It is official... I am completely off my knees and WALKING!!
Watch me go!!

Hola everybody! Our daddy turned 36 last week - on the day we lost to the French... so he wasnt a very happy man pretty much all day. He is probably very happy right now though as he is fishing up in Taupo with a few mates. He comes back tomorrow, hopefully with a big fat trout to cook up, but mum isnt holding her breath on that one...

Mummy had her first alcoholic night away from us last weekend - she hasnt got on it since July 2004 - can you believe it!!! It was a hens night and it started at French Farm for lunch, followed by Cosmopolitans all afternoon (well Mum only needed one...) and then she danced the night away at a pub in Akaroa till midnight. Not bad going really. She actually had a sore back for this entire week as she did literally dance like a maniac nonstop for over 4 hours - they all called her the 'energizer rabbit' the next day. Anyway we did miss her while she was away but daddy coped pretty well for the 24hours considering he had to take us to a birthday party too!

PS: i am choosing to walk now instead of crawl about 90% of the time now....... look out Zara!!!

PPS: my mum is also proud to say that finally, (and about 8 months overdue) i am now sleeping right through the night from 6pm - 7am Wahoo to that !!!

Well here I am into the beer again... i cant help but check out the recycling bin most days but sadly they are always completely empty. Now that daylight savings is here we are having lots more time in the sandpit in the evenings while mum gets dinner sorted - but i have to say the slide that granny got for us at Xmas is my favourite activity - there have been countless painful landings but i just get up like a wee energizer rabbit and keep having fun. Mum has had to bring the whole thing into the living room sometimes cos i kick and scream when i am taken off it if it is getting too cold to be outside. Here is Amy with her wee friend Marley at the playground... and down at the farm with all the orphans. We love staying at Granny's place!!
