BEACH SWIM JUMP BEACH SWIM SWIM SWIM

Today - mummy & I went to the beach for a swim...

Yesterday - Mummy & I went to the beach for a swim....

Daddy has also taken me swiming alot... I am loving this weather! And I am loving learning how to swim!

I know I have been a bit slack with the 'blogging' of late. In fact, it is a really crazy time at home at the moment... so much to do, so little time. So much painting, playing, parking, playdoughing, swimming, cooking, sleeping (or lack of sleeping), and in there mummy is trying to find time for assignments, exams and housework. Things will go back to normal soon, meaning daily blog updates! Hoorah!

I have been doing some visiting lately, Auntie Catie yesterday, nanny a lot (because she still has a very sore and yucky leg!) and other people. It is fun to visit. Mummy is having a problem though with getting me to sleep during the day. I just wont have day time naps, and then I get really GRUMPY by night time. In fact, wed I fell asleep during milk, thurs & Fri I fell asleep during dinner... tonight was okay. We went to nannys, mummy made me have a sleep (i wasn't aloud out of bed, it took a long time).

Mummy has found two lumps on the top of my legs, she is a bit concerned so hoping to get me into the doctors to get them checked out at the start of next week. They hurt a bit when mummy touches them! I am sure they are nothing and mummy is just being a worry wart!

We are heading to the pet expo tomorrow, to learn all amazing things if we get a puppy. It is a bit exciting, mummy said there will be lots of animals there :D I am very excited. Time for bed now, very snoozy. :)

Dear Daddy

Today I did not have a sleep at daycare, so i was extremely tired tonight. Daddy fed me dinner, and then mummy drove me home for milk, quite time and bed.

Dear Daddy (and all my other loyal blog followers),

I did not make it home tonight before falling asleep, in fact I did not even make it to the top of the hill on Elizabeth street.

I woke up when mummy pulled up at home though.

I then did not make it through my milk. I only drank half before i fell asleep lying with mummy.

I was so sleepy.

Thank you again so much for dinner, it was DELICIOUS (even if i was to sleep to eat it all)

Love you daddy. So much.

You are charli's daddy. :)

Oh dear, roast charli?

Can anyone say Beach?

Beach trip number 1 - check... yesterday morning! It was wonderful. Nanny was feeling sad because she has a owwwwie leg so we decided to gather up her, nahnah, uncle jack and take them to the beach for a swim. And booooyyyy did I swim! I loved jumping over the waves, i love playing in the sands... i didn't want to leave the beach at all. But mummy wanted to take me home so i could have a big sleep before heading back to the beach in the afternoon. It was such a beautiful day.

My sleep was huge. I must have been exhausted because mummy had to wake me up at 3.30 to take me back to the beach for afternoon tea.

Yum! Afternoon tea at the beach with beautiful company. we didn't get to swim this time, but we did get to ahve a play on the park. :) I really love that place, it is my favourite place in the world. I got to share some chippies to, and kept trying to dirnk mummys coffee. She said no, no far i say!

After the beach we headed to great aunts house for TACO NIGHT! Yay, we were so excited, it has been so long since we have had a taco night. I love playing with my beautiful cousins to. Zoe and i played shops and tea parties. After dinner (which i ate 2 and a half tacos WHOA!) I got to go and have a sleep in Aunts big bed before mummy took me home.

Another big day today including, yep you guessed it, the beach!

First thing though... to market to market to buy a fat.... vegetables for the week??! Mummy and I headed there nice and early and grabbed some fresh fruit and vegies. That was so much fun. I love the people who give out free popcorn. yum yum! Mummy also found me three new pairs of shoes for when my feet grow for $12 - bargain!

After the market it was time to head to the beach to find MY DADDY (not mummys daddy, not you daddy... mine daddy!) I was so excited when I saw him on the sand and started running for him...but then i lost sight of him. It was all very confusing. Soon enough though I found him again and it was time for big cuddles! It was exciting to see Auntie Sammy, Uncle Josh and Connor, and all the other beach goers. Once again i loved playing in the beach, loved jumping the waves, going deep with mummy, throwing the ball with daddy and uncle josh... it was one of my favourite days. To soon it was time for daddy to go home. Mum and i went to get our lunch, where i spilled a lot of BBQ sauce all over myself. That was messy, sticky and funny.

A big day again today, no sleeps for charli so i was sleepy and grumpy tonight. Mummy and I baked a cake and i got to blow out the candle on it like it was my birthday... practice mummy says. Yummy cake and early to bed tonight because mummy knows that know matter waht time I go to bed I will be up super early anyway. :)

Night night
Sweet dreams

Love you

See you in the morning

Dont let the bed bugs bite

(yep i say it all now)!

Where to begin?

