Growing and learning

Today i ate a banana, and i actually enjoyed it. It is amazing to think that I thought i didn't like it because i never used to, and if mummy never gave me another one i wouldnt have realised that i liked them. Mystery.

Apart from that my day was easy. I had huge big sleeps, 2 and a half hours this morning, 2 hours this afternoon. That was nearly the whole day slept away. I went to Buderim, had lunch. Auntie Cake came to visit. I had chats and kisses with "Charlotte" (My reflection.) and now i am waiting for dinner.

Am i Irish?

Today walking through Buderim a man stopped and asked what part of Ireland i was from. He asked mummy if she was sure when she said i wasn't irish at all. He said i looked like an irish princess, and my parents must be very special people to be blessed with such a beautiful baby. :)

Monday!

Yesterday was a busy day, filled with lots of hard work and swimming. We woke up early in the morning and went to the markets to buy some plants and fruit! I really enjoyed going to the markets and i got to have my first taste of popcorn... i didn't like it very much though. It felt funny on my tongue!

Once we'd gotten home and eaten breakfast (yummo bacon & eggs!) I helped do lots of sweeping, and washing the fence and then some gardening. It was hard work, but so much fun and i got to spray everybody with the hose. I thought that was really funny, but i kept also spraying myself in the face with water.

I did heaps of swimming again yesterday, i even got to use my boat that Mummy & Daddy brought me for christmas last year. It is much better for me now as i can sit up in it properly. I still prefer to be with mumma, but it is also fun in the boat now that i am used to it. When i grow up i might be a swimmer, or a fisherman in my own boat?

Today mummy and i are writing up christmas cards and letters and we are going to take our christmas photo. Hopefully if we get enough time we can go down to the beach as well. That will be really great as we haven't gone to the beach in a little while.

Nothing else to report. Nap time for Charli.

Lets start with last night,

I got home from daddys and had lots of cuddle times with mummy and finished watching the movie she was watching. It was called "Australia". After dinner last night we went down to Mooloolaba and had a coffee at Emjays. Or mummy had a coffee, i got to have a little bit of vanilla milkshake. it is the first time mummy has let me drink some milk shake and it was sooooo yummy. I wasn't very good at sharing it. At Emjays i did lots of dancing to Jason Mraz & Michael Jackson. It was fun to be at the beach as we have been avoiding it this week with schoolies going on. I have the best dance moves now, i have learnt how to spin around in circles, and i do really cool "bobs". i think i'd win a dance contest for sure!

I didn't get to sleep untill 10.30 last night! I was such a good girl but it was a really late night. It didn't mean I slept any better though, i woke up at 1, and then again at 4. Luckily i got to have some snuggles in mummys bed and woke up again at 7. That doesn't happen very often, it was such a lovely treat.

Today we were supposed to go to see Uncle Matt in Brisbane for a bbq, but we couldn't put petrol in our car to get down there. Instead i did lots of swimming to try and cool down. I am getting very good at jumping in the pool and i actually blew proper bubbles today! All my practicing has been paying off!!! I have learnt so much, and am getting so confident in the pool. I learnt today how to climb out just encase i ever fall in.

I ate all my meals today with my knife and fork, i made such a big mess but it is so much fun and it makes me feel like a grown up! Mummy took some photos but they were on the video camera which has been left upstairs. There wont be as many photos posted for a while at mummys phone is broken and the one she has borrowed doesn't have a very good camera on it.

I got to play in puddles today after it rained, and got sand stuck all on me because i was all wet. I nearly slipped over in a puddle and went for a big slide, it looked like i was surfing. I thought it was so funny and tried to do it again, unsuccessfully.

Tonight i brushed my teeth all by myself, i did all the right brushing actions and everything. I am going to grow up to have the whitest teeth ever :D. Mummy found another 2 freckles on me today, this time near my nose. She thinks they are cute because they are little baby sized freckles.

Sleep time for this tired girl. x

Quick one tonight!

