Lemon Jam

Mummy and I picked a lemon today of Nanny's lemon tree... I asked mummy if we could make some Jam? Mummy said she didn't think so but we could try and make some lemon butter. We also got some to make some lemon chicken stir fry for nahnah, poppa and uncle ashley tonight. I enjoyed having dinner at their house. It has been a long time since I have been there.

I also got to have a sleep at Nanny & Poppys today because I was very sleepy when I got to their house. I have got my own bed there, so I told mummy. It is 'char chars bed.' I wondered where ducky was. Surely ducky should be there if it was my bed. Mummy tried to remind me it is her ducky. I say 'Nahhhh Mine Ducky Mummy'.

I think one of my favourite parts of today was playing chasing with mummy and daddy at their school today. Did you know my daddy can run faster than my mummy? She couldn't catch us. It was fun!!!!! I love having surprise visits with Daddy, especially at their big school!

I am really sleepy tonight though, quickly to bed after getting home from nahnahs and mummy is hoping for a big sleep. :)

The big tree

My mum loves to look at crazy things. Today we went for an adventure to see this big tree that nahnah and poppa found one day when they were at mooloolaba. Mummy says it has something to do with Auntie Neils wedding. Do you want to know the truth? I think they are all crazy. I didn't mind though because i got to play on the bee-ach and park while we were there. This definitely made my day great!

We were down there for such a long time, but definitely not long enough for me. You should have seen me on this balancing beam that was up high on the ship. I was a star on it, mummy said I looked just like a dancer. After the park mummy took me home for some yummy lunch and a big big sleep. I needed it after not sleeping properly for a couple of days. I am starting to feel much better though now that I am on my medicine. Much more like my normal self. I did smile my way through the sickness though. Such a champion says mummy!

Auntie Ashie was here when I woke up so it was really fun to play with her and then once she left mummy and I enjoyed a nice quite girls afternoon of reading stories, playing with my toys and puzzles, playing playdough and painting nails. We also watched lots of videos of mummy, daddy and I and looked through lots of photos because i was missing daddy.

what a great idea of mine it was to ask daddy if he would like to come and have milk cuddles after dinner. It made my day perfect to see him and have some play time and cuddle time with him. He even read me a story in bed! Just perfect!! I rushed through my bath and dinner just to get him to my house quicker. :) I love my daddy very much.

What a beautiful moon

have you seen the moon yet? I actually got to see it tonight - that made me very excited.
It was so BIG and so BRIGHT. So BEAUTIFUL. I hope he is looking down and smiling on all the people that I love.

I am not feeling much better today, my cough has gotten quite bad and I am spending a lot of time breathing rapidly with a super fast heartbeat. Mummy was concerned and has gone and got my antibiotics. They are red this time, and oh so yummy! Mum has put the machine in with me again tonight, it makes me really hot but does seem to help my cough. Lots of vicks is also the key

Today we went out for lunch and I got to see my cousin Scarlett. She was fun to play with. I was such a good girl and just played quietly when scarlett went down for a sleep. Mummy & I then went to get some groceries, and then home to meet Auntie Tenny.

I was very excited to see Auntie Tenny. :) I have wanted to see her all week. I loved showing her all my puzzles, she was amazed at how well I can do them. After she left mummy and i had a yummy dinner and then straight to bed.

:)

Doctor Visit

Quick Mummy wake up, its 5.45!

Its time for reading, and playing with ducky and tickling you *cough cough*

And getting me ready to go see the DR at 8.30 so I can get some yummy pink medie and start to feel better very soon!

This was our morning, along with breakfast and tantrums over getting dressed. Surprisingly we still got to the doctors in time.

The doctor told mummy I am okay, but could possibly develop bronchitis. We got some medicine, but i have to wait a day or two to see if i can beat the 'bug' on my own. I was such a good girl and got to pick a sticker from the nice doctor. I picked a lion and told him they went 'roooooaaaaarrrr'. :) He liked that.

