kids at daycare love me and take care of me, they give me lots of kisses and cuddles which is nice but i also came home with a cold because of one of them so i am not sure about all this love i am getting!

School holidays are not too far away and i am very happy about this as i get to spend more time playing with mummy and daddy. Yay!

Love

ps- here is proof that i can crawl!

Lots of Catching Up to Do!

I'm REALLY hitting the shops now!

After eating a berry paddle pop

i love the couch!

not so sure about this one...

with mummy supporting daddy at his swimming carnival (i am in his house colour: RED!)

I love Mummy's kisses!

wearing red: I REPRESENT!

My first taste of cheese... hmmm NOPE!

mummy look! gummy smiles for the camera!

they try and try to get me to crawl but i'm not gonna!

look what i can do!!!

Hello!

It's been AGES since i was last here sharing my news. This is because now i am very busy at daycare and i don't have much time to go online. Mummy is back at work too so she doesn't have much time either but here we are, we managed to get some time on the computer to share photos and stories!

I have been at daycare now for about a month and it's not so bad... Mummy and Daddy thought i was going to cry lots all the time but i only cry a little bit at the start of each day and then i forget why i was crying. So it's all ok.

I am learning new things all the time. Mummy is worried that i am not interested in crawling and i think she is right. All i wanna do is stand up and walk around, the world is a big place and i wanna see it ALL!! I get cranky sometimes if i have been standing and mummy or daddy sit me down again. Lately i have managed to pull myself up by holding onto furniture and i think i will be walking very soon. I can do a commando crawl but it's not very lady-like so i don't do it very often.

Can you believe i am almost 9 months old already? And NO TEETH YET! i went through about a week of being cranky pants and my gums were red and sore, and two teeth surfaced a little bit but since then they haven't moved any more, so it's a mystery to all of us as to when i am gonna get teeth. I would love some soon, i already have a toothbrush and i love it. So my smiles are still just gummy, as you can see in the pictures above.

What else... i love banging on the computer keys and i have already messed up mummy and daddy's laptop, so daddy brought home a keyboard for me. It's not as much fun but i have a go at banging at it with my little hands anyway.

And food: not so keen on it anymore. I love fruit and yoghurt and that's about it. But i do love drinking water from my sippy cup, and i have been eating milk arrowroot biscuits, also very nice and they are soooo messy! i love it! today i tried a cheese stick but i bit off a big chunk and it made me gag and vomit. Oops! Today i also tried my first cheesymite scroll from Baker's Delight. It was yummy and i was making lots of "mmmmmmmm" sounds when i ate it- because i thought it was so nice and TASTY!

Well, once again i am very sorry it has taken this long to share news. Mummy promises to come back soon with more photos amd stories of my little adventures.

Love

Abi xx
