Its princess fairy Holl-a-reena doing her royal wave (or should i say our Trekky daughter??)

It was all to much for one little party goer, he put on his hat, and set off on foot .... leaving his own birthday party behind!

Happy 1st Birthday Chilli xx

Mummy and I have taken up riding. Its good fun, but I don't really like going over the bumps or gutters or anything remotely rough. I bite my tongue when it gets bumpy, then I cry, then mummy has to ride faster to get home quicker, then I cry louder cause she won't pull over, so by the time we get home I am generally hysterical.

I'm sure riding will get better!

My happy little princess

I am now mobile! I can crawl and stand up on my own, very clever! I am almost 10 months old now, and I have 6 teeth. I can say Dada, and Baba (bella) and mum thinks she heard Mama yesterday (??) Im looking forward to christmas, not sure what it is but sounds fun! See you all soon xx

We just got back from a nice long weekend away in Daylesford. We had a great time, very relaxing, lounging round the house, lots of spas and nice long walks.
I crashed out on Mummy, too much relaxing is hard work!

All rugged up, off for a walk with daddy

In the last week I have discovered what mum and dad now refer to as the "cheeky smile". I don't think its cheeky, i just want to make sure they get a good photo of me. Nanny and Pa have been to visit in the last week and we had lots of fun, especially at swimming when nanny took me in the pool (and almost drowned me!! only kidding) I have just cut my 6th tooth, am able to crawl, but i still prefer to commando, and i dont' like to sit still. I am now 91/2 months old.
look at me crawl

thanks for the pjamas Aunty Polly xx
my mamma still makes me laugh!

Today Nanny took me swimming,
I was a little unsure at first,
but it ended up alright in the end.

Ok I know I'm cute, but enough with the photos already.
Umm, Pa, I, urrr umm, think your squishing me!
I love my Pa!

Storytime with Nanny

I think Nanny is mocking me?
Cheesy smile for the camera

Today we went on a little road trip up to the Dandenong ranges national park (10 minutes from home). Daddy and Mummy and I went and did the 1000 stairs track, then came back down and had a picnic in the park, it was great, nice and hot (32 today) and lots of rolling on the grass. I have started saying dad dad now and I am just about to take off crawling. I have 5 teeth and the 6th is not far away. I'm looking so forward to seeing Nanny and Pa on Tuesday!! xx