Right now I am sitting on mummys knee, she is helping me type this (or i am helping her - depends on who you ask I guess). I just said mummy helps me so i guess that is the way it is. There has been so many days since i've last updated this I am not sure I will remember everything that has happened, but i will definitely do my best. Poor mummy is sick, we are thinking with tonsillitis but not to sure (because she wont go to the doctors, naughty mummy!) but we haven't had much energy to be getting on the computer.

Monday & Tuesday were spent with my beautiful daddy and his lovely family. We spent lots of time at different parks around the sunshine coast and enjoying time with those that I love. We had a few accidents, once falling of the swing on monday, falling of the slide on tuesday. Oh dear, i love to talk about my war stories. Tuesday night we had a lovely dinner at the 'beach park' with daddy, mummy and uncle matt were we had some chippies. Do you want to know the amazing thing that happened there, we saw WHALES in the water... thats right WHALES! That was very cool, mummy was very excited. I couldn't see them very well but mum said it was great. It was fun spending time with everyone.

Wednesday was a school day! I love school days!

Thursday mummy and I collected nahnah and took her up to see Nanny. Poor nanny has a really big 'owwwww' on her leg because a big piece of wood flicked up at her from underneath a bogged car. She has had to do many trips to the doctors and has a big bandage and stitches. I am very concerned about nanny and told mummy to keep helping her. So we went up and mummy cooked them lunch and we all helped do some house work and nahnah took her for a trip to the doctors. Poor Nanny, we hope she gets better very soon.

Yesterday was friday, and it was my turn to look after poor mummy who is now very owwww in her throat. I keep trying to kiss it better for her. Mummy took me down and we had a big play on the park with ducky. I thought that was SO MUCH FUN. I love playing on my park. One of the best things about the morning was discovering my sandpit was all filled up with water, and mummy let me play in there like I was at the beach. That was great, i could have stayed in there all day. I love the water. What a surprise I got when after my nap Daddy & daddys friend, Rushon, came to visit just as we were about to walk out the door. I had been talking about daddy all day so it was like magic when they turned up. We all had some cups of teas and a big play on the park, that was so much fun. :)

Afterwards, mummy & I went to see nahnah & poppa for dinner. All i wanted to talk about was daddys friend who i met today. They didn't know who i was talking about. hehe.

Mummy is taking me to the beach today, infact we best hop off here now to go and get organised! Hehe, too much time on the computer.

Have a great day everyone :)

happy birthday auntie tenny

Poooooo hooray (aka hip hip hooray!) today is auntie tennys birthday. Mummy was trying to teach me how to sing happy birthday. I learnt the pooo hooray bit and loved saying it, until it came time to say it to auntie neil on the phone. I did, however, love eating her birthday cake today which i have been constantly hounding mummy about eating since we got it friday night. Yum yum

This morning started nice and early with lots of cuddles and ticky tickies with mummy. we were meant to get ready early to go to the markets but decided it was more fun to relax. We did get to the markets though, and it was really fun. I was such a good girl and decided to have a ride in the pram instead of walking, to ney ney i said to mummy. I didn't sleep though, cheeky! Mummy was looking to buy some herbs and plants for our garden. We didn't find anyway but did get some vegies to eat. YUM! We also got to try some yuuuuummmyy popcorn.

After that we went to have lunch with nahnah and poppa (who made me a jam sandwich) and had a quick play with Zoe and Camma before mummy took me home to have a sleep. I had a huge sleep after such a big 3 days. Mummy and I didn't do much else today. We got some groceries and played at home on my park and bike. It was a nice lazy sort of day.

Tomorrow I am off to daddys. I was so excited when mummy told me that i was jumping and running around singing. Its been to long since ive seen him... 2 days?

Sleep time now, i can't wait to wake daddy up in the morning. Watch out daddy, im coming nice and early!

Busy beaver

Last night was amazing!! Recap, Mummy & I headed over to auntie Tenny & Uncle Rys for a Paaaaarrrrtttyyyy to celebrate their engagement. That was already making me excited, i do love to party. However, the thought that I was going to get to spend a second night in a row with them, plus nanny Bev, Auntie Catie and of course Dadddddy just made me count down the seconds untill the night begun. It was filled with so much chatting, laughter, great food and amazing guitar entertainment by many talented guitarists it was such a fun time. But I was a sleepy little girl so mummy and I left before the party ended. I did make it to 10.20 though, party ANIMAL!

Mummy was hoping for a sleep in this morning, it didn't happen. But it was a lovely morning anyway with lots of mummy cuddles. We decided to sneak over to wake up nahnah and poppa. We were so quiet and scared them and I got to jump on their bed! Hoorah. Mummy decided to go for a visit to Auntie Kate the Greats house because her husband unka munka has gone away just this last week on a trip. We thought she might be to lonely on her first weekend alone so we packed up nahnah and took a drive down to Bris-Vegas.

