December is full on! My socialising has really taken off. On the weekend, I went to four things! Lunch, swimming, a picnic and then dinner at a Thai restaurant. There were lots of people to see, and many cuddles to be had from my great aunts, uncles, and my second cousins. Phew! I have a lot of family! Luckily I love EVERYONE and don’t mind traveling in the car or visiting new and exciting places. I also get to wear lots of different clothes which is fun. Here are some of my outfits:
Dress with cardigan & leggings... pyjamas and halo... pretty summer dress
The picnic I went to, was with my little friends, and it was really crazy. There were Mums and Dads everywhere, it was windy, so we had to move spots, but we all got a present. I love the wrapping paper. Here’s me playing with Henry and Lily at the picnic.
No time to talk, must play!
It doesn’t stop there, today I went to my Mummy’s old work, Bell Shakespeare. I had a chat to John Bell, then I had lovely cuddles from Julia, Willa, Michelle, Rachelle, Gilly, Erin and the list goes on! I was very popular.
But the thing I’m most excited about is getting on a plane for the first time, and going to see my Dallie, Pop, Memme and PapaD. Plus my aunty Amber, uncle Nigel and my two cousins Isaac and Amelie.
I’m going to miss my uncles Kit and Todd, aunty Bronwyn and my cousin Addison though I hope I see them soon!
Okay… so I don’t have any teeth, and I can’t crawl yet, but damn it! I can do some things! I can get around, it’s just by sliding backwards. Don’t leave me on a polished wood floor or who knows where I will end up. Probably wedged under the TV table or kicking at the fridge!
I started over near the couch. Travelling backwards is exciting, but tiring...
Also I can clap my hands now! Oh it’s so cool. I even practice when nobody is watching. It’s amazing watching my hands work under my command!
What else… let’s see? Oh yeah… when Mummy reads me the book ‘That’s not my dragon’ I’m starting to remember how the story goes. Each page has a new interesting texture and as soon as Mummy turns the page I put my finger on the exact spot where the new material is. Clever huh? Also, every time we go down to the garage I love the sound of my voice echoing, so I make this ‘Uh uh uh’ sound, so I can hear it. There are so many new things to check out!
We had our last Gymbaroo for the year and we were allowed to dress up in our Christmas gear. Mum put a weird headband on my head… it kept following me…
Hey... what is that above my head?
I’ll save my favourite photo for my Christmas email though… hee hee… you’ll see!
This week I had a really big day. I had all of my baby friends together in one place at the same time! Well, all of my baby friends who live in Sydney anyway. My friend Maddie had been on a big plane ride, all the way back from a place called London. I’m going on a plane ride soon too, but it’s no where near as far. We had a massive picnic to celebrate Maddie visiting… so there were eleven of us babies and all the mummies. Check us out:
Back row – Edward, Me, Darcy, Tom, Eddy; Front row – Sofia, Maddie, Cohen, Henry, Eva, Lily
It was totally full on! There was fruit and crackers going everywhere. I particularly enjoyed squashing banana into the picnic rug. Mmmmmm…. yellow mush. Oh yeah, I also wore a ribbon in my hair for the first time too.
Butter wouldn't melt in my mouth...
I was tres French. I also scared Mummy a lot. I ate some new food she cooked for me at the picnic, and it had such a new texture, that I gagged so much it sounded like I was choking. This was not funny, I realised, as Mummy held me upside down to clear my throat. Oh dear!
It’s been such a big few days, I think I need a nap!
You can tell I’m getting bigger, because my food has changed a lot. I used to just have milk from Mummy and the bottle, but now I’m eating three meals a day, with a bottle of milk after each one, as well as snacks. Amazing! I had my last booby-milk over a week ago. Mummy seemed a bit sad, but I have all these new, interesting foods to eat, so I don’t mind one bit. I still get plenty of cuddles, so it’s all good. Also the coolest thing happened… now when I get in the car, I can see where the car is going.
My seat is facing forward... this is cool!
Did you know that I can eat big people food sometimes? Which is so good, because I keep eyeing off Mum and Dad’s food, and finally I can eat some of it! Watch me eat some of Daddy’s toast when I’m out shopping…
Did you know that I have a new cousin? Her name is Amelie, which is French like my name. Well done Aunty Amber and Uncle Nigel. I get to meet Amelie in about two weeks. So I’m now older than two of my cousins, Amelie and Addison, but Isaac is still older than me. I wish that I could see my cousins all the time
In fact I miss all my family! So say hi to me here on my blog so I don’t feel so far away.
I hope I see them soon!
