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!!

Hola everybody...mum got out the bubbles the other day and i loved them popping on my face... (I think) and then we went off to the forest for a walk - I thought George was quite big until we met Rolf there!!!

Amy had an allergic reaction to some shampoo the other night - so mum took some pics in case her eyes didnt get better - but eventually they did thank goodness!!

Mum had a great week last week with the latest student nanny in the house - she was the best yet and mum even went swimming while she looked after us both. Its the holidays now so mum has an action packed couple of weeks planned for us at the museum, cafes, the forest, parks, the aquarium and of course, Orana Park. Yippee!

Fianlly someone else held the camera so i was able to get a photo with my mum ( i love sucking her face)!!

Today we went to the gardens to admire the daffodils with the cuzzies. Sadly daddy wasnt there since he has had to work over in Akaroa a bit this month. the wind was a bit cold but the flowers were lovely (but didnt taste so good tho!)

Well watch this space - i can stand by myself now and i practise this ALL the time. I am as proud as punch when i do this and mum thinks i am hilarious - i am actually laughing at all the mischief i intend to get into once i can walk and run!! One of my favourite games at the moment is trying to shake the big plants in the big pots in the living room - there are apparently several bricks in each one to keep them upright but i am very intent on pulling one of them over. That game really gets mum running!

Another scary thing i like to do is try and plug things into to the wall sockets - mum has to do a daily plastic plug check and remove all nightlights etc to make sure i get bored of that game fast.

Amy likes to breastfeed alongside mum with her koala at the moment since i still want my mum morning noon and night (and 3am)....

and Amy thinks it must be her birthday again as Lorelei and Charlie donated over 70 books from their home library for us last night and she hasn't left the coffee table this morning as she is too busy checking them all out!!

Today we went to Riccarton bush markets where mum bought some yummy danish pastries to have tomorrow on Fathers Day. Amy had a great time climbing trees with the help of grandad and i just enjoyed playing in the last of the autumn leaves.

Here are some fathers day pics with amy and grandad...

Hello!! here is my big sis showing off her latest style of punk hairdos - i think mum will freak out more when she comes home like that age 16...
and being a hippo at playcentre, and here she is showing mum how to thread a string, feeding a giraffe with mum at orana park, and the early morning jump routine in my cot.
