Another Milestone for Me!

I reached another "growing up" milestone recently, but gee, it wears me out! I can sit up straight with out anything around me. I used to be able to do it a little bit, but once I lost my balance, down I went. Not anymore. I can sit up for ages. But eventually I might wobble just a bit too much and I'll be on my back. I can even get from sitting up to on my tummy in one go.

It's Christmas Time

Today was a big day for me. I wasn't quite sure what it was all about though. Everyone was up when I woke up in the morning, and that is usually pretty early. Even my sis was up and at it. I've been told that Santa came overnight (who is that?) and delivered quite a few presents, even some for me! I needed a bit of help opening my presents as it was a bit tricky, but sis had no troubles at all. I got a lot of new toys and outfits and other things. After that I had a nap and then we went to Daddy's place to do it all again. Wow I got a lot of cool new things!
I also think it is finally time to show you my photo with Santa. I had one by myself and one with Emma.

My First Competition

I just entered my first 'baby of the year' photo competition. It's at the chemist in Gymea shops. So if you go down there over the next few days, you'll see me on the wall.

Dad had a photoshoot with me to try and get the best photo to put it in. I did my best at making good faces and poses. This was the photo that we entered. Gotta be a winner don't you think?

What Nice Table Manners I Have!

Did you know I've started eating solid food now? For the last few weeks I've been able to eat some new stuff out of a spoon. It comes in different colours and tastes great. It was a little tricky learning to eat out of the spoon, but I'm getting good at it now. Lucky I have a bib because this stuff goes everywhere.
So now that I can eat solid food, I need to sit at a table like a big person. At Daddies place I have a special table that has cool toys that sit on it. When it's time to eat, the toys come off and its a food table.

As you can see, I really like that springy birdie.

New Hat

Remember my hat collection that I told you about a while back? Well I got a new one to add to it. Mum and Dad took me down to Cronulla and bought me a new hat. It's blue like the sky. Then I got to go out into the sun and try it out. Looks pretty good don't you reckon?

(Yes, that is Mum tickling me when I was trying to look serious for the camera)

Chatterbox 2 - "Dada"

I think I'm finally getting the hang of this talking game. I've just found out that if I move my mouth and tongue around when I'm using my voice, I can make other sounds. And do you know what sound I can make now?....DADA! It's a pretty good trick because once I say it, everybody says it and tries to talk like me.

My Big Day

Well today was a big day for me. It was my baptism. I'm not quite sure what it is all about but it was a long day and I got to see a lot of people. I had to dress up in a special gown and go to church. I tried my hardest not to spew on the nice gown (it was the same one my sis had when she was little). The man talked for a long time and it was a bit much for me so I decided to take a nap. I got woken up when the man was pouring water on my head. Not real sure why he did that but I went back to sleep after that. I even got some cool things like my own personal bib and towel and a nice gold cross necklace. Later on I found out that I have 3 godparents - John, Chris and Santie.
Then we went to a nice place at Cronulla where I got to dress up in nice clothes while lots of people held me and talked to me. With so many things and people to look at there was no chance I was going to go to sleep and miss it all. What a long day!

Guess Who I Saw?

Do you know who I saw today? He was dressed in red and had a big, big white beard. I'm not quite sure how his hair grows that long but I loved the feel of it. Once I got a good grip I didn't want to let go. I've heard some other babies get scared of this big man in red but not me! I got my picture taken with him and my big sis, but I'm not going to put that picture up just yet...
