Pop visits

I looooove people! But I really love my family people. Guess who came to visit me? POP!

Coco Pops

Hey that has a good ring to it! As soon as he walked in the door, I was so excited! We had a brilliant time. He cuddled me, fed me chicken, yoghurt and banana, he took me for walks outside and read me stories.

We went on a beautiful walk to look at places Mummy and Daddy can’t afford. But look at the view on the way!

I love my Pop, and I can’t wait to see my Dallie, Memme and PapaD at Christmas. Mummy keeps getting all dancey and jumpy about Christmas. It better be good!

Oh I did something else really fun. I went on a swing! Up and down and backwards and forwards… why didn’t anyone tell me about this sooner? It’s so cool!

Swings are tasty!

So make sure you have a go on a swing this week.

Oops-a-daisy

This week has been a bit yuck. I’m in a bit of a grump. Mummy thinks it might be my teeth. Hmmmm… I don’t know what teeth are, I just know that I need a bit of a cry and to throw my weight around sometimes. Like when I’m put on the change table, or in the pram, or in the car seat, or after five bites of food or when I have to put my clothes on. I hate putting my clothes back on! See!

Don't make me wear this!

Don't make me wear these cute pyjamas!

Also I hit my head :( I was trying to go forward, but I kept going backwards. I tried to push forward one more time, but my arm slipped and I banged my head on the table leg. Owwwww! But Mummy scooped me up and gave me a big, fun swing in her arms and I felt much better :) I think she was a bit worried, but look at my head, you can’t hardly see anything at all!

Mini bump.

Mini bump.

It’s that slightly darker patch, above my left eye, near the little red marks on my forehead, and those marks aren’t even from the table. Hee hee… I did that myself, my fingernails are sharp!

I was also really clever. I love play time with my Daddy. He was lying on the rug, holding me up in the air, he opened his eyes wide and said ‘Coco’ and I thought, ‘Cool… target practice’, so I did a neat, petite vomit right in his eye! That’ll teach him!

Tasty delights!

Oh my goodness! It’s been a really big week. I ate something totally new!

I saw, I munched, I loved!

I saw, I munched, I loved!

No, not Mummy’s wallet… something else! When I was sleeping Mummy must have made up this new dish. I could taste some things I already like – like peas and carrots, but then there was this whole new flavour! WOW! It was chicken. Now, I don’t really know what chicken is, but I know I like it. Here’s proof!

Mmmmmmmmm!

Mmmmmmmmm!

I’ve had it three times already and it goes EVERYWHERE! I love squeezing the little bits between my fingers. How cool are fingers?

Guess what? I was on the rug today, and I was on my tummy, and I rolled about three times in a row. That’s a record for me. Mummy seems to get really excited when I stick my bottom in the air too and slide backwards. I have no idea why, but it’s fun when she smiles and claps her hands.

She also thinks that it was funny when I went to sleep the other day. So I’ll leave you with this fuzzy snap of me sleeping. Do you think it’s funny?

My first Melbourne Cup

Mmmmm, friends, toys and a plush rug? Sounds like an excuse to dress up and par-tay, so Mummy and I went for a big drive to Liz’s place. Oh yeah, there was also something to do with horsies running around a big oval thingy, but I don’t know what that’s about. I just wanted to hang out with my Paddo Posse. Check out the gang (from left to right): Darcy, Sofia, Eva, Lily and me!

Missing from the photo is my fave boy Henry, he’s off having some milk. We go swimming together on Sunday’s and he’s gorgeous. A couple of my mates were away too, my dancing queen buddy Eddy, and cutie-pie Cohen.

I had such a brilliant time playing. I sat up on my own for AGES! I wish I could move about like Sofia and Darcy can, because they can crawl. I did manage to kinda shuffle forward onto one knee and my hands… that almost counts… doesn’t it?

I didn’t get any of Mummy’s bubbly drink or big people’s food, but I did feed myself my bottle:

Check out my relaxed drinking style!

Yum! Hope you had a fun day too.

Coco Blog Beginnings

Living up to the origin of my name

Living up to the origin of her name

Well it’s high time that there was a central place to find out just what Coco is up to. She’s too young for Facebook and MySpace, so it’s the old fashioned blog that will bring Coco to everyone’s doorstep.

This blog, in earnest, begins here at the 8 month mark, so there will be no retrospective posts. So look forward to new photo and video updates of Coco’s adventures.

Au revoir… until next time. xxx

The Bean Feed

Daddy Kain knows technology. Check out what he posted the day Coco was born and beyond:

In the hours leading up to the arrival of baby Coco, I uploaded a bunch of videos and photos from my mobile to a service called Kyte. The clips were encoded and placed into a presentation clip which is available below. The best thing about this whole process was that our families interstate were able to stay abreast of what was happening in near-real time (media was live and available after approximately 3-5 minutes depending on the size of the clips). Anyway, i’m getting too technical. Enjoy the moments leading up to Coco’s birth and the messages that were posted by friends and family around the world as it happened.

For Bean’s “In da womb” videos check the blog posts <a href=”http://blog.mn8.com/2008/02/01/beans-kicking-goals-from-the-womb/”>here</a> and <a href=”http://blog.mn8.com/2007/08/30/napisan-rewind-now-with-added-lea-riley/”>here</a>The