After the doctors we went straight to the hairdresses so mummy could get her hair done. I was such a good girl, as always. I loved watching Ros wash mummys hair out. Mummy was really brave and didn't sook at all. I did puzzles, read my fairy & moon book, and ate a mandarin. Nahnah and Uncle Ashley were there too.

After that Nahnah came to our house and had some lunch with mummy and I, and then I went down for a sleep. I threw the biggest tantrum at mummy, because I was oversleepy and sick. I did NOT want to go to bed and I kicked and screamed and kicked and screamed. Mummy gave me a big cuddle and I decided she was right and I was sleepy and went to bed. That didn't last for long because my nasty cough made me wake up.

I was sad after this.

mummy and I spent the evening/night cuddling and watching tv. We were meant to go and watch the full moon rise over the beach but with my cough mummy thought it was not the best idea to be out in the cold. Instead she cooked me a yummy dinner full of my favourite things (Pasta, Cheesy Potato & Cheesy broccoli, Meat Chippies & Corn) and we tried to watch the moon rise from our kitchen window. It was a beautiful view but we didn't really see the moon because of the clouds. We then decided to go back to having cuddles on the couch, hoping tomorrow night I am a bit better and we can watch the rise properly. I trust it was very beautiful.

Mummy has just covered me in vicks and put a machine in my room to make my cough a bit easier during the night. It fills my room with steam. So far so good.

Tonight I told mummy i will dream about mummy, charchar and the beach park. I hope you have sweet dreams too.

Cough Cough

Oh dear, i seem to have developed a cough again! Mummy is taking me to the doctors tomorrow to make sure its not another infection, or to come some medicine if it is. I am in an okay mood though, nothing like last time I was ill.

I went to little school today and had a great day with all my friends. Daddy came to pick me up and we got to walk back to mummys house. That was great, walking and picking flowers, singing and chatting with Daddy! Mummy was mowing the lawns when we got home so Daddy and I played on the park.

Tonight Mummy & I got invited to Nanny & Poppys for dinner. Aunt and Nahnah were there and we had yummy silverside and vegies but i didn't' eat much because I was coughing so much. However, when mummys chocolate shortbread and icecream came out for sweets i was hungry again. Mummy let me have some, because she knows I am not well and normally am a really great eater.

Home time couldn't come soon enough for this sleepy girl. It took two seconds to go to sleep once we got in the car, and when mummy tried to get me out i got grumpy at her because I was so sleepy and didnt want to be disturbed. Fingers crossed for a big night sleep

One trip, two trip, three trip.....

this weekend Mummy & I took ourselves of on a drive to a place called Nurum Creek, near Woodford, to go camping with my family as a farewell to Unka Munka before he heads to Afghanistan for work. We packed up our car with all the things we needed - poor froggy was very full and we had something in every spare space. I got to ride down with my feet on my bike, i thought that was really great!

I was such a good help for mummy all weekend, and such a well behaved little girl. I helped mummy cook, clean, and set and pack up. I also helped walk 'Tom' the dog, and told him off when he was being naughty, and I helped walk Sasha! We spent the weekend being entertained by mummy and uncle ashley playing the guitar, and reading stories - i took my spot books and my fairy books with the moon in it. I never get sick of reading them and get everyone to read them to me.

I was a good girl with my undies all weekend, with no accidents to report of. I even used 'drop toilets' and wasn't scared of them at all. I was, however, scared in the shower and I didn't want to stand on the wet ground with my boots on while mummy was getting the shower ready. I think I may have been a bit sleepy as i didn't have a very good nap during the day.

One night Munk and I were playing with the torch and putting it up to our faces and making 'scary' faces. I thought it was hilarious and laughed so hard at him, and then made everyone do it. Munk was the funniest though!

We went for really long bush walks, which i got to ride on everyones shoulders up and down the rocky hills. we saw lots of cows and horses in the paddocks, and also spotted a snake! We tried to find some platypi in the creek but we weren't lucky enough this time.

