February was REALLY busy! Yeah yeah, I know I say that all the time, but it really was! I was getting faster and faster with my crawling, working on my walking feet, plus I was getting ready to turn ONE!

Mum and I took lots of trips to the shops, but sitting quietly in my pram just isn’t my thing any more. It’s much better getting places by myself and there is so much space in shopping centres, so I like to explore them. Like the time I took off through the aisles of Target, happily giggling and tugging on clothes and pulling things off shelves. Then Mum rudely picked me up and put me back in my stroller… NOT FAIR! You can still see the tears in my eyes as Mummy tried to comfort me with a bottle.

I thought I didn't need Mummy, but then I realised I wanted milk

I also had lots of adventures with my friends in the park. We are always at the playground now, because we like to play and the weather is nice. No more cosy coffee shops for those chatty mummies. Our playground has a sandpit, with a water tap for soggy sand play. Wet sand feels AWESOME! I love to get it everywhere, eat it and sit right in the middle of it! Yummmmm!

Gritty and dirty... just how I like my vegemite toast.

I think I must have grown my funny bone this month too, because I’m really funny and I have great comic timing just like my Dad.

Checking the beer / my best smile / hair modelling / eating elmo's head

And all month, I liked nothing more than being helped to walk EVERYWHERE!

My top says it all!

So there you go. Pretty cool huh? I’ll write a super birthday special for you next.