Before we left mummy and i took uncle ashley on his first drive in a car. It was fun, he drove us up and down nahnah and poppas street and I kept telling him to stop and start. He was really good at driving. Nearly better than mummy i wonder?

Our day with Auntie Kate was great fun. I got to pat her two meows, Authur and Guiness. They don't like kids very much and hid in the linen closet when I got there. I also got to spend time eating lots of yummy food, especially the yummy grapes auntie kate brought me, drawing pictures with mummy and i even got to have a sleep on her bed.

It was a lovely day with my family and I can't wait to have brisbane adventures again soon. Tomorrow though we are off to the markets. Hoorah, to buy a fat pig i wonder??

ITS BEEN A WHILE

Its been a long time since i've updated my blog. I guess I was happy sitting on 250! What a great amount of blogs, and what a busy bee i've been over that time. Mummy & I read through some today and i've got to say... WHOA i have done alot in my 2 years!

My victorian holiday was great. I really loved spending time with my cousins, and i have come home saying so many more things and advancing a great deal with my counting and alphabet, as well as shapes and the songs i can sing. I guess having big cousins helps encourage these developments. Coming home on the plane was great again. This time we sat next to an elderly man who thought i was great entertainment. I was such a good girl again and haven't stopped talking about it since i've been home.

When we got off the plane dadddy was waiting for us. I saw him as I was about half way up the aisle and I got so excited and ran up to him and gave him the biggest cuddle. This is also a story I love to tell people often.

Since we have been home life has been busy again. Monday & Tuesday was spent with Daddy doing fun things like park, lunchs out, drawing, play play play. Daddy & I always have such a busy and fun time together. Wednesday was little school. It was great to see all my friends again, even if i did have a sore foot from kicking my toe on the floor while kicking the pink balloon (or this is why i thought my foot was sore!). Daddy picked me up from little school, which lead to lots of jumpajump time and then great fun in the bath.

Yesterday mummy and i enjoyed a relaxing day together after such a crazy last week. We took my bike for a ride to the post office and back, that was so much fun!!! Mummy nearly tipped me off, she is a crazy driver. We played on my park (considering it was finally sunny) and picked lots of flowers. At lunch time we went and met auntie ash at the lake in kawana and had a picnic lunch with her. That was lots of fun and we saw plenty of fishies jumping in the water.

Last night I went out with my family for Auntie Tennys birthday. Uncle Ry and Auntie tenny was there, Nanny Bet, Auntie Catie and Daddy & Mummy were all there. It was such a fun night filled with lots of laughter, and hugs and kisses. Daddy taught me how to play the playstation and mum and dad discovered that i can recognise some shapes. Auntie Catie had me laughing so much by pretending to eat the cake. It was such a great night!!

Last night (actually very early this morning) I fell out of my bed and got such the biggest fright. I got so upset I nearly made myself sick so mummy let me sleep in her bed. It was so much fun to wake up with mummy, and i did ticklie tickie on her back to wake her up.

This morning nanny & Poppy came for a visit and brought chloe. I had fun making them 'yummies' and 'cups of teas'. Chloe and I spent lots of time laying on my chino toy. It was great to see them

Off to a PPPARRRTTY tonight for Uncle Ry & Auntie Tennys engagement. Yay i am looking forward to dancing and partying the night away (until bedtime anyway)

Big plane up in the sky!!!

yesterday mummy and i came for a trip down to victoria to visit some of my family. Daddy & I picked mummy up nice and early in the morning to make the trip down to brisbane to go on the plane 'that goes wooooosh up in the sky' We were running a little bit late but thanks to Daddys super speed driving we made it there in beautiful time and even had to wait about 10 minutes before we could board!

I loved being on the plane!! Silly jetstar put mummy and I on different aisles, and mummy had to ask two young canadian girls if they would swap so we could sit together. They were not very happy to but let us, thankfully! I think I would have been a bit scared to sit by myself. Instead, i held mummys hand and watched out the window as we went 'faster than daddys broom' and went high, high, high up in the sky. We saw lots of trees, water and clouds and tried to find daddys car in the traffic. I yelled out the window 'tata daddy!'. the plane was making a funny noise that sounded like chino barking so i yelled out 'shush chinnnnnno'. mummy laughed.

on the trip i ate my snacks mummy packed, and I read the books daddy brought for me to take on the plane. they are really great books. Mummy and I drew a picture for unka munka and the trip went really fast. before i knew it (to soon for me) we were on the ground and off to find auntie spaz!!

we had an uneventful trip to Warrnambool then, mummy and auntie spaz just went chat chat chat chat chat so i had a sleep! I didn't do any wees in my undies the whole time until mummy took me to the toilet when we stopped for lunch. mummy was so proud!

