What is love?

We are all home now working out how we function as a family. It is fun to do things together...especially dress ups.

Aunty Ezara came with Max and Uncle Mike. We had fun bathing.
We like Mala and Popop coming to visit. They are good at looking out for everyone and hanging Christmas decorations.

Zach Day 1

My second birthday - the actual day!

Yesterday was my actual birthday - I had loads of fun. Mala and Popop came up for afternoon tea and they gave me this cute cute cute outfit. It was perfect for bouncing on my tramp - I have hardly left my tramp since I got it from Liam, Martina and Vin. Today I got more parcels in the mail...it was so much fun...Mum and Dad say that I'm cute in this lovely lovely fairy dress from Sarah, Shane and Mac.

It all got too much though - I had to jump into Mum's bed and have a rest...Her book was interesting...but I did get a little bored of it.

Still no baby brother...I think Mum may just be fat forever.

My early birthday party

Just in case my brother arrives on time, or there abouts, we had an early 2nd birthday party. It was a teddy bear's picnic. We were going to have it at the park, but it was a wee bit windy so we had it at Mala and Popop's house instead. Thank you Mala and Popop.

Malay bought me a wonderful cake! It had Pooh bear on it. Pooh was my teddy at the picnic.

One of my presents was a tool kit from Granny - after the party Daddy and I built the basinette for the baby! I was so helpful, I love to use tools. I have fixed the new SUV I got at my party nearly every day. I keep telling Mum that it is broken and I need to take the wheel off to fix it.

Thanks everyone for a great 2nd birthday party!

We Went Visiting!!!

We went to vist my grandparents in the Manawatu! It was so much fun. I got to ride my cousin Max's bike! It goes fast.

So much to do...

My great grandmother gave me a dolly. I like to get her undressed and put her to bed. Dolly loves to dance.

Do you like my cat ears?

The Best Daddy in the world

I have the best daddy in the world. He has taught me so much in the last nine months. I am sad that he is back at work now. To start with I thought he was playing the 'going to work' game, but he didn't come back for hours and hours. I only go for 30 seconds when I play that game. He does take his keys and his bag and his lunch...just like me...but he takes a lot longer to come home.

Now I have to put up with Mummy. She's not as fast as Daddy and I'm not sure she knows all of the games to play. She does put me in the trolley at the supermarket...but it's not the same. I spend lots of time in the supermarket calling for DAddddddddyyyyyyyyyyy. Dadddddddyyyyyyyyy. But I can't find him anywhere.

Every time a car comes up our shared driveway I think Daddy might be home...I'm only lucky once a day.

He built me a swing trapeze thing! I think that it is lots of fun. Pooh likes to play on it too.

He taught me how to drink the best beer and even how to spot a Tui and gets beer from the fridge. I can say 'beer Daddy' and 'tui'. I can spot a Lion on a car and say 'grrr'. Daddy says they only have lions on the best cars.

He taught me lots of people's names...he has great techniques for doing this. Here is me learning
Aunty Chrissie's name. I'm looking forward to seeing her again at Xmas.

Daddy made me a poor man's slide. It is so much fun! I can climb up and slide down for ages and ages. Pooh likes to go on the slide too. Daddy even lets me ride my car down it (Mummy can't watch that...she says it freaks her out - she's a big scardy cat).

Dad used some of the same wood to make a car for Playcentre. He made it like Liam's favourite car! Red and fast!

I am going to miss Daddy at Playcentre...and so will lots of the mums. Dad is very good at building things for them.

Daddy also taught me how to sleep in a big girl's bed.

I will miss you lots Daddy. Thank you for all that you have done with me and taught me.

Love love me

PS I am looking forward to the baby coming out of Mummy's tummy. He has been having night nights in there for a very long time! I like to give him kisses and cuddles. I'm not sure how life will be when he arrives. Mum says that I will not get as much of her time and attention...but I always say please and then get what I want...right?

Booking her Haircut

Hi, Can you book me in for a haircut please.
Not a problem, what time would you like?
I am very busy, I will finish my lunch and come down now.
That will be good, see you soon Jessica.
I will get my driver and be there in 15 minutes, bye.

That went good, Cathy was very nice and had lots of toys. The driver stole my lollypop, I will have to dock his pay. Got to go and play, I am very busy.

Mothers Day

Aunty Chrissie and Uncle Aps came to visit at Easter too!

At Easter Aunty Chrissie and Uncle Aps came all the way from Queenstown. It was heaps of fun to see them. This photo is of us having a fun picnic.

Max and I at Lollipops

My cousin Max and I went to Lollipops in Palmerston North. It was so much fun! We were dare devils.

Playcentre

Daddy and I go to Playcentre once a week. I love it!

I play outside on all of the equipment and I read books inside.

Aunty Gel and Grandma have come a few times - they love it too!

Grandma and Grandpop had a big party!

I was allowed to come for half an hour, then they made me go to bed next door. How rude!

I did get to eat lots of chippies in that half an hour. They are yummy. I especially like the way you stick them in dip. I'm not so keen on dip itself for eating - I just like the way they go in and out so smoothly. Anyone can eat them for me.

Aunty Gel came to visit

She came and spent lots of time with me. Check out her website:http://www.gelandmikeuk.blogspot.com/

Haircut

I'm so proud of my Daddy! Yesterday he went to Queensgate and had his hair all shaved off in front of lots and lots of people. The only time my Daddy is around lots and lots of people is at Hurricanes rugby games so I think he was very brave up there on the stage.
He did it to raise money for little children who get cancer. We think it's a very good cause.