Quick one tonight, short on time. Such a busy girl... so much to do, so much to see. Just some photos of the day. Not to many stories to tell. More ball practice, coffee time, girly gossips! Shopping shopping shopping! I miss the beach, mummy hasn't taken me all week because of schoolies! She is scared of all the kids. I saw Daddy this morning, that was the best thing about today! I took some photos today, i've added one on here to show my skills. Can you guess which one it is? :)

A new green ball

Yesterday Mummy brought me a brand new ball... because my old one had gone flat. It is great, big and green! I love it so much. Today i even caught it once, and have gotten very good at throwing it. I even try and bounce it but i am still learning how to do that. Most of the time I hit myself in the face but it is still one of my favourite things to do outside.I got to carry it all the way around big w and give it to the lady at the counter. I am completely in love with my new ball.

I have been helping Mummy lots lately. I help feed the dogs, clean up my toys, put 'ted' back to bed, make the beds, cook dinner, put rubbish in the bin, clean the bathroom. I am just learning so much every day, but at the same time i am testing the waters more as i am getting bigger. Mummy is good, she doesn't get angry at me very often even when i can be very naughty. This morning i threw a tantrum because i didn't want to eat my breakfast. I don't know why, sometimes i am just moody. Maybe it was my bites making me grumpy?

Mummy and I did some drawing today, and started writing on christmas cards. I was practicing getting the lids on and off and was doing really well. I can't believe how big i am getting and all the cool stuff i get to learn as i get bigger!

I went and had a coffee with Nanny Bev, & auntie Neil was there as well. That was great, i love spending time with them. I don't see them often enough. I love Nanny Bev so much, i get so excited when i see her, all the time!

After our walk today mummy let me walk all the way from the corner to our house, it made me feel like a big girl to be able to walk all that way. I was tired by the end of it though and struggled up the drive way. Mummy made me hold her hand the whole time so i didn't go to far onto the road encase any cars came down the road.

Sleep time now, hopefully I'll get to see Daddy tomorrow & get to meet baby Savanna.

Arm all wrapped up!

This is my arm in the bandage. Every time mummy takes it off i pick the bite and make it bleed straight away, or i pick off the bandaid so for now i have to keep on this bandage! Its been one of those days, ive been super grumpy. That is all for tonight. Charlotte Ann!

Yucky yucky bites!

My bites have gotten worse. Mummy had to go down and get me some antihistamines. I've now got some Claratine... i take after Daddy! I have scratched the one on my wrist so bad it is just a bloody mess. I wouldn't leave a bandaid on so mummy has put a bandage on it so that i would stop scratching it. I look like im in the wars!! I have been so grumpy but hopefully this medicine will make me better.

We walked down to the chemist this morning and on the way i saw lots of lizards. No snakes though, luckily! Mummy told me that her and Daddy once saw a platypus in the creek and that we might start coming down earlier to see if we can spot one. I think that would be awesome! :)

Busy little party girl!

Oh no I missed a day of 'blogging'! It has been such a busy weekend. We had Sophies party on Saturday at Cotton Tree. I was sad though and didn't really want to play with any of the kids... they scared me because they were so big and i just wanted to walk around in circles and play by myself. I got to have some yummy cake though and after that when most of the bigger kids left i played with Jacob and Sophie and that was lots of fun. There was a nice lady there doing face painting but she wouldn't do my face because i wasn't 2 yet... i painted my face with dirt instead!

I've gotten really bad bites on me again. 4 BIG YUCKY bits! i am being very brave... mummy is a bit concerned but is thinking i might just be allergic to mosquitoes. Again, she has been told that nothing can be done apart from panadol. I am not to sad about it and they aren't to itchy. Just look yucky!

Today, we went to Jordans first birthday. That was lots of fun as well. I got to have lots of playtime on the swings and the slide at the park. Mummy and I went on a big drive to get there and that made me a little bit grumpy. I had some more cake today-chocolate! It was so yummy. Mummy wouldn't let me have any lollies though and i got very grumpy about that. I realised later she is just looking after me and i should trust her judgement but they looked so yummy!

I have learnt how to kick in the pool while i am swimming, and how to jump into mummy's arms. I really love it! i still dont like going under too much but i am good if i get splashed in the face now. Mummy is trying to teach me how to blow bubbles, i think it is really funny but can't do it myself yet! I am still learning!

