Advances in telecommunication

I haven't got the hang of email yet but I do like to listen in when Daddy is talking on SkypeI also know what I doing with the phone. Well, I've got the actions, but not the sounds!

Dressing up already

Besides looking after baby my feminine side is also well demonstrated in my love for shoes. At this point it doesn't matter if they're princess shoes or not. I'll wear them all!

See - I have got hair!

Who needs a Van de Graff generator when you've got a slide like mine! I had my first physics lesson the other day. My conclusion, I really do have some hair (oh, and mummy's washing powder is top class)!My second Physics lesson was all about sinking and floating which we did inside.

Babies are hard work!

This is baby. I like to hold her but sometimes that's not enough......she really needs a cuddle.If she keeps crying I have to put in her dummy (soother)...
...but sometimes she's just hungry and needs some milk
It's tiring for both of us so it's good to cuddle up and watch Praise Baby (on top of mummy's ironing pile!)

Artistic...perhaps

Last week mummy gave me the opportunity to express myself artistically. It for very interesting (for a couple of minutes)
Here's my very first piece of art (mummy made the letters)!
It follows a lesson on KandinskyAnyway, I soon got bored so I went to offer my help to Daddy who was building something for his office.

Extended Easter

On Wednesday morning I was presented with a very strange and large surpriseInside was some beautiful chocolate in the shape of an eggDefinitely worth getting my teeth into straight away!
Even more surprising was that inside there was even more chocolate. I may be little but I can definitely see why this chocolate stuff is so popular!

Easter

24 of us were at the MacKinnons for a special celebration dinner. Daddy and I took some time out beforehand to rest.After dinner (and my afternoon nap) we had an easter egg hunt.
I appreciated Tia Robin's help because more eggs meant more sweeties. Some were quite hard to find like this orange dinosaur egg...
But we all got lots and had great fun too
Then as a very special treat Stephen from the team had made us pavlova - not a common desert here in Mexico!

Resurrection Sunday

Church was really special on Sunday. All the ladies were dressed in white (I don't have a white skirt!) and it was a special celebration that Jesus is alive! My friends were playing tambourines so I went over to see if they would share with me.

In the toy box

I had great fun. I love getting in boxes and baskets but to be surrounded by toys was the best!

Family Time

Last week Daddy had 2 days off language school which was great as I got to see a lot more of him. One day we checked out a little park 2 mins walk from our house.
There was a baby swing there which was great funMummy was even able to sit beside me and we went togetherThen we went on the see-saw but I don't really think I liked thatBack to the swing which was much better.Then on Friday morning very early we went for a walk. Sometimes Tia Margaret, Mummy Ginger and I go for a walk in the morning but on Friday Daddy and Tia Robin came too.Then Tia Margaret and Tia Robin came back to our house and we played. Tia Robin told mummy and daddy how to look after our raspberry bush. I hope mummy has lots of yummy recipes!On Friday afternoon we went to an amazing park. There were baby swings all over the place (but it was very busy). I wasn't interested in the ice-cream - it was too cold, but I enjoyed the stick!On Saturday we stayed home so I could get enough rest before a very busy Sunday (though we did go up to Maddie, Joshie and Eepies house for a little bit. I played and the mummies and daddies were busy getting something ready for Sunday).

Feeding myself

Daddy loaded up the spoon and I took over from thereCan you tell I'm really proud of myself?

Easter is near

Today mummy brought out this interesting box. She says she and daddy are going to hide the eggs and I will have to find them! I'd rather they just give me them.She gave me just one. It had funny soft stuff inside
She made a cat (the very mention of the word and I look outside for the strays that go by our window. I am very proficient at saying, "Cat!" now)...
...and I wrecked it!

Pick me up!

How can you not pick me up when I'm being this cute?!

The Dugdales

This is Tio Robin and Tia Bebe who came over the other night for dinner. They have been in Mexico for 19 months and will be leaving soon so mummy and daddy finally got them over for something to eat. We'll miss them!

The Star Attraction

On Thursday I went to church with mummy. Some of my friends were there and I just had the best time! For a while I completely forgot about mum and just played and played.I just love being in the middle of things and I definitely hold my own!
Just posing for the camera

First day at School!

Today mummy and I went with Miss Robin, Joshie and Eepie to see Maddie do a special show at her school. I especially enjoyed the Veracruz dances. If this is what they do at school then I think I'm ready to start!

Out in the garden

I still love the swing. This one feels a bit grown up and I have to hold on tight so I don't fall off.
Watering the garden just a little with Daddy.

A nature lesson

We got this strange contraption. They say it will attract little hummingbirds. So we filled it with sugar water...
...there all ready to hang in the garden. I hope it works!
