rain!!!

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
finally, after days and days of sweltering hot weather, it rained..! but it didn't cool things down... no sir-eee... it's still FLIPPIN' hot! anyway, what a crazy few days we've had lately!

last saturday, mum & aunty rara went into town for a manicure and some shopping together while i spent the day with daddy & aunty dotty. mum had a great time and enjoyed it so much that she's going to do it again tomorrow!

then on sunday it was my birthday!!! i am now one year old!!! mum & dad can't believe it sometimes i think...
i got lots of great presents from them and my nanna & pa, granny & pappa & aunty nini, and aunty rara & aunty dotty. and my great nannas too! thank you everyone!!!

we were up early (as usual) and after breakfast and presents, mum & i went for a walk down to the park where we met dad. he'd driven down there with all the stuff for my party and mum set up while daddy took me to play in the playground. then when it was time for my nap, mum got aunty rara & aunty dotty to come down from the house and look after everything and we went back home to sleep (i slept and mum got ready and relaxed a bit). daddy went and got the snacks and after i'd had my lunch, we went back down to the park with all the balloons!!


"happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear james, happy birthday to you!"

there were lots of people there and lots of little kids and babies too! one lady even had a baby in her tummy!! cool!!
uncle andrew & aunty sarah sparkle came too, and she had made me a beautiful cake and cupcakes too!!! it made mum cry when she saw it! thank you so much aunty sarah! it was delicious!!



i also got lots of presents at my party too, thank you everyone! i got really spoiled and mum is rotating the great toys i got so i don't get too "overwhelmed" she said...
we went home at about 3pm and i had another nap - what a great day!!!

then on tuesday, i had my 12 month check up with kerry and i've grown again! i weigh 11.89kgs and i'm 79cm long - nearly as tall as mum! ha ha!

then on wednesday, it was daddy's birthday!!! happy birthday daddy! he's 35 years old!!! that's 34 years more than me! wow! mum also made me a little play house - i love it!!!



then yesterday mum & dad took me for my second ultrasound on my head and the man there said it all looks normal. mum said she'd ring the paediatrician on monday though, just to check. i was pretty good and lay still most of the time.

then today, nanna & pa arrived from perth to visit! they brought a great trolley for me that pa & uncle kev had made for me, i can put things in it and push it around (when i can walk properly). pa put me in it and pushed me backwards and forwards and i liked that!

phew! what a crazy time!!! i think i'll sleep well tonight, i'm exhausted!
g'night everyone!