I have been dancing heaps since Amy's 21st! I think i found my grooving shoes again. Nearly everytime i hear a song i feel like dancing! I am really good too! "I feel like dancing... wooo, dancing... woo, dance the night away!" maybe when i grow up i will become a dancer/baseball player/swimmer/ im not sure yet. It is a long time away!

Friday Frenzy!

Today I spent the day with Daddy, that was really lovely. We always do such great things together. I came back to Mummys this afternoon, and we decided to go for a swim. It was a bit too cold, and I was a bit to grumpy so mummy gave me a bath instead. I then decided that i wanted to go back swimming with Nahnah and Poppa and nearly jumped into the pool in my pajamas! Mummy was horrified! But then decided it was easy enough to give me another bath so i got to have another swim. That one was much more fun, i just wasn't in the mood earlier.

Tonight I am wearing a really cool Elmo shirt that Auntie Sas brought for me before I was born. Mummy found it when she went through my bigger sized clothes. It is really great, Mummy thinks it makes me look like a boy.

Tonight for dinner I ate a big person slice of quiche, a serve of butter chicken and some chippies of poppa for dinner. All the swimming made me SUPER hungry. I made a big mess though, nearly had to have bath #3. Lucky i didnt though as we are supposed to be conserving water! Who would have thought a little girl could use sooo much water.

Must go to sleep now, I have such a busy weekend this weekend and need some restful beauty sleep (Right now though i am crying in my cot refusing to sleep!)

Is at Daddys tonight. Mummy misses me. :)

Learning to JuMP!

I am learning to jump....slowly. But it is so much fun, it makes me laugh so hard! I haven't quite worked it out yet but if i move both my legs very fast its almost like I am jumping! One day when I am bigger - practice makes perfect!

I have also gotten very good at throwing things, sometimes the wrong things like Rocks! But i am aloud to play with Chino, and i have gotten so good i can throw her toys up to 3 metres. Not all the time but i think i could be good at baseball when i am grown up!

Mummy & I did some christmas shopping today, and I saw Santa... he was a bit scary! I am getting very excited about christmas and have made some lovely gifts for my family. :). I love to colour and paint and i hope everyone loves it just as much. It is so much fun, i love to rub the paints into my legs and arms! Mummy lets me paint in just a nappy so that i don't get paint on everything.

I had some icecream before and ended up with Chocolate all over my face. It was yuuuuummmmmmmmmyyyy! I worked out that if i like the wrapper afterwards that i can get more chocolate. I wasn't sharing that with anyone. Mummy let me have the treat because I was such a good girl at dinner, and put my knife & fork in my plate when i finished, and asked nicely if i could leave the table. I have such great table manners!

Tomorrow night i get to spend the night with Daddy, i am excited! I best go to bed because it will such a big day playing i am sure.

Sweet Dreams :)

It has finally happened!!

Finally, my missing tooth has decided it is time to catch up with the rest of them! Hoorah! Mum is so happy, im in a little bit of pain as my moler is still coming through as well but now i will have 12 teeth! Such a big girl already.

Tonight I was giving everyone big open mouth, tounge poking out, kissing 'nye nye'. I even got mummy up the nose with my tooth, it was so funny. I was in such a great mood, must have had something to do with having a swim before dinner. I kept sitting on mummys head. She didn't like it very much but i thought it was hilarious. All tuckered out now though!

i met baby Scarlett today, she is so little & sweet. Scared me a little bit, i got a bit upset when she let out a horrible cry! I was much happier to play with her dog "Chino". Maybe because it was the same name as my dog?! I think when Scarlett is bigger than my dolly we can play then.

I did lots of dancing today to the new song mummy is learning on guitar, i love helping her play.

:) And that is all for todays adventures. It was a nice relaxing day at home for the most part. :)

What a hot day!

When I first woke up this morning I got to have an extra sleep with Mummy, i didn't wake up again untill 6.55am! Mummy was so happy that it wasn't 5 oclock and i just loved waking up to cuddles. It must have been why i was in such a great mood all day.

