I helped mum make some ANZAC biscuits.. woohoo!!!

Eating the golden syrup off the spoon was the best

Caught!!!!

Out for an evening stroll!!!!

Talking to the trees. I am really bad as I think that the olives are grapes (or peas) and I try to eat them. Dad always tells me "They are not grapes" or "They are not peas" so when I walk past I always say "Not grapes", "Not peas" (but I still try and grab and eat them though!!!)

Mummy reading me a story the other night

Potty training didn't go to well.. Mum went cold turkey on me for 5 days but i just havent' clicked yet to tell her BEFORE I need to go. i was good at sitting on the potty for a while and reading a story etc, but i would never go and as soon as I stood up and walked a couple of paces... i would wee!!!! haha.. Mum will try again soon..

Practicing!!!

Likeness - I think not

A caractuire of Maia.. hahaha

Big Girl Bed

I am finally in a big girl bed!!!

Swimming Lesson

I am getting really good at swimming now, we get in the pool everyday and I dive in to Daddy and we do a cool lesson of me going under (I love that part and always say "1,2,3 Under Daddy??') and at the end I get to swim to the steps and find my own way up.. sometimes that one is a bit hard. I am good at hanging onto the side and eeking my way along too.. it's cool

Ready to dive in

Ok.. You caught me, i always sit down before I dive so sometimes it ends up just being a 'fall' in

Maia is just being a crack up lately.. she had just sat there and gone, "This is 1, this is 2, this is 3" right up to 11.. but I didn't have the camera ready!!! Typical

Starting Early

Maia is becoming such a good helper around the house... firstly bringing in the mail (it was for her anyway!!!)

and also.... washing up!!!!

She had a great time in the sink.

We have been very busy with all our adventures, and are off again to meet some kiwi's who own a winery about 3hrs from us. Will be great to meet some other expats!!! After that, we have a few more people staying in Sept and Oct, but then it will get back to normal!! We think.

LONDON!!!!

We spent the last week in London and had a great time. The weather wasn't too bad so got out and saw alot. Stayed in Westminster as we did a houseswap with some friends, 10min walk to the London Eye!!!

I was kept pretty entertained on the flight with the DVD player!!!

On the train from Gatwick to London


Typical me!!

Cool Red tractor

Nan - I was trying to catch this Rooster for you but had no luck!!!

Patting the Goat..

It was a long walk, so Mum & Dad decided to get a taxi home. The taxi's in London at great and I could just be wheeled straight in...

Stink - Just about made my getaway!!!

GREENWICH

We took a river cruise to Greenwich.. Me on the boat!. I was a bit of a mission as I just wanted to run around!!!

Trying to work out the map.

It's a hard life

Still asleep!!

There is a great HUGE park there so once I woke up I had heaps of room to run around.

Family Pic

I made everyone laugh on the way home as I got a big tired so I grabbed my snuggie and went and lay in the middle of the floor of the boat!!!

WESTMINSTER

This was where we stayed .. I thought it was cool to have a NZ flag there. (I had my Teddy in Time out, I was telling him "Look at me"!!!)

On the balcony.

I got to meet some UK Rickett rellies... they were really nice and brought me a Teddy Bear that I now take EVERYWHERE!!! I get very very upset when I can't find him.

Feeding the birds in the park - Come on.. Take it!!!

I will MAKE you eat this!!!

I give up!! (She had just dropped it)

Me by the NZ memorial by Hyde park.

Mum and Dad weighed me while I was over there and I am now 13.2kg!!!!!!
