WALKING WITH DAD

My mum and I go for a walk most afternoons. It is very relaxing for me - I don't know about for mum though. Today my Dad took me walking but it was very hard work and I was still snoozing when we got home so Dad parked me inside.

LOOKING AFTER MY DAD!

Usually my Dad looks after me but today I am looking after him because he is sick. He needs me to help him with the remote control, and with his work phone and papers. I take good care of all these things and make sure i really check them all out well. In between these jobs I am practising my crawling and taking care of my own phone. Busy, busy, busy!
Now, if I could just figure out what to do - after I get onto my hands and knees...

VISITORS FOR ME!

My Nana and Grandad, and Granny Jill and Snow have been visiting Bradley to help him out with his wood chopping. Then they came to see my mum and dad, and ME! It was so good to see them. They gave me lots of cuddles. I read them some stories and showed them all my new tricks. Nana even gave me a little bit of a pineapple lump. Yummy! Then they all went and stayed in Rotorua so they could come see us again on Sunday. Olive and Grandad told me that they played cards at their motel and that Nana and Snow lost badly. Poor Nana and Snow! When I woke up from my sleep on Sunday, Nana, Grandad and Olive were there to get me up from my cot. What a cool suprise! They are pretty special visitors so I wore my pretty dress that Nana and Olive found for me in Wanganui one day when they were shopping. After they we got even more visitors. Aunty Susan, Uncle Si and Bradley came to play for a little bit. Bradley is just the best. He runs around the place and brings me toys. He likes to play silly games with his mum too. It was such a fun weekend!

PLAYING WITH KATE

This is my friend Kate. She came to play with me for a whole day. We had a very busy day playing together and we even had a picnic lunch. Fun! Kate was born exactly two months after me, so she is just the right size for me to play with...and she has the coolest name too!

BRADLEY AND ME

Bradley came to visit me on Saturday. We had heaps of fun. He is soooo busy! I have been watching him closely so I can learn how to do all those cool things. Bradley brought me toys to play with and books to read too. Yah! Aunty Susan and Uncle Simon came with Bradley. They are pretty cool too. Aunty Susan plays funny games with me and makes me laugh.

Mum and I were very busy last week. We went to the library and got some new books to look at and some toys to play with too! We went swimming and I went under the water for the first time. It was awesome! I can jump in from the side of the pool into Mum's arms too and I am trying hard to kick lots and drink the water too...Mum calls this blowing bubbles. I just love swimming!

MAIL FOR ME!!!

Sometimes when my Mummy and I go to get the mail in, there is mail for ME! It's so exciting, I love to grab and pull and suck on the bags and envelopes. The other day I got a parcel from my Grandma with some really cool things in it. I wore the new outfit to Church on Sunday. It is really beautiful. Then yesterday, I got ANOTHER parcel. This one from my Nana. She sent me some real grown up Jammies. They are all warm and snuggly and they have buttons - I just love buttons! I am a very lucky girl i know! Thanks Grandma and Nana.

P.S: My Mum told me that my Great Aunty Lyn knitted this cardigan straight from the sheep! Wow, she sure is clever.

OUTSIDE AND INSIDE FUN

This morning I helped put the washing on the line (I was in charge of the pegs). I like to pick the flowers outside too. Dad wants to chop them all down but he can't cos the weed eater is being fixed. Too bad Dad!
I am such a good helper! When we came inside I did some reading. I just love my books. I know how each story goes and which flaps need to be lifted up. I want Mum or Dad to read me story, after story, after story, after story.... but they doesn't always think this is such a good idea. That's ok though. I'll just read them myself.

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!

Aunty Susan has been experimenting with her camera. I was her model. I hope models don't have to be serious because I thought the whole thing was very funny.

I have had another busy week playing with my friends and visiting Bradley. Although last time we went to see my cuz he slept the whole time - which my mum and I thought was very cheeky! But Mum says we can visit again soon and we'll see Bradley then.
