11 months old!

The countdown to my first birthday has begun... how are Christmas plans coming?

I am really enjoying being able to move, you won't believe the things that you can discover... pulling CD's out of the TV cabinet is so fun! And so is pulling pots out of the cupboard! Daniel tends to take the things I want to play with away though... soon I'll be able to catch him.

I have been a bit sick for the last 5 days or so, just a virus, but I am not eating much or sleeping well so the whole family has been feeling a bit tired. But I am very happy and love puddling about doing my own thing.

We don't know how heavy I am, but I am able to wear my lovely summer clothes which are size one so I must be getting bigger! When I am not sick I love eating porridge with Daddy and Daniel, I like to try anything that Mummy or Daddy are eating (Daniel tries to slip food to me to although he's not really allowed to do that), and I love fruit, especially oranges and kiwifruit. I still love Mummy milk and water is fun to spit out or blow raspberries with!

I love being outside and particularly watching birds, they are so interesting! I love music and playing guitar with Daniel and he is a great singer. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is guaranteed to cheer me up if I am getting a bit grumpy and I can wave and clap and am trying to talk a lot.


Playing with a bunny at Butterfly Creek (I liked pulling its ears but Mummy said that the bunny probably didn't like it much)


Sleepy girl... just after dinner


I can pull out all the pots and banging them is so fun!

I can crawl!

I am finally on the move! Its more of a shuffle-crawl but I can get places.

And this is what Daniel did with with duplo once I started moving... he's not too impressed actually

And the chances of the hat staying on are...

I love my big brother

And he loves me ;)

TACKLE!

He's a great drummer

And I think he is just wonderful!

Less than two months before Christmas!

How's your Christmas shopping going?

I am well over 10 months now and I am doing really well. I am trying very hard to move and have become an expert in going backwards. Not quite what I want to do but I am sure I'll find the forward button soon! I am interested in anything and everything, particularly books and magazines, shoes, jewelery, glasses, phones, anything electronic, plastic, cardboard, paper... Mummy could keep on writing forever.

I am eating well, I particularly like eating what everyone else is eating and can manage some surprising things like bolognaise sauce and I love chewing on meat. I am still on Mummy milk but quite enjoy drinking water out of my cup as well.

I can now clap and wave and am very proud of both!