While we were away I tripped over 5 times, and fell off my chair twice! I now have some nice bruises on my legs, plus little graces on my hands and under my eye. I was such a duffer, mummy couldn't believe I kept falling over. What bad luck!

We got home today at lunch time and I helped mummy unpack the car and clean up all our stuff. After that we enjoyed a nice warm bubble bath and cleaned off all the camping dirt. I love having bath times with mummy. We then spent the afternoon curled up on the couch, having lots of giggles and kisses.

I did have 3 accidents this after noon though! Mummy ran out of clean warm jimjammers for me so tonight i am wearing the new suits nana & pa vagg brought for my birthday. I even did a wee on mummys bed so she had to change all her bedding.

I love camping but it is nice to be home in my warm cosy bed, dreaming about sweet things and looking forward to my time at daddys tomorrow.

This is a photo shoot Mummy made me participate in while we were at Emjays with Auntie Tenny on Thursday. I am very obedient and talented. If you like the skills of the photographer their name was... mummy baker!

Beach day!

I had a beach day today with Catie (auntie Cake) & Tenny (Auntie Neil), Bree and Mummy. Girls day at the beach, we all got dressed in our swimmers (mine were pink) and headed down with our towels, water bottles, suncream & lunch. I also took my ball (so i could kick it in the water and mummy would have to run run after it) and bucket and spade to build castles.

It was just mummy and i there to start with so we practiced our sandcastle building skills. It wasn't long before everyone else arrived and the fun really begun. We all took trips to the water and once i got used to it I really loved running in and chasing the waves and jumping over them. I also liked making m,ummy chase the ball, and filling up my bucket with water. When i added water to the sand it looked like 'cat poo' (so i kept telling everyone). After a couple of hours it was time to find some shade and ahve some lunch.

Mummy packed Cheese sandwiches, watermelon, apricots and sultanas and water for lunch, as well as some custard shortbreads (which she baked last night) for sweets. Yummmm it was such a good lunch! After lunch we took a walk to emjays with auntie neil were we sat and had a girl chat, and enjoyed coffees and milks. I was such a good girl, and showed off my talking skills to auntie neil. She was so happy that i now know her name - Tenny!

After coffee I got to have a play on the park (i think mums priorities are wrong!) and then it was time to go home. I was super tired by this stage and fell asleep on the trip home. I woke up when mummy tried to get me out of the car (i cried lots because i didn't want to hop out of the car, i wanted to go to brookies!) and even though i spent 1 hour in bed i didn't get back to sleep. Mummy was very proud of me though staying in my bed that whole time. I just read stories to myself and my teddies.

On the way to get our groceries i stopped in to see Nahnah and Poppa. What a surprise i got when i saw there new broom broom (caravan.) It was a bed and lots of fun cupboards to open. I loved lying on there bed and told Nahnah it was time for her and I to go to bed, and gave her pretend milkas. Then it was off to do some shopping. Mummy was concerned because i hadn't had a sleep and it was close to dinner time but i was such a great girl - an angel!

After bath and dinner time (we had a pic-nic!) it was time for cuddles and milkas. This tired little girl fell asleep on mummys knee. Such a big day for a little girl!

We are off camping tomorrow!! Yay! I love cmaping!

Brookie & Allaiyah

Last night mummy & I stayed at auntie brookies house because it was her 22nd birthday. On the way there mummy and I were reading the signs, and pointing out all the letters that i know. I now know "C,D,M,O & P." and i was spelling 'poo' for mummy. Actually it was PO. On the drive I snuck into the container of slice that daddy had packed for us, but mummy caught me just before I ate it. Mummy thinks I am SO cheeky. We had to take mummys broom broom on the boat to get over to auntie brookies, i think that is one of my favourite parts. I always get upset when we have to leave it behind.

Mummy cooked dinner for us all why auntie brookie and I bathed and played with allaiyah. I gave auntie brookie her present, and helped her open it and then it was time for dinner after we put allaiyah to bed. I love playing with her and giving her hugs and kisses, and allaiyah thinks I am pretty great too! I ate up all my dinner like a good girl, and then went to bed. It was a long night though as I didn't sleep very well in the big bed with mummy, so we both woke up a little bit grumpy this morning. However, during the night i did give mummy lots of cuddles and kisses to say sorry for being so restless. It made mummys heart smile.

