BLOWING OUT THE CANDLES?

Yesterday was Mummy's birthday and we had a lovely day. In the morning I bought Mummy some suprises into her bed. I had a card that I wrote in just for her and a wee presey for us to open. Then we opened up lots of other cards and presents too. We made the biggest mess but had the most fun! Daddy and I took Mummy out for lunch too. Then after dinner I helped Mummy to blow out the candles on her birthday cake. Although, I haven't quite figured out how to do that yet, so mostly I just watched. It was a pretty exciting game though. Bradley is going to teach me how to do it properly at Nana's birthday which isn't very far away. Yah!! We all had a lovely day. Mummy says that everyone was very kind to her and that she was very spoilt. Lucky old Mummy.

OUR CHRISTMAS TREE

Today we all put up the christmas tree. It was great fun. There were so many christmas goodies in the box to look at and then hang on the tree. There was a santa hat to try on too. Even Jessie wanted a turn with that.

MERRY CHRISTMAS - THANK YOU GRANDMA

Grandma gave me the coolest present for christmas!!! I got this special cot for my babies and they love their new bed. I'm going to be in Taranaki and Palmerston North for christmas so Grandma got the cot sent to me down here. I am very lucky because it came very early and I was allowed to have it because we will be away for so long. I love putting my babies to bed and getting them up again, and hopping in with them, and hopping out again, and taking out all the blankets and putting them back in again... you can tell from my cheeky grin just how much fun it all is. In the bottom picture I am pointing to Santa because soon it will be Christmas time. Thank you Grandma - we can't wait to see you again soon. xxx

VISITORS FROM DUNEDIN

Today my Great Aunty Margie and Great Uncle John drove all the way from Dunedin to see us all. We had a lovely visit all together. They bought me a beautiful new dolly with lovely hair which Mummy is teaching me how to do - just like she does mine. We're calling the new little lady 'Margie'. We spent some of the afternoon playing on the deck together. It was fun. Thank you for visiting us Great Aunty Margie and Great Uncle John xxx

NANA AND GRANDAD, THE SWINGS AND THE DUCKS...

Nana and Grandad are staying with us at the moment. We are having lots of fun. This morning we went to Queens Park where the ducks live. We took some bread for them to eat. They are very hungry ducks and steal the bread from out of your hands. We all thought they were really cool, although Nana doesn't like it when they eat the bread next to her toes!
After we fed the ducks we went to the playground to go on my favourite swings and things. Yah! My Nana and Grandad spoil me, they took me on the playground toys and we even had some yummy snacks at the park kiosk..
They also bought me these pretty new clothes that I am wearing and lots of other little treats.
It is so lovely to have them to stay. I have showed them my room and all my favourite babies. Nana and I like to look after my babies and make sure they've had their dinner and their sleep.

DOUBLE TROUBLE

MacKenzie and her Mum have been staying with us. MacKenzie is 4 months old and I think she is just the best "Bubba" in the world. I bring her all my books and toys and rattles to play with and I love to give her hugs. I am trying very hard to be gentle because she is only little. We are having so many adventures together. I am teaching her lots of tricks too, because now she can blow little raspberries - hee hee! I watch all of the things that MacKenzie and her Mum do together and I can do lots of those things with my babies too. Sometimes, I like to pretend to be a baby too and lie on the play mat after MacKenzie has had a turn. Being little is lovely but its good to be big too because then you can tickle MacKenzie's toes in the bath...
We both like to splash and talk and sing in the bath - MacKenzie is a real little chatter box.
Since they have been staying we have been to feed the ducks (although the ducks had to share the bread with me) and to the playground, where MacKenzie had her first ever swing. She thought swinging was fantastic! It sure is!

I love the slide too and I can go down it sitting up now. Mum finally got brave enough to let me try! I used to lie on my back or go with Mum or Dad. It is cool.
Yup, we sure are doing a good job at keeping our Mum's out of mischief!

ALL ABOARD

These days I like to take friends with me wherever I go. Big Baby and Little Baby especially like to come for a ride on my bike with me. We have lots of fun getting on and off and zooming along.

GUMBOOTS!

On the weekend we all got a letter from my Great Nana. She said she'd had some visits from Bradley and she wanted to know if I had little gumboots like he does. Bradley is very, very proud of his gumboots. Well, here I am having kicks with the ball in my gummys. I have very little feet and even the very smallest gumboots were too big for a long time but I have been growing and now I fit into these gumboots which my Nana and Grandad got me a long time ago. Gumboots are cool. I ask my Mum to get them for me when I want to go outside. Sometimes after work, Dad will come outside with me and show me how to kick the ball. Yah!!
