Catching up with friends

Mum and I went on a wee drive to Mokau to catch up with my friends Kate and Sam. Kate and I gave each other hugs and I held Sam's hand while he was practising his walking.

We had some lunch together and then played at the playground it was lots of fun.

My day just kept getting better when we stopped off to see Granny and Grandad on the way home. And they said I could go to see the Hot Air Balloons with them so I didn't get home until 9pm. What a day of adventures!

Breakfast with my family

This is me, Bethany and teddy all having breakfast together (just like Mum, Dad and I at dinner times at the big table!)

Growing up fast

I'm growing up fast and starting to be a real little girl and no longer Mum's baby.

This is me all dressed up in a pretty dress with stickers on it and hair clips in my hair.

I'm getting really good at talking and can put a couple of words together now and yell for Mum until she responds.

I know all about shopping and I have to make sure I take my handbag whenever I go out with Mum or Granny.

This week I decided to be just like Mum and when she was going to work with her red book I picked up my very important red book of drawings to take to daycare with me - that's what us working girls do you know.

Helping with the chores

I love water, so when Mum got out a big bucket of water to wash the floors I just had to help.

I made sure they were really clean by making sure there was lots and lots and lots and lots of water all over the floor.

Boots!

I love gumboots and my friend Kate leant me a pair of her old ones when I visited her.

I wear them everywhere - even to town - you don't necessarily need pants but you definitely need gumboots!

Easter

Easter bunny came to visit and he bought me a jigsaw and a car with coloured eggs in it. I like playing with all the eggs and driving the car (Mum and Dad haven't told me about eating chocolate yet)

Holiday in Invercargill

Mum and I went for a wee holiday to Invercargill.

It was so much fun I learnt lots of new tricks - like "ready steady go", jumping from great heights, riding bikes, hearding sheep and so much more...

Thanks Uncle Stu, Aunty Louby, Kate and Sam for a wonderful holiday - your turn to visit us next!

Nana & Grandad

My Nana and Grandad came to visit all the way from Hawkes Bay.

It was so much fun. I made them go to the park everyday and I was like Nana's little shadow.
I quite liked borrowing Grandad's hat too

Please come and visit again soon Nana & Grandad.

I'm back

I'm sorry its been so long since I let you see some photos of me.

We've all been very busy. My Dad just works and works and works and Mum has to work and then come home and look after me so we don't get much time to take photos let alone post them.

But anyway, here are a few of my latest adventures...

This is me on holiday at the beach with Mum and Dad. I liked the pool (the beach) and the ducks (sea gulls) a lot. Although Mum and Dad didn't find it very relaxing as I wasn't keen to sleep at night.

This is me in the garden after helping mum water the flowers...

Sometimes after work (and daycare) Dad and I are really tired so we have a wee rest. I like to borrow my dolly Bethany's blanket and pillow to snuggle down with Dad.

My pussy cat Tom loves my couch. Luckily I love Tom so I don't mind sharing it with him although we sometimes argue over who gets the prime position. This is Tom, Bethany and I all sharing the couch nicely together.

Mum and Dad bought a new BBQ for their Christmas present.

I thought they should have spent the money on me and bought me a playhouse instead - but Mum built me this really cool one out of the boxes and Dad cooked us a yummy dinner on the new BBQ

So it was win win for all of us in the end!

Riding our bike

Mum got a cool bike seat for me for Christmas.

It means we can go on lots of adventures together.

Mum says I'll make an excellent personal trainer as everytime she stops I say "one more".

Aunty Kathryn's Wedding

For some reason I can't get the photos to upload of my Aunty Kathryn's wedding - I'll have another go at the weekend - in the meantime you can look at this one of me and Mum.

Busy Busy Times

My I have been having a very busy time, organising my Aunty Kathryn's wedding and keeping my Aunties and Uncles entertained with fun and games - it is very hard work. In between times, I have turned into somewhat of a fashionista - I like shoes and hats.



Here are some photos of the last few weeks activities....






Mum says you'll have to wait until tonight for photos from the wedding - something about having to go to work....

Looking after the pussy cats

I like to help my Dad look after our pussy cats. I give them lots of kisses and cuddles; and when Dad goes to get out a pack of jelly meat for them I try to do the same, although Mum says she doesn't think the cats will eat my gravy sachet.

Our New Pussy Cats

It's been a long time since our Mr Chess died and we've all been missing having a pussy cat around - so much so that we've been plotting to steal the neighbour's!

We finally decided to go and visit the SPCA and have a look at their pussy cats. Mum wanted one, but Dad was keen on two and there was a brother and sister in desparate need of a home so guess who now lives with us.

They're very friendly pussy cats who don't mind when I give them kisses and cuddles and like to tickle me with their tails which I think is very funny. At the moment they don't come out and play too much, but I'm hoping they'll feel at home soon so I can have lots more cuddles.

This is Thomas

and this is Roxy

No - we didn't choose their names!

Christmas Day

More presents for me!


In fact I got a bit bored opening presents and just wanted to play with my new toys.


But then it was all very exciting when we went out to Granny & Grandad's for dinner and everyone was opening presents.


I got lots of Wiggles toys from my Aunties and Uncles and this cool table from Granny & Grandad.


We had lots of fun and Jack, Cooper and I had everyone dancing to the Wiggles to work off Christmas dinner.

Christmas Celebrations in the Hawke's Bay

We had an early Christmas with my Nana & Grandad in Hawke's Bay

I was spoilt rotten with lots of presents.

Including this cute tutu.
I had great fun with my cousins and Nana & Grandad.

We had a lovely relaxing holiday and even managed to enjoy fish and chips at the beach.

Thanks for a great holiday Nana & Grandad!

Packing for Christmas

We went to my Nana & Grandad's for an early Christmas.

I was a great help packing the suitcase - I made sure all the important things were in the suitcase like presents and me!

I am a very seasoned traveller and know all about wheeling my own bag around the airport.

The Beach

In mid December we went to catch up with my friends Sam and Kate at Mokau beach.
It was lots of fun jumping in the waves and playing in the sand.

My Granny came with us, but Grandad stayed home to do some work. I made sure he didn't miss out on the fun though by getting him to give me some rides on the train when we got back.

Christmas Time

Yay now its December its officially Christmas Time.

Yesterday my Granny came to help us put up our Christmas Tree.

I'm still not sure what its all for, but I like it when my Granny visits anyway.