We drove home and then went to little school to see my friends. I was so excited to get to school this morning, and showed mummy where the toilets are at little school, how we wash our hands and then got mummy to do it. I love teaching mummy things and showing off my school. I had a good day at school untill i got my finger got squished in the sliding door. That hurt a lot and I got very upset but after lots of cuddles with emileigh i felt better. I have a nice black fingernail now though. Mummy & daddy both came to pick me up tonight, that was a surprise! But daddy gave me a big fright and i got really upset. It was nice to have mummy and daddy to play with though and i showed off my skills with the puzzles, park, my new bike riding abilities. Daddy gave me a bath and mummy made me dinner. Before bed i got to have cuddles with mummy, and then it was time for snoozing for this tired little girl.

Looking forward to heading to the beach tomorrow for a ladies day with my favourite aunties. :)

movies, cuddles, play & laugh

last night I got to have sleepovers at daddys house because mummy had to take a trip to Kingaroy with auntie ash. It was such a fun day with daddy playing at the beach, making sandcastles, playing on the park, having lunches, having big sleeps, lots of jumping time on the trampoline... sounds perfect right?

It was very exciting to see mummy in the morning though, she missed me lots while she was away. After spending some time playing with mummy & daddy, we headed off home and had some cuddle times with milkas. Our day was a nice and relaxing one, spent cuddling watching movies, eating lots of yummy treats, doing lots of playing and laughing, did i mention lots of cuddling.

I helped mummy cook lunch, afternoon tea, & dinner. I wonder if i can be on the next junior masterchef? Maybe they will do a baby masterchef? It was a lovely day just with mummy and now i am snoozing ready for another busy week.


I get to have school photos tomorrow :) Very exciting.

adventures of allaiyah and I

Today was a great day, even though it started really early.

Mummy and I choose some books last night before we went to bed so nice and early I took them into see me and read them. She said it was to early so I got to sit in her bed and read them why she got some more snoozes. I guess she is old so she does need more sleep than me. By 6.30 it was full swing reading time, and afterwards I put some moisturiser of mummys on me, and then on mummy. Her bed smells very nice now as I also got it all over her pillow. It was about 8 by the time we finished playing and got up to have breakfast.

After breakfast I got to jump in the shower with mummy and wash our hair. I love having showers with mummy and showing her what a big girl I am washing my own hair. Once we were dried I decided it was time to get dressed. Yep- I thought just wearing boots was definitely the way to go! It was a bit cold though so eventually I let mummy get my dressed in more appropriate clothes.

Then it was time to go see Auntie Brookie and Allaiyah. I have now called my baby allaiyah.

Did you know to get to auntie brookies you have to go on a boat... or mummys car goes on the boat! I was so excited by this and was very upset when mummy drove her car off. I could have stayed on the boat allday, mummy said that would be expensive!

We had a yummy lunch with auntie brookie and great play times with allaiyah. Uncle hickle came home quickly to say hello to us on his break at work. We took a trip into Tewantin, got a coffee and sat in auntie brookies car to drink it because it was raining and then we got to mind allaiyah why auntie brookie had a man draw on her! Allaiyah was sad so i helped mummy give her a bottle, a said 'hush ayaaaaah hush.' I loved giving allaiyah kisses and cuddles and was sad when it came time to go home. Lucky we are going there tuesday for sleepovers!

tonight I am having sleepovers at nahnah and poppas why mummy and daddy have a grownup night with auntie sammy and uncle josh. I love sleeping at nahnahs and ahve been such a good girl all night! Off to kingaroy tomorrow.

Hyper hyper charli

reading and cuddles = perfect start to the day. Once again, this was my start to the day.

I also got to speak to Daddy on the phone so that added to my perfect morning.

