At Great Grandad's.

Today I spent half the day with Nanna while Mummy had a massage. She took me to the park and we had morning tea together. Then we went to visit Great Grandad and bought some lunch for everyone to have.

This morning when I got dressed Daddy says I looked like a nerdy school boy in this outfit! Do I? Mummy thinks I look smart. Nanna bought the blue vest for me. So I thought I should show it off. Great Grandad lives in the best place because he has the trains run right passed his lounge room window! I can hear them a mile a way and run up to the window to catch a glimpse of the trains that go by!

Great Grandad had a new digital flat screen TV delivered today too. He is showing me the remote control and is asking me how to use it - because I know how to use one!
Watching the TV installer man install Great Grandad's new TV. It has Tele-text which is perfect for Great Grandad because he is deaf and uses a hearing aid.

Packing time!

I am helping Mummy pack her bag for when she goes into hospital soon. I am also helping Mummy pack nappies and clothes for my new baby brother or sister too.
Me modelling one of my newborn outfits that I surprisingly used to fit into. Look at how tiny I was back then!

I like to lift up Mummy's top and pat her big round tummy and say 'baby'. I give the baby a kiss and a hug too! It's going to be here very soon! Mummy & Daddy are very worried that the baby will arrive before our house renovations are finished - It's taken a lot longer than what was planned. They are hoping that the baby doesn't do what I did; - arrive 2 and half weeks early!

Toys from the Toy Library.

On Tuesday, Mummy & I were on Toy Library duty. That means we have to be there to help set up, pack up and count toys when people come to return their borrowed toys.

This week I borrowed this great rocking whale which can ride 2 people on it. I like to ask people to ride on the back of the whale with me. I also borrowed a box full of magnetic balls and rods. They are fun to put together and take apart.

Some very special photos of me.

One of the earliest photos of me - Daddy has a tear in his eye... he was very, very happy to meet me for the first time.

A happy chubby me with Mummy. I think I am about 3 or 4 months old!

Me in my Mountain Buggy in Fremantle, Perth WA - at just 6 months old!

Posing for the camera and showing off my cot at Por Por & Goong Goong's place!

Por Por says that I look just like my Mummy when she was a baby. She has a photos of Mummy looking like this one of me playing with the toy apple.

Por Por & me, looks like my top front teeth have just appeared!

Mummy found all these special photos on my Por Por & Goong Goong's camera and she thought it would be nice to share them with everyone!
Mummy & Daddy can't believe I am going to turn 2 soon!

Riding the Wiggles boat.

Riding Thomas the Tank Engine.

A few weeks ago, my Goong Goong & Por Por took me to a shopping centre. Thomas the Tank Engine was there and I had a ride! I got a special Thomas the Tank Engine ticket that I kept looking at and a Thomas stamp on my hand.

Addicted to Fishing!

My obsession is to watch my Daddy's fishing DVDs whilst practicing my casting and reeling in the fish. My Goong Goong let me use one of his old fishing rods to play with. I even have a fishing rod at my Grandad & Granny's place for when I go there to play.

Wednesdays with Grandad & Gran.

Every Wednesday Mummy drives me to Grandad & Gran's place in Mitcham so I can spend the day with them & my cousin Annie. At the end of the day, my Daddy comes and picks me up on his way home from work.

Here are some photos that my Grandad took of us! I have lots and lots of fun! I love to play with Annie too! We like to copy each other and I have taught her how to say 'O-oh'!

Last Wednesday Gran & Grandad took us on the train into the city!

Gran is smart, she has a twin stroller for us - she's pretty clever to look after two toddlers at the same time!

(You might need to fast forward a bit of the Conversation Hour as Daddy is on half way into the interview.)

Buzz PJs!

I love novelty PJs - this is my latest from my collection - Buzz Light-Year from Toy Story!

'To infinity and beyond!'

Cute little boy!

My trike.

My Por Por & Goong Goong like to spoil me! They bought me a trike! Until I learn how to pedal on my own, it has a handle for someone push me along. When I am older the handle can come off and I won't need help! It has a little trailer at the back so I can put my fishing gear inside it and go on adventures! A bit like my Daddy - he likes to take the trailer with him when he drives the car - he puts all sorts of rubbish and junk in it!

I look like a thug!

Before we left to go to Phillip Island I managed to bump my forehead on 2 occasions in the same spot - I've hidden them under my beanie. On another occasion I decided to ride my car down 3 flights of stairs and ended up with a carpet graze on my nose - as you can see in this picture! Then to top it all off, I slipped on some stairs at the house we stayed at in Phillip Island and knocked the inside of my top lip - which bled like crazy! I scared everyone as they all thought I lost a tooth! I nearly made my Aunty Amanda cry! So I look like a thug with bruises, grazes and a swollen lip!!

I love to fish!

Holiday at Cowes Philip Island.

I went to Philip Island for 4 days with Mummy, Daddy, Uncle Simon, Uncle Andy, Aunty Amanda, Annika and Uncle Dom.

I went fishing at the pier at sunset - it was very pretty.

Having breaky with Annie! - We enjoyed each others company! We would giggle and throw food and chat away!
This is Uncle Dom with Annie & I. He is getting married in February next year!

We visited the Philip Island Wildlife Park. We fed the kangaroos, emus, wallabies, and swans.

This is a dingo - they were very fascinated by me - I was kept very far away from the gates just in case I got bitten!