This morning I decided it would be a good idea to feed Chino some of my toast, i didn't realise that she wouldn't give it back!! After she had eaten it I tried to find it again in her mouth so i could get it back. I couldn't find it though, naughty Chino wasn't supposed to eat it all. I think her mummy should have taught her about sharing!

I went and saw Auntie Neil today for coffee. We did lots of playing. I was being so cheeky the whole time we were there. I kept pretending to walk away from mummy but i wouldn't get very far away and then i would run back again. I was trying to play pickaboo through the window, except it was see through and mummy & Auntie Neil could still see me! It was so much fun, i love going down to the beach. :) I especially love spending time with Auntie Neil!

I went for a swim this afternoon because it was hot and i was feeling a bit grumpy. I loved it, it was beautiful and cool! I kept splashing myself in my face, it was really funny. I also put my head under by myself and it was great! I am such a brave girl now. I love summer time and being able to swim.

I have just put all my toys away, drank a big drink of milk and now im off to sleep ready for the adventures of tomorrow. Hoorah!

Update!

Home safe and sound! im grumpy tonight though... all this travelling is catching up with me. I face planted today though and now have a red nose and forehead to match my bruised eye! Mummy thinks I need to start watching where I am walking! I think mummy needs to start living on the edge! :)

I ate my very first hamburger for dinner tonight and did an awesome job!! It was very yummy! I especially loved the bacon. I also had my first play with a dolls house today, and i had the best fun! The best part of it was bashing the dolly's into the floors, and scraping the table on the roof while it made an awesome noise!

Sleep time for this little girl. Sweet dreams!

Day 2! Still in toowoomba

Charli with the birthday girl Amy, Michalea & Hannah Mummy and Charli dancing

Yesterday i was so excited to wake up and have my Bubba at home. Thankyou Auntie Cake for dropping it around, i missed her so much! We have had such fun together, playing and drinking bottles. I think she might have missed me more than i missed her because there was no one there to feed her whilst she was at Daddys and he was at school.

We drove across to Toowoomba yesterday, and stopped at Somerset Dam along the way. It was very pretty. i was a really good girl in the car, but i didn't sleep for very long. Even with that i have been an angel. Everyone is very impressed with how well behaved i am.

Last night I went to Amy's 21st! It was so much fun, i spent the night dancing and socialising. I made lots of new friends with little girls and boys. I stayed up untill 10pm and was such a good girl. Mummy was very proud of me. I danced to the "Hockey Pockey!" and some Elvis. Plus some other songs that were to old for me to know but they were so much fun to groove to. I was a little fairy. There were about 5 other fairies there but Mummy thinks i was the cutest.

At the moment we are staying with Pop Max and Auntie Joan, it is so much fun. I keep trying to play with their puppy Snookey but he doesn't want to play with me. I think i might be a bit to rough. We are going to head back home later today after we spend some more time with our lovely family over here.

I keep falling over, so far i've hit my head 3 times while i've been in Toowoomba. I am such a duffer!!! No more bruises though, and barely any tears.

Enough for today, time for a snooze.

I hope everyone has a lovely day. I know that i will :)!

Day 1

Today was a good day.

I slipped in the bath first thing this morning though, i should listen to Mummy when she tells me not to walk around in the bath. But i didn't and I ended up falling over while i was trying to get my toothbrush out of the draw. There was no bleeding or bruises but i was certainly very upset!! That wasn't a very great start to the morning.

Mummy & I went and saw our friends Pam & Dave as they were leaving to go on a 6 month trip and we wont see them untill May. That was really lovely to spend the afternoon with them, i had a lot of fun playing with Dave... he is really funny and had me laughing for a long time.

We went and saw Auntie Cake tonight to get my Bubba as i missed her all day. I kept walking around looking for her with her bottle... i bet she was really thirsty!

Mummy & I also did some Christmas Crafts today, that was fun. We ended up with lots of texta everywhere. :) I love doing craft.

That is all for today. Off to Toowoomba tomorrow.

Night, sweet dreams. :)
