my first footy game

so today i took mum, dad, uncle nath, aunty jovi & uncle simon to a footy game here. it was my first time and i had heaps of fun! we got there around 1pm (after my nap) and found a good spot on a little hill were we could put our picnic rug and eat our hot dogs and the grown ups could have a beer or three.

there was music and people and dogs and footy and dogs and food and music and people and dogs and more dogs! i had such a good time and there were even three (3) streakers! two men and a lady right at the end of the match! everyone laughed but i'm not sure why really - i get to streak when it's bath time... come to think of it, mum & dad laugh at me then too... did i mention the dogs? there were so many dogs there, it was great!

afterwards, we all came home in the car (jovi sat on simon's lap in the front seat) and we had fish & chips for dinner before my bath time and they all left about half an hour ago. we all had such a great time and are all very tired now so we're going to bed...

here are a few photos from today's excursion

the rain in spain...

...falls mainly in melbourne!

it's SO cold here, and wet too (which is a good thing because of the drought and everything, but does it really need to be so cold!?!)

anyway, i'll keep typing despite my fingers cramping up & turning blue from the cold...

so daddy's been in sydney the past few days for work again - we missed him lots & lots!

there's not much else to report really so here are a few photos for you (they are ones that guggy & mum took when we went up to bright) - mum has edited them a bit and had copies made to sent in the mail so watch out for the mail man/mail lady/mail person

have you heard of paul potts?

mum found this video today and wanted to share it with you (especially guggy, who loves opera music) - enjoy

an apple a day

an apple a day is supposed to keep the doctor away, we'll see...







interesting...

troublesome

today i'm being a little "testy" with mum, she's quite exhausted now and i'm off to bed (gotta make sure i make lots of sleep noises too, just to keep her on her toes tonight)

loquacious little lad

so we're all sick again... mum is still coughing and i'm going to try to get her in to see the doctor tomorrow. i have a cough too but not as bad as hers...
dad had the day off work yesterday because it was the queens birthday (huh?) and we all stayed at home... we were supposed to go and visit uncle simon & aunty jovi for a roast but we had to cancel because i was having "issues" - sorry uncle simon & aunty jovi!

since guggy's left it's been different around here but we have gotten into a different routine again and we are coping - mum is even cooking!!! real food!

mum & dad have made a list of all my words which i thought i'd share with you (these are what i actually say and if anything is in brackets, it's what i actually mean)

daddy
mummy
guggy
again *
okay *
more *
yeah
nuh *
no *
ta
ta-ta (more urgent version of ta)
ta-ta-ta (surprisingly more urgent version of ta - could also be understood to mean "are you not listening woman?")
mommy (molly the dog)
meow (cat/kitty)
ball
mouw (mouse)
door
where you?
where are you?
doo doo (sleep)
uh oh...

i can understand a lot more and i'm trying all the time to say new and interesting things so that i can have long and meaningful conversations with mum & dad one day soon

anyway, here is a photo of me at the airport vending machine when we took guggy to get her plane back to cape town - darn buttons are just a bit too high!



love me

a trip to the museum

so yesterday i took mum, guggy (aka granny) & aunty rara to the melbourne museum. it was great fun and we got to see all kinds of things! there were even birds and frogs and bugs - all alive! and lots of dead stuffed things, which was a bit weird but anyhoo... we also saw dinosaur bones (rowr!) and fish too, it was all pretty tiring but i had a great time with the gals!

here are a couple of photos, first one is of me doing my thing as caterpillar whisperer



then we have a shot of a brown frog



then i'm inspecting some butterflies stuck in a porthole in the ground (???)



and then we have me sorting out the stalagmites



today i helped mum pack guggy's suitcase, it's pretty full!!!
guggy leaves for cape town tomorrow and we're going to miss her very, very, very much...

anyway, better get to bed before i start getting all choked up here