A bowl of poppas (weetbix) cereal, a piece of toast and a banana later and it is time to begin my busy busy day. It is off to daddys for a little while why mummy had a meeting at school.
Hello Daddy, Hello Auntie Cake.

Daddy took me into school where we met mummy and auntie Neil (what another lovely surprise!) at the library. Shhhh - we have to be quite in there, and i was as quite as a mouse. What a star!!! After leaving daddy to his busy day of school work it was off to see Aunt for lunch, and meet Nahnah at uni. That was really fun, i was so excited to see Aunt as i haven't seen her in such along time. I had so many stories for her, and spoke so quickly no one could understand what I was saying.

After leaving uni (and quickly getting another chance to give daddy a cuddle) we went off to visit nanny and poppy, see their new birdies (i got to go into poppys bird cage and help him feed the birds), walk through their gardens and pick mummy some new flowers and pick some fresh mandarines from their tree to eat. YUM! What a fun visit that was.

Mummy brought me home to have a nap after that as I was getting a little bit grumpy and then we went to see Nahnah and Poppa for dinner. I was really excited as i don't see them as much as I am used to. I was playing ball with chino and throwing her toy really far! I ate up allllll my dinner and got to have a donut for sweets (which I shared with mummy!) and after that I was on such a sugar high! It was crazy, i was running around everywhere, and talking really fast and being so silly. Mummy thought i was funny until she tried to get me to stop and put my pjs back on to go home to bed - because i had decided to take all my clothes off! Oh dear... to much sugar and not enough sleep is not a good idea so it was quickly back home time to get me in bed, which is exactly were i need to be.

Fathers Day 2010

Sunday was fathers day. Now you all know just how excited i have been about fathers day for many weeks now. Finally I can tell you why.

For Daddy this year I got him.... a white shirt.

Which I painted in blue and green. :) It

is one of a kind and no one will ever own the same shirt as daddy. It has my handprint on it, and I also signed it. I loved painting it, and have been talking about it with mummy for weeks. I had to be careful not to say anything to Daddy though.

Sunday could not get here quick enough. I was busting to show daddy what I had made him, and give all my pops, pas, poppas and dad the cards mummy and i had made them on 'arts' day. I loved making our own cards this year. I love doing arts with mummy and giving something extra special to the people that I love.

Sunday morning started early... 6.30am early. As soon as I woke up I wanted to go to daddys. Mummy said we should wait a little while, didn't daddy deserve a sleep in on his special day? I was bouncing with excitement until FINALLY a 8am mummy let us go and see Daddy. Hoorah. The climb up the steps that morning took the longest it has ever taken. We woke up daddy with a big kiss and a cuddle, and then went upstairs to see nanny bev & Auntie Cake and get daddy some breakfast and coffee.

But before he could have breakfast and coffee it was time for daddy to open his present! & guess what!!! he loved it!!!!!!!!!

After some lovely family time, some jumping time and milk it was time to head off and see Poppa for Poppas day!!! I enjoyed spending time with poppa and playing with all my toys at poppas house. Nahnah wasn't home as she was till in Wagonga visiting uncle steven and Sahara. All to soon, and yet not soon enough, it was time to head back to Daddys to give him a special picnic lunch that we had organised to celebrate him.

Our picnic was made up of a loaf of sour dough, some spread, hot chicken, fruit salad, and MARSHMALLOWS, as well as some biscuits i had baked for daddy and some yummy drink for mummy and daddy. Nanny bev, Auntie Cake & Grandpa scott also joined us on our picnic, because it was raining and we stayed at daddys house. Lunch was delicious, we all loved it. We had some play time and reading time afterwards. I was getting so sleepy by this stage, but i just didn't want to leave daddy on his special day so i asked dad if i could stay and have a sleep with him. How lucky i was that he said yes! We had a lovely big sleep together and then it was time to go back to mummys.

It was one of the best fathers day yet. Or in the top three definitely. All tied for first!

more pink toes

I had a really great day today full of fun little adventures and surprises.

