One of My Favourites

I thought I would share with you one of my favourite toys from Daddy's place. He calls them "maracas". They make a sound when you shake them. I like them because they are easy to hold onto and they fit in my mouth. I got them for christmas. I've learnt to shake them and I can also make a bigger sound by banging them together.

Adventures on the Ground

Today I've decided to put 2 videos up to show you all my great crawling and exploring skills (and all without a bib on!). It's great to be able to go where I want to go. I found a ceramic snail at Daddy's place that makes a cool sound when I pat it's back.
You might also like to know that I have started swimming lessons already. Mummy takes me to the pool once a week and I got to have a splash with other babies. I think it's pretty fun but some of the others don't like it at all.

The Opposite of Backwards

I'm now finally getting the hang of crawling forwards. When I'm on the floor and I see something I want, I can usually get there. Sometimes I can even do it quickly. It takes a bit of effort and concentration though.
Daddy was filming me the other day when I was crawling. Once I saw that video camera though, I had to get it. As you can see in the video I got pretty close!
You might also be wondering why Daddy was growling at me. That's because I can do it too. Mummy taught me to growl like a tiger and now I like to do it a lot. It sounds pretty scary!

A Swim at the Beach

Today I went to a birthday party for another little boy called Lewis. He turned 1. The party was down at Darook Park at Cronulla and it was very nice. Daddy took me into the water for a swim. The water was warm and I got to have a bit of a splash. The water was salty so when I splashed my face I couldn't stop licking it.
After my swim I got quite tired so I had a little sleep in my pram. When I woke up, Daddy already had the camera out. I was still a little bit asleep and I'm sure you can see that in the photo.

I also got my first taste of dirt. I had a play on the blanket but I soon found the grass and dirt underneath it. I got to taste sticks and bark too!

Happy Australia Day!

Happy Australia Day everyone. This is another day that I'm not quite sure about, although I did see a lot of flags around today. Mum and Dad took me down to Cronulla and there were a lot of people there. A lot. Since it was a special day I got my hair spiked up! I reckon it looked pretty cool.

I'm getting good at eating solid foods now, and I had a fruit salad at Cronulla. I even had kiwifruit and pineapple! You can't see in these photos, but I have 2 nice big teeth coming through on the bottom.

How to Crawl?

If only I knew how to crawl. I’m sure it has something to do with my legs and arms but I’m just not sure. I can lift myself of the ground with my arms, but then I try to kick and I don’t really go anywhere. I can spin around in circles though. I’m sure I’ll work it out any day now….


(p.s. I do a pretty good fluff about 1:00 into this video)

Another Milestone for Me!

I reached another "growing up" milestone recently, but gee, it wears me out! I can sit up straight with out anything around me. I used to be able to do it a little bit, but once I lost my balance, down I went. Not anymore. I can sit up for ages. But eventually I might wobble just a bit too much and I'll be on my back. I can even get from sitting up to on my tummy in one go.
