Maia in May

Sorry, I have been a bit slack with the updates... Have been busy busy!!!

Mum went to Monaco with some friends and left Dad at home with me... he invited all his friends (and their kids) and they all stayed the night!!! House was a mess!!! but we had a ball.

Mowing the gravel

Cool dude.

I am going to hate this one at my 21st!!

Mum french braided my hair. It's getting really long now.

Yummo.. Dry Weetbix

Reading "Charlie & Lola" to my Nanie....

Maia's words are coming out thick and fast now.. an Octopus is a "pus a pus" and Sausages are "bosages", She tells us when she needs to do "poos on potty" and "brush my teeth". She can run backwards, go sideways... and for the first time tonight, she climbed up onto her slide thing and slid down all on her own.

Toys, Toys and More Toys.....

I have been spoilt lately with some new toys!!!!

Here I am in my sand pit.. I could play in here all the time

Dad was going to get me a Rocking horse, but Mum found this for $10 so I got that instead!!!

Love my paddling pool..


My cool Blackboard... It's a white board and a paper holder on the other side.. The options are endless. And incase anyone is wondering.. i did that drawing all on my own!!!

Mum, Can you please move the table.. i can't see the TV!!!

I was really sick last week.. I think it was the Apple from the markets mum fed me.

April Update

Hi everyone.. Have had a busy few weeks.. Here are some photo's.

Dad thought he would be funny and get into my tunnel.... I just thought he was silly

Until he tried to get me!!!!


Cute pigtail girl


Me & Will.. trying to escape

Yet again, doing something we shouldn't

Dad put up our new tent so we had a jump on the mattrass.. it was hard work!!!

Just chilling with mum...

On Mum's birthday..... in the swing Dad and I brought her...

Gotta love this!!!

I would sit and watch TV all day if they let me...

Chilling out with my Irish buddy Moya, Well we will be buddies one day, she wasn't too keen on me this time around, but she will get used to me.. Must be a red head thing!! hahaha

Dad caught a bunny so I got a pat

On the Merry-go-round in Aix

With Dad..

Helping Dad eat his hotdog

I found this funny looking dog down at the markets.. the nice lady let me pat it.. Mum had to keep saying "Doucement" which is "Gentle" in French as I was a bit rough.

GET OFF THE COUCH!!!

Fuzzy but cute...

Modelling my wetsuit.. it's a size 4.. French kids must be small..

Monkey Impression

Elephant Impression

Ready to dive in..........

More pool time

The water is just wayyyyyy to cold.. I cried the whole time...

With Dad.. I am happy in the pool.. but only when none of my body is actually touching the water. :-)

On a daily rekkie of the grapes..

Moi, jeu avec nos enfants de voisins (Playing with our neighbours)

This slide was HUGE but so much fun!!!

So many words come out of Maia's mouth now its a crack up..... and alot of them now aren't parroted so she actually will say them of her own accord. She loves tissues and calls them "Nose" and she knows all her body parts (well the easy ones anyway) and recites them off all the time. She is now being very very attached to her toys and insists on karting around 3 or 4 at a time and gets very upset when she can't. We are off to Corsica in 2 weeks so this will be her first time camping and sleeping overnight on a ferry!!!!..... fingers crossed.

More Talk....

We have a talker..... Need to stop encouraging her now!!!!

April Already!!!!

Well time has certainly been flying!!!! We have been here 5 months now.

Maia with both her cards from Nan & Pops... When she received the Easter card in the mail I said to her "Thats from Nan & Pops".. Next thing I know - she rushes off over to where her books are kept and grabs out the card that "Nan & Pops" sent her when she broke her arm a few weeks prior!!!

Maia in "helping" Mum in the kitchen!!!! All I hear is "Stuck, Stuck!!!"

Us today

Maia by the pool today... Bets on how long it takes for her to fall in!!!

They have these great wee choc icecreams over here.. enfant size!!!!!

New Bike Seat

Dad surprised me on the weekend and came home with a bike seat and helmet for me!!!!

Taking in some fluids before the race.....

Good to Go...



Good one... I can't see where we are going!!!!!