I was excited to see Oma and Emily when we got here, and then off to see auntie annie, uncle andrew, flick and meet baby Izabella. I was a bit shy at first but waas very excited to play with the girls.

today we have had a lazy day after such a big day yesterday. It has been good fun to play with emily all day, and have a bath together. I haven't slept today though so tonight I was super dooper grumpy and went to bed at 6.30 (victorian time!) after eating 5 pieces of watermelon, one chicken wellington, one hashbrown and a tub of yoghurt! WHOA!

Mummy, Emily and I Played with the football today outside in the beautiful weather, and played picnics with cups of teas. We then picked flowers, found some snails to watch and rolled around on the grass. Such good fun!

Looking forward to tomorrow, going shopping and then off to the heated pool to go swimming

Love to everyone, especially my daddy. I miss you and keep telling everyone stories about you!!!!

Mummy saw duckies today while she was heading into uni and thought of Charlotte, Daddy & Auntie Catie feeding the duckies today.

It made me smile big, heartfelt smiles.

I hope you have had a precious day princess xx

So hot, hot, hot!

Happy Birthday Uncle Chuck (Jack, Ashley?) I have decided I will like to call him chuck.

It is his 16th birthday today so we have spent most of our day with him, after I got to wash my own hair. Something has not been right with me today though.

I have been very lethargic...

I fell asleep sitting up at 11, even though I slept in until 7.40

I have been extremely HOT, HOT, HOT.

Mummy has given me panadol, and I have been okay. Mummy is wondering while I am picking up so many sicknesses.

Before mummy realised I wasn't feeling well we walked over to Nahnah and Poppas house. I got to pick lots of flowers on my travels, i loved walking with mummy on this beautiful weathered day. Mummy did carry me most of the way. I gave Chuck (uncle ash) two pretty yellow flowers and a purple one for his birthday.

This afternoon (after my sleep) mummy & I went for a drive with nahnah, poppa and uncle ash to watch them play ten pin bowling for uncle chucks birthday. He won, mummy and I made a really great cheer squad for them both. After bowling we went down to the beach and got yummy fish and chips (from the shop Daddy took me to last week) and had a picnic at the beach. After dinner (which was BEAUTIFUL) I got to have a play on the park and then early home to bed for this little girl. I fell asleep on the way home. Mummy gave me a bath, then we had cuddles and milks and then off to bed for me.

YESTERDAY: We went to Brisbane to spend the day at Uncle Munkas & Auntie Kate the Great (or Aunt) to say goodbye to unka munka (munk) before he went on his long holiday. Before we left mummy and I drew him a very pretty picture and packed up some photos for him to take with him to afghanastan. It was a really lovely day with all my family. I made some great new friends with all the little boys who were there, and a little girl named charlotte. I spent the whole day playing with the kids why the grown ups ate lots of food and drank wines and beers. It was a great day.

After everybody left we got to spend some quality time with munk & aunt. I loved playing tickle tickle with them, and running around and giving them lots of lovely cuddles and kisses. It was sad to say bye to munk but I get to write him lots of letters and send him cool packages while he is away.

Be safe Munk, love you lots

My Day Today!

My day began with..... 'ohhhhhuhhhhh Mummmmmmmmm.... Poooooooooooooooooooossssssss!' So rush rush rush to the toilet for us at 6am so I could do poos. I did none in my pants though, are you proud? Mummy was, after she had a coffee.

So, needless to say the day begun early. After some housework time we spent the morning playing on my park and riding my bike around the yard picking flowers with mummy. It was such a great morning.

We had to then go to Nahnah and Poppas quickly, where we saw pop don and Nana Betty. It was great to see them, i got very excited. I had two accidents at nahnah's house. Oh Dear! Mummy thinks it was because I was so sleepy. I had to go home with no undies or pants on because I wet the spares. hehe, i thought that was really funny and laughed the whole way home. Mummy was worried I was going to do wees on my chair.

After a big nap mummy and i took nahnah for a drive to the plaza to take in mummys phone and buy a present for Uncle Ashley for his birthday on sunday. I got to carry the card around the shops for mummy but couldn't understand why I couldn't give it to uncle ash when we got back to his house so i chucked a bit of a tantrum.

It was definitely the night for it tonight during bath and dinner time with mummy. But we worked through it and had a lovely dinner of lamb chops, pasta and vegies. Yum! After dinner I decided I 'need daddy here' so he came and read some stories with my from my 'blue two' book and we had a dance after watching daddys great dancing man!

Big kisses good night and then sweet dreams until our great day tomorrow.
