A day in the sun!

Full of smiles!

Charlotte and Lucas

Skye and Storm

Today we went to Silvia's house for the afternoon. She has got 2 new pups called Skye and Storm. They are 10 weeks old and very playful.... I giggled the whole time, especially when they were licking my toes!

A new way to play with my toys!

As I have trouble sitting up it is a little difficult to play with my toys so we have found a way to improvise. Mum and Dad sit me on the couch with heaps of cushions under me and put all my toys on a tray so that i can reach them. I'd much rather tip all of my toys off and just play with the tray!

Me and my dad!

No matter what they throw at me.... I'll always love playing with my dad!

My big day at the hospital

Today was a big day for me, but bigger for my mum. I went into hospital to have my hip fixed. Six weeks ago my health nurse discovered that one of my legs was longer than the other. Normally my condition is diagnosed at a much earlier stage but due to my age I needed to have surgery rather than a brace. I was such a brave girl..... Hardly any tears!

Dad and I in the waiting area of the children's ward. It was so colourful with the most amazing toys. There was even a whole wall full of bouncey balls!

After surgery.... I was so tired!

The next morning i was up and out of bed, full of smiles. The nurses thought i was a real treasure. Most babies cry heaps after this procedure but i have taken it all in my stride. I will be wearing this cast for the next six weeks then i need to have it removed and another, hopefully slighty smaller cast, will be put on for another six weeks.

The only thing is that sometimes i get a bit bored because i can't move around as much as i used to. This means that mum and dad need to entertain me more and take me for more walks. This is me in the only pram that i fit in!

Cheeky Girl!

Just another day at home with mum. The thing is..... now i've learnt to smile for the camera!

We Won!

The last weekend in September 2007 looked like it was going to be one of the worst weekend's in history (well, in the last 44 years anyway). Geelong Football Club had made the grandfinal..... one of my mum's worst fears. After a month of my dad threatening to take a week of work and spend it in the gutters of geelong, several of my mum and dad's friends made the trek down the long highway to the city of 'the cats'. I got to stay home with Nana because i decided that i did not want to waste my time watching such rubbish!

Abbie and Tim waiting outside of Kardinia Park for the gate's to open. Such anticipation!!

Our spot on the oval.....

Owen with the desert!. A cake decorated with the cat's logo.... only to be eaten if they win, of course!

Mum trying to stir up my Dad and Uncle Mikey (Frewy) with her Port Adelaide jumper on. Pity she was too scared to take her jacket off incase she got stabbed!

We won! (Quote of the day!!!!) The final stages of the game just to show who is the best team by a long shot!

Bloody Geelong Supporters.....Tool!

My Dad celebrating the win.


The whole crew.... minus my mum.

All the boys enjoying the greatest win of all!

Mother's Group Picnic

Last Sunday my mum's mother's group all got together for a catch up with all of the Dad's. We went to Jell's Park for a picnic lunch. My Dad's was the champion of all Dad's because he took his botchie balls and the footy for entertainment. Now that mum has gone back to work i do not get to see my friend's as often so it was lots of fun to see them all....

Charlotte, Eliza and Lucas playing on the picnic rug.

Look out Charlotte, Gemma is about to steal your hat!

Donella and Ethan

Kimberley and Lucas

Lucas with his St Kilda hat on. Poor Lucas.... he is forced to barrack for 2 teams, St Kilda and Richmond. When he gets a little bit older I am going to convince him to barrack for the Hawks!

I'm still here!

My mum has been so slack lately that she has not updated the blog for about 6 weeks! But I am still here and growing so much every day.

I especially love my bath time. So much so that this photo is blury because i could not sit still, I was so excited!

Copycat

I have started to copy Hamish already.... There must have been something intriguing outside the window so I wanted to have a look too!! I'm sure that Hamish will catch me if I fall!

Hamish's fetish with shoes....

Hamish seems to have a rather large fetish with shoes. Throughout the day he got into my mum's wardrobe and was seen wearing her runners, her cool zebra shoes but this pair topped the lot. Stiletto's! The funny thing is that he managed to walk just as well in this pair as he does in a flat pair. mmm......

Ouch!

(no narration needed!)

Hamish the little helper

Hamish is helping me to drink my water. I can't quite get the hang of how to hold the cup properly so after much deliberation he decieded to help me! (judging by the look on his face he was trying to think of ways to antagonize me!)

Im pretty cute even if i do say so myself!!

I can sit forward!

Wow! Now that I weigh over 8 kilos I can sit forward in the car. It was a little bit strange at first as I have never been able to see my mum driving before. It's much easier to see out the window now.

6 months old today!

Today i turned 6 months old!

I weigh in at just on 8 kilos and I have grown 15 centimetres since i was born. I'm such a happy girl that i hardly even cried at my immunisations..... even mum was brave and this was the first time that she did not cry either!
