The boy in the striped pyjamas

Mums cousine adviced this book for anyone who need something good to read! Mum got the last copy in the shop yesterday and the shop keeper said his wife loved the book. -"The best book she ever read!" So now mum is gonna start reading!!!

Sunday morning.

Dad went to the gym for some exercise, hot tubs and saunas :) To get real warm and fresh. Me and mum got ready to go out and play in a park (no rain for the moment but very wet!). I then fell asleep with all my clothes on just as we where gone go.....Back to bed!

Sorry Canada who is waiting to skype with me I am still sleeping!!!

3rd day of rain!

I am watching the rain with dad and listening to all the nice rain sounds.

Right now it's pooring down so much rain! It's good we have had a drought here for a long time and need to fill up the water resarvoir!?

We still have water restrictions here, only water garden with a hoose before 8 in the morning and after 8 in the evening!

I want up up up!

I climb the table as quick as noone can blink!

How did I end up here?

I fit under the TV! Mum was to slow with the camera...now I am on the way out of there...

Shopping.

Mum came home after shopping with a pair of new shoes size 3, my feet are 10,5 cm long from big toe to heel. They are soo good. Easy to crawl, and walk around furniture without falling off or being to heavy!

Best shoe model so far. I had two of the same model send from Canada but they are now to small.

She also bought me a pair of leggings to keep the legs warm when I crawl.

Botanic garden

We had a picnic in the botanic garden in the city. It's a huge beautiful park with lots of huge funny looking trees. I got very thirsty after a lot of play with the autum leaves.

ANZAC day

Today is a holiday to remember people who have been

in war! It all starts at dawn with a cermony where old and young family members gathers. Then it's a huge march in the city and the one who has been in a war wears all the medals and the ones who is dead, theirs grandchildren wears the medals in the march!

I was to little to see the dawn cermony and mum and dad sleept in for the march... but next year they want to see the lot!

ANZAC stands for australian and new zeeland soldiers.

There is also something called ANZAC cokies to try if you want to lose your teeth. I don't so I don't try them!!! Now I have 6 teeth and can bite, grrrrr!

Bella

Doctor visit.

He said I was fine, and I felt fine too! A great place :) I like to come back to crawl under all the chairs again.....

Action!

With our "monster baby" there is lots of action all the time.....the tissuebox was full of tissues a minute ago and the water was actually in the sipper cup....but she is good she knows how to drink from a cup, every little step makes us soo proud!!!!! Ear infection seems to be gone, still a visit this week to the doctor!

It sucks beeing sick!!!!

Severe right middle ear infection!

I am so sad and have been crying for a whole day and night. I refused to be put down on the floor. I clinged on mummy like a little monkey and just cryed in her ears for hours. I didn't feel like eating and nothing was fun anymore. Mum saw a new tooth breaking through but realised that couldn't give so much pain! So after dad come home we all jumped into the car headed for emergency dep. 2 hours waiting and then a doctor. We thought it was middle ear infection and yes we where right!

Very difficult to catch as a new mum/dad because you little ones can't show or tell where its painful, just cry!!! It takes a doctor max 10 sec to diagnose and don't take the chance of waiting another night in case it's "teething" or generall illness. With a baby just go!!! I am glad my sister told me to go see a GP if my baby just act diffrently and seems to be in pain!

1 week of antibiotic and then another visit at the GP.

Good night from all of us!

Have a great evening and weekend!

Dad talks on the phone to his friend from Canada that is here in Aussieland (topic: surfing in the goldcoast :) !

More sunset

Sunset at the beach!

I love the sand and listening to the waves, mum and dad eat cheeze dodles and drink red wine!

Nap time

Dad showed me how to play soccer and now I am exhausted......

Stroller

My stroller is put on the side so that I can walk along it, which is very good!

Pretty fun.

the box was not easy to climb but it moves on the floor so I can walk with it!

My new toy!

A empty box, here I try to climb it!

Jetty

By the Jetty on a morning walk, mum swam in the ice cold water and feel very refreshed!! I ate sand as usuall. And watched all the dogs walking by, we saw two little pug dogs playing in the water!!!

Remember this?

I was 5 and a half months old!

The other day two little girls age 3 and 4 approached me and Bella. Bella was crawling on the gras and one of the girls asked me: -"Can we pat the baby?" I said- "What?" -"Can we pat the baby?" -"Yes you can (I started to laugh, pat the dog I've heard of but not pat the baby!!!)" and the two girls started to pat her very gentle around her cheeks and in her face and on her head and Bella just smiled and tried to remove the little hands patting her, with no luck, they where everywhere!!! Then the girls said -"Bye baby" and walked on!

I can do it myself!

I like to feed myself, but it gets very messy. I do let mummy feed me porridge in the morning with no fuss as long as a I get a little piece of bread that I can chew on!

Fingerfood

broccoli, potatoe, pasta, beans, egg yolk and carrot. What a delicous dinner!

I refuse to sleep!

So daddy dressed me up and took me to the beach to meet some friends. After playing in the sand and listening to the waves and the talk from daddy I feel asleep on his lap. Mum stayed home to catch up a few hours sleep.

From daytime naps between: 9.00-11.00 and 16.00-18.00 to NO naps at all during the day!!!! Could it be because of one of her upper front teeth is on the way up???

One big happy family!

Here we all are ;)

Bella play-daddy sleep! This book is perfect for her little hands and she can look through it over and over again!

Sea weed

Dried crispy seaweed made Bellas day!

Yummy

Bella got her hands of a big piece of bread and tried her fullest to put it all in her mouth!

Mum and Bella

We also went into the water...brrrr very cold but we did it!

Easter picnic!

Great with 4 days off!!! We went for a picnic early in the morning with some friends of ours and their little 9 weeks old boy. The beach we went to is speciall you are allowed to drive on it!!!! Very strange feeling driving on a beach..... and this is not Fraser Island and no 4 wheel drive either, just a volvo and a ford (ours ;) !!!) But very practical!

Perfect size!

No problem standing up under the table without bumping mu head!!!

2 April = 9 months old.

So far I can stand without support and hold a toy or a book. I walk along furniture and take half a step and throw myself into mums/dads arms.

I say: mamma and babba and bok and mack. When I see a dog or a bird or a baby I make a very high pitch sound ?!

I dance to music and when I get angry I grab things and throw them away. I like to grab mums hair and her glases......get angry when she say No!

I love cuddles and kisses and to play high up in the air. If mum is out of my sight I go looking for her....mostly I find her on the toilett and "run" to her with a BIG smile on my face!!!!!

Fisher Price

I like to play with my fisher price colourful toys. I can take of all the rings over and over again but I don't put them back again!

Climbing monkey!

But most of all I like to climb!

When mum was a kid up to 6 years old she had a nick name at the playground = "climbing monkey" (klatter apa)....I also heard that one of my aunts was a real climber as a little one....guess who?