This morning mummy woke me up because I had to get ready for a morning tea at little school with daddy at 9 - or so we thought. Silly mummy got it muddled up, so Daddy and I turned up in the morning, only to find out it was in the afternoon. hehe silly mummy! It was nice to see Daddy for a little while though in the morning, as well as the afternoon.

Mummy and I had a play on the park for a bit, and then went and got our groceries. I really love grocery shopping. I always seem to attract lovely old people to talk to. This week a lovely lady commented on my beautiful hair, pointing out that it was 'very different' to mummys. She wasn't sure if mummy was my mummy. Luckily we cleared that up quickly for her. She was sweet.

Mummy put me down to have a nap after lunch before Daddy came back to take me to afternoon tea. But oh dear, i decided i didn't want to have a sleep so that made for a tired little char char tonight. Daddy and I had a lovely afternoon tea at little school. I am a bit sad he didn't win the fathers day raffle though, maybe next year?

In the afternoon mummy and I spent some time playing puzzles, and then painting our toes. Mummy now has red toes, but i chose to have pink ones again as pink is my favourite colour. We did a tiny bit of garderning, baked some cookies and dinner. I spent the whole day in undies, even when i went to little school and only had one little accident tonight. How great is that??!!!!

Tonight while i was drinking my milkas and having cuddles with mummy I fell asleep very quickly on her lap. I was so tired after my big day, i didn't even wake up when she took me to bed and changed my undies into a nappy. Deep sleeps for this princess tonight. :)

Only 2 more sleeps till fathers day!

Mummy has an owwwwwie!

This morning my mummy was sad, she had an owwwieee. On her head i think. She needed immediate attention so it was Char char to the job.

I first 'kissed her better' and gave her a cuddle.

And then I went and found her a 'towel' (facewasher) so she could dry her tears and wipe her nose (i told her to wipe her nose and i dried her tears for her).

Then Daddy came so i went out and told him that Mummy had an owwwwwie.
After that I found some cream to put on it to make it feel better.

Mummy thinks i am just the most lovable and caring baby that she has ever met. :)

Quick update on life

I am sorry to all my adoring fans who wait for my updates daily, i have been slack. Life is crazy, and mummy is always hogging the computer with her uni assignments. I will try and give you an update on life of late.

We went to Bundy, that was so much fun. I got to meet lots of fun people, my favourite was Thia. We did lots of fun things in bundy like go shopping, and go to the beach at Bagara where we played in rock pools and went crab hunting. At bagara there was a HUGE pretend turtle that was turned into a playground that you could go inside. Mummy has photos, i will ask her to upload them soon. We had icecream at bagara too... rainbow! Yum! At Bundy I got to have my first 'yellow' bath which looks like someone had done a huge WEEEEE in there but they hadn't, it was just pretend. Every morning and night I got to help Auntie Shee feed the chook chooks, and i got to help collect the eggs. I also made friends with other little kids, Clay, Felicity and Lainey.

My toilet training is going really well. Today I spent nearly the whole day in undies (except when we went into uni so i could see daddy why mummy had her meeting). I did have two accidents, one with wee and one with poo. But i also made it to the toilet about 6 times so mummy was very happy with that. Plus, i didn't wet my nappy during my nap. Definitely something to be proud of mummy said.

Mum and I did art today to make some fathers day cards. I had to make 8 because I have so much family!!! I am so lucky and it is a good thing I enjoy art. I will post pictures, but after fathers day so i don't ruin anyones surprise.

Today i wanted to walk around with my 'letters' from my puzzle that where 'Daddys' p. (The letter D). I am really good at recognising D, C & M. Can you guess why?

The other night I got to have dinner with most of my favourite "vagg" family because my great nana and Pa are here from victoria. I really loved seeing them all and playing with my cousins who i don't get to see very often. I had a really yummy dinner too and mummy & daddy shared with me!! Yum yum. We even got to have cake, and nana let me blow out a candle!

This is jumping all over the place, i am sorry. It is way past my bedtime!!

I will try and update more often :) and will get some photos up soon.

Nighty night
