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

Meeting Friends

Em & Storm are so keen to help Mum out with any chores that involve me - here I am being fed by the two of them!!
I went and inpected Aaron & Heather's new house - it's awesome! I cannot wait til I have my first sleepover

Here I am meeting Sophie under Sharon's supervision. Sophie is 10 months older than me and I went to her First Birthday Party not too long ago

Here I am meeting Riley and his parents Steve and Amy. Riley is four months older than me and was so excited to visit me.

Here I am meeting Gretel and her mum Jen - while our Mums wanted us to meet each other, we were not all that interested at the time!

Here I am meeting Carrie-Ann and her soon to be born first child. Carrie-Ann had a little boy called Jack on the 20th September and hopefully we'll be best of friends

Here's me with Angela, we were on our way out for lunch (my first of many luncheons with all the girls!)

Winter Days & Fathers Day

Here I am all dressed up in the snow suit Ma & Grandad Power bought me for a typical Toowoomba Winter Day. It is so warm and soft
I can be a bit of a thumb sucker when it comes close to bed or feed time (My Mum hates hearing everyone's opinions on dummy's vs thumbs and is just glad that I'm quiet!)

Here I am with Dad on our first Father's Day together. I'm in my little rocker outfit that Great Uncle Phil & Great Aunty Kathy helped purchase for me

Here's one of me and my Dad in our bluey's!

A post for fun!!
