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.

Hi

I like to stress my mum out by climbing everywhere I can. My dad just thinks it's great and takes lots of photos of me doing nutty things.

Nana Ponting came to visit and Mummy returned to work!

Nana Ponting came to visit last week. She was fun to have staying - she played with me.

Mummy went back to work...Daddy is looking after me now, he's fun.

I'm a pussy cat...meow!

I love pussy cats, they are fun to play with. I have learnt to pat them carefully.

I can crawl really fast now and stand up all by myself. I prefer to crawl because it's faster than holding on to things and trying to walk.

My favourite time to crawl is when Mummy or Daddy are trying to put a nappy on me. Once the dirty nappy is off so am I. I look back at Mum or Dad and giggle as I take off!

My cousin Max and cuddles

On the way home from our big trip we stayed with Grandad John and saw my cousin Max! He is fun to play with cos he can crawl too.

We gave each other Christmas presents and played together.

He even let me play on his big Ford car. It has an accelerator and a brake and it even has a gear lever. Whatever...I was most impressed by the horn.

We are home now...a whole week away is a lot for a little girl. I didn't get to sleep two nights in a row in the same room! I'm glad to be home but I'm very very tired.

Thank you to everyopne I saw who fed me and cuddled me and bathed me and let me sleep at their house.

I hope to see you all again soon.

Remember to visit at Easter for Grandma and Grandpop's big party.

Daddy and I went to Auckland

We visited Great Aunty Dale and Uncle Chris and their doggies. I even met Great, great Aunty Nan...she's 90!

Fun with the father of the groom, the groom and the sister of the groom.

The day after the wedding...chilling at Kev's place.

Family fun at the wedding of the year

I was loved by many people at this wedding. I think it's cos I was nearly as pretty as the bride and she's an ex cheer leader prom queen from America!

Me in my pretty dress and the wedding of the year.

My second cousin, Christopher got married on the 27th of December.

Thanks Stacey for the pretty dress to wear. I liked meeting you a few days later.

Grandma liked her present on Xmas Day

Everyone gave Grandma a trip to Martinborough for Xmas. She seemed to like the idea lots.

Great Gram and Ian came to Grandma and Grandpop's house for Xmas as well. Ian pulls great faces, I like to copy him.

Christmas Day

How pretty is my dress? Thank you Aunty Mary and Pete for my pretty dress. I got it covered in jelly beans and strawberries and anything I could lay my hands on. Lucky for me Grandad is such a good dress cleaner!

Christmas Day was so much fun. Everyone got to wear silly hats that Santa brought, open lots of presents (ya for wrapping paper) and eat lots.

Uncle Ant gave me a saxaphone that plays Cookie Monster jazz...that is so loud and so much fun!

Grandma and Grandpop gave me a truck and some cars...I can make them go brmmmmmmm brmmmmmm.

Shopping Xmas Eve

Well...not all that exciting I say.

I did have my photo taken with Santa but he was a bit scary.

BUT just two days before I TOOK MY FIRST STEPS!!!!!!!! YA YA YA

We had a birthday dinner for Aunty Chrissie and everyone was watching how clever I was standing by myself then...I toddled. I haven't done much since but it's a start.

Congratulations Mary

This is my American Aunty Mary. She just got engaged!!!!!!

My Trolley

I love it

Being silly in my highchair

What is more fun? Food, singing and giggles!

Mum and I have lots of fun in the mornings. It often takes us an hour to have breakfast but Mum says there's nothing more important to do.

Check out my fun bib in this photo. It is a really great bib, my friend Mac's grandma gave it to me. Ya.

Mum was bored waiting for this photo to upload so she found the website the bib came from:

Hanging with Dad

I love to play with Dad.

This photo was taken very early in the morning. Daddy got up with me at 6am and let Mum sleep in! Mum says that he is the best husband in the world.

He and I played in this box while we were still in our pyjamas. It was so much fun.

Daddy always comes up with the best games and he lets me splash all over the bathroom.

Xmas with the Gartys in Khandallah

We had a very early Christmas celebration at Great Aunty Ange and Uncle Pete's house. I loved it because everyone wanted to cuddle me.

This is a photo of me and my second cousin Penny, she gave me great cuddles. She is a ballet dancer, one day she might teach me some steps.

While I was there I got in my pyjamas cos it got really late and I was up past my bedtime.

Doing the Gardening

Hi

I love to help Daddy do the gardening. There are so many bugs to eat and so much grass to pull out. I always wear my hat when I go outside cos I don't want to get burnt.

The best times I have had outside have been at Playcentre with Mum. We play in the sandpit, on the swings and with the cars. Daddy's going to take me to Playcentre next year. I'm looking forward to that. Mum says to be careful with me and the big cars cos I'm like my Daddy. I never want to get out of them! Sometimes I let the whole neighbourhood know that I don't want to get out of the cars.

Daddy's birthday

On Daddy's birthday he got a back pack to carry me in. I think that it is great. He says that we will be able to go for lots of walks with it next year. Mummy thinks that it's much more sensible than a baby seat for a bike, she's a scaredy cat.

We went up through the Belmont National Park to some waterfalls. I loved it, I giggled and giggled at the water. Then I fell asleep on the way back down. Daddy says that he thinks he should take Great Aunty Sharon up the track...maybe when she and Uncle Kev come for the Sevens in February. I think that should be fun.
