I love my Daddy!!

I like it when my Daddy is on holidays, I get to spend lots of time with him!!

Here we are just hanging out in my room.

I also get to help Daddy with his paintings!! Daddy is teaching me how to stretch a canvas.

Standing up.

I like to stand up. I like to follow Mummy around the house. I like to help her with the laundry...

...and with the vacuuming...I love the vacuum cleaner - Mummy keeps hiding it from me, but I know where to find it. I like to try and sneak off and play with the vacuum cleaner, although I can't seem to get it to make that loud noise, the way mummy can. I know where the cord is and I know how to push the button so it turns on, (I know this becuase whenever Mummy is doing the vacuuming I always seem to turn it off for her, but then she turns it back on again, so I turn it off again, and then Mummy tells me to stop it!) but I haven't figured out how to plug it in yet!!... That's my next challenge!! (Mummy says: U-Oh not if I can help it!!)

Playing chasey

My day with Grandad & Grannie.

One Saturday I got to hang out with my Grandad & Grannie for the day all by myself!! I didn't miss Mummy and Daddy at all!! My Mummy had to work and my Daddy had a sculpture workshop to go to. I had lots of fun! Grandad and Grannie took me shopping, then I had lunch at their place and afterwards they took me for a walk and a play at the park!! Thank you Grandad & Grannie for taking care of me for the day!!

My Grandad took these videos - he has lots of cameras, he likes to take photos of me just like Mummy does!!

At the NGV.

We had a family outting to the NGV (National Gallery of Victoria). We went to see the Guggenheim Collection: 1940's to Now exhibition. The exhibition had lots of modern art. My favourite art piece was the table with lots of real human and animal teeth on it!! I wanted to pick them up! Mummy told me that it wasn't a good idea!

We had lunch at the cafe, I had a chicken sandwich, some mashed sweet potato and broccoli and some yoghurt! I have a good appetite!

Feeding the Ducks!

My Daddy is on holidays and yesterday I took him to the park to feed the ducks!! I love watching the ducks swim about in the pond. They make me laugh when they quack!

The ducks liked the bread we bought from home, I liked it too!!

At the Eltham Pub Hotel.

Today is my Kau Fu's (Uncle Jon) birthday and today I am now 9 months old can you believe it! Only 3 more months until I turn 1!! Yesterday we celebrated my Kau Fu's birthday at the Eltham Pub Hotel. My Dad and I took a walk there - it's very close to my home! Mum couldn't come becuase she was working - so I ate her share of her lunch!! I had a potato chip, a bit of vegies and some of my Por Por's drink - I really liked it becuase it was fizzy!!

Under the Bridge.

At my second swimming lesson I learnt how to hold my breath underwater!! Aren't I clever!

It's ok Annie, don't cry!

My cousin Annika, Aunty Amanda, Uncle Andy and Uncle Simon came to visit yesterday afternoon. They stayed for dinner too!! I was so excited I didn't want to go bed!! I liked to look at my cousin. She sleeps lots, and when she cried I just stroked her head!

My first swimming lesson!

On Saturday morning Mummy & Daddy took me for my very first swimming lesson.
This is me sitting by the side of the pool waiting to get my feet wet!

My Daddy couldn't wait to take me into the water! He said that he has been looking forward to this day ever since I was born!

As you can see I absolutely loved it!!

My Daddy will take me swimming every Saturday!! Yeah!!

Later that afternoon I was so tired I had a 3 hour nap!!


My swimming instructor teaching me how to kick my legs!

Turning over...

Through the tunnel...

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall...

Going through the hoop!

O,oh, someone needs his cot lowered!!

My day at Eltham North Outdoor Adventure playground.

Yesterday mummy took me to the Eltham North undercover Adventure playground - it was huge! There were lots of things to climb and explore, it had different levels that you could climb up and down - a bit like a huge cubby house! I could not do most of the things there, but I did like playing with the giant abacus!...

...and crawling through the tunnel!

My fun day continued...

We also went for a walk in Eltham North and we stopped by at the Edendale Community Farm. There was a herb called Chocolate Mint, it smelt yummy!












I also saw some ponies, big black roosters, lots of hens and turkeys too! They were making lots of noise. There were some goats too but they were too far away for me to get a picture with them.

Swing, swing...

Making my Mummy proud!

...What shall I cook for mum?...

Making my Dad proud!

Smells Like Teen Spirit!!???

Mum bought me this jumper - she says it's one of her favourite bands. But really she bought it for me beause she missed me so much when she went to work!!

Showing off on my Super Saucer!

Playing on my super saucer

A trip down memory lane.

This is me when I was 2 months old, with my great grandmother. I call her 'Tai Por' in Chinese...

















...and this is me with my Goong Goong.

I can crawl now!!

Winter is here!

Look at me, I am an eskimo!!





























My Gran Cathy knitted me this lovely green cardigan - very Metrosexual!!??...

An afternoon at Laughing Waters, Eltham.

On Sunday Mum & Dad took me to visit their friends; Hannah, John & their daughter Britney. Hannah is an artist and she has been doing an Artist in Residence here in Eltham. We had lunch with them and some of their other friends - they have two little boys. They also came to see Hannah's art. It was such a nice day, we spent it outside - I loved playing on the rug!!






This is me saying hello to Jet who is 19 months old.












Later in the afternoon we all went for a walk down to the Yarra. My dad took me over to the rocks to show me the running water up close. The sound of the water rushing over the rocks made me laugh - I guess thats why they call this place Laughing Waters!!??








This is Finn - he liked to stroke my head!??
