Great Relatives

Four Generations - Here I am with my Great Nan Power, my Grandad and my MumHere I am with my Great Nan Power, my Great Great Aunt Phyllis and my Mum
Here I am with my Great Aunt Denise from WA
And here I'm with my second cousins Brady & Devin

Here I am with my Great Aunt Denise on Christmas DayGreat Nan Power was such wonderful company when my Mum went back to work on Mondays and Tuesdays...
And so was my Great Great Aunt Phyllis
And here's a little me with my Great Nana Reynolds
Great Nana Reynolds thought me too precious to hold!
And here I am with Great Aunt Lorna - I was on my way to the Gold Coast with Mum and Dad for my first holiday at 4wks of age and we stopped in to see Aunt Lorna for lunch

Out to Dinner

Charlie & I are not quite big enough to sit on 'big people' chairs, so we were put at the end of the table in these funny white chairs that strapped us in. I'm so glad Charlie is not a big person and could keep me company. Dad also kept good company during the evening and must have been having a very intense conversation with the two of us according to this next photo...
Uncle Roger was copying us at poking tongues, what a shame that Mum didn't click the camera at the right time and get all of us sticking our tongues out!
It was my Great Nan's and Great, Great Aunt's last night with us so we went to tea at Hog's Breath. I got to have some curly fries (I wasn't really fussed on the carrot that Dad gave me and I put on such a turn that he gave in and passed over the chippies)
Once I was out of my chair it was a struggle to get me back in - I just wanted to have cuddles with everyone

Sandcastles

Dad helped build a few sand castles for me at the beach My friend Jack would have loved to join me but he's a bit too little yet
I'm starting to be surrounded
Now I am surrounded... Escaping...

Pirates!

This is where all little pirates should be - at the beach! We went to Tweed Heads for my first beach encounter with Mum & Dad
My friend Sophie loved the waves, but I was a bit unsure of their noise
It was a bit scary

The Last Week

Do you know what makes me really really happy; even when I'm really really cranky? A mirror! And I can find them all over the house; the bathroom, the bedroom and the kitchen! Although I found out the other day that the kitchen mirror can get very hot sometimes! Rob came to visit us the other week and we made him have a photo with me; he wasn't much for it at all!
My friend Riley came to visit me today. Our Mums have gone a bit crazy I think; Riley and I sat in our prams while they pushed us around the park and then after that, they were doing really funny things, I think they call them push ups and pram squats.
Here I am doing my most favourite of all activities - standing! I keep hearing Mum say that it's driving her crazy. I'm not sure why, I just like to stand and hold stuff - whether it be her legs while she's in the kitchen trying to get my dinner, the iron cord that moves so much when she is ironing, the coffee table that has really sharp corners, the dining chairs (mind you they're really low and I always seem to bump my head on them) - pretty much anything as you can tell

Fun in the Sun

Some friends came to visit me on Australia Day and a few of us had a swim in Aunty Kim's pool. My friend Riley's Aunt Lisa supervised us and made sure that we all got our turn in the pool. I really liked the look of the slippery slide, so Dad gave me a helping hand to get up and down it
Here I go....
And again?

Christmas Time

Merry Christmas Everyone!

We hope you had a wonderful Christmas and shared this special time with family & friends, just like us - we were fortunate enough to have some very special relatives from WA join us on the east coast for the festive season

It was my first Christmas this year and I sure am looking forward to more days like this - presents, presents, presents!

What did you get for Christmas Charlie? Is it a jingle stick? Can I have a turn?.....

....thanks!

What's in there Dad? Is it my present from Aunty Julie, Uncle Mark & Cousin Niamh?

It sure is Jock, but I think you'll have to take a back seat until you get your learners permit!

Here I am with Cousin Thomas checking out all our pressies!

Crawling

Here I go.... Did you get that?
I'll show you again....
What do ya think?

The Three M's

MESSY!

I had my hands and feet painted for my Baby Book - it was so much fun! Well this sitting was not too messy since Mum was in charge, but I'll try and find another picture to post of me feeding myself

Here we go, this is more like it - trust me, I can do it myself Mum & Dad!!

MISCHIEVOUS

I can make my way to my toy basket now and pick out the toys that I want to play with

This is now my favourite position - I love being up high, it's so much fun

Here I am on Uncle Aaron's motor bike with Dad - I can hardly wait til I can ride it for real

ME & MY MUM
