this video is of me counting my peaches, i just want to mention that i can actually count to twenty (and sometimes beyond) properly but i was joking around to make mummy laugh (it worked) at my silly counting...

earth hour

it's earth hour tonight at 8pm melbourne time, have a look here to see what it's all about and join us by switching off your lights for an hour!

cool as a cucumber

well finally!
it's raining!
woo hoo!!!

not much has been happening here, we had a long easter weekend and i did lots of things with daddy so mummy could have a rest - i really like doing things with daddy!

then yesterday i took mum on an adventure into the city. we went on the tram and i sat on the seat next to mum and held her hand the whole way very tightly, then we walked around for a while and mum looked in a couple of shops before we went to buy me some new pants because mine are all getting too small or they're shorts for summer.

mum also had my feet measured because she was going to buy me some new shoes but they didn't have my size - i'm now size 7, wow! she is going to look for some in another shop tomorrow on her "day off". anyway, then we went and had lunch and watched the little birds eating crumbs off the table - it was very funny! birds should be outside in the trees and flying in the sky but these little birds were inside the shopping centre and they seemed quite happy there - they were singing and chirping

then we went back to the tram to come back home and got inside just in time! it started bucketing down with rain and mum & i both had a nice nap for 2 hours, cosy-posy!

today it was still raining and lovely & cool, i had my socks on most of the day and mum & i played building blocks and trains & tracks and then she made some cupcakes with blue icing - yummy!

here are some photos from last weeks adventure to the park and afterwards we went to see the dinosaurs at the museum again (i like dinosaurs!)



leaves have started falling on the ground



so much to see, so little time!



see-saw with mum (for about 2 seconds and then i wanted to get off)



showing daddy how to wash the dishes



this is percy, he is the kitty next door and when his mum & dad go away for the weekend we feed him




he seems to think our house is his house at the moment and the last two days he's been sleeping in mum & dad's room because it's raining (they keep their window open to let in the fresh air)



he's very friendly and isn't scared of me at all - he is also very s-l-i-n-k-y slinky and curls his tail around me!



silly percy!

frikkin' hot!

today it got to 38.7C and tomorrow's forecast is 40C!

saturday's is 30C, sunday & monday & tuesday's are 36C

we are all melting!

that's all i have to say

a visit to the zoo & lucy's birthday

so on sunday i took mummy & daddy to the zoo - this time we saw heaps of animals and my favorites were the "very tall" giraffes

it was very hot and when we got home we all had a long nap after our big adventure

here are some photos of the animals we saw



a gorilla making a nest



giraffes!!!!!!!!



giraffes and a zebra!!!



an ostrich (mummy told me she was chased by an ostrich once!)



a daddy carrying a hootchi



a wombat



a kookaburra



an interesting sculpture



a hootchi with his star stickers for being such a good boy
(i put the star on my own nose)



a lion!!! we heard the lions roaring, they were really very loud!

then yesterday i got daddy to drive us down to geelong to visit lucy for her birthday - she is three whole years old now! we had fun at her house instead of going out (it was 37C and horrible outside so we stayed inside in the cool) and then daddy drove us home at about 2pm. it takes about an hour to get home and so i had my nap very late and mum had to wake me up for dinner because i was so tired from all the fun i had!

we gave simon a lift home and he stayed for dinner (and beers with daddy) last night, he makes me laugh - silly simon!

anyway, that's about it for now i think - i've been at nanna & pa's house all day (nanna wasn't there, she was in tasmania for a few days) and now it's dinner time so i'd better be off!

adios amigos!

sepia pictures

here are some photos of me that mum took tonight before bath time







it's been very hot & humid again today and the next few days are supposed to be the same but we are going to the zoo tomorrow morning anyway - yippee!!
and then on monday we're going to visit lucy down in geelong, it's her birthday and she is going to be 3 years old! i'll get mum to put photos up after we get back from lucy's house

later dudes x

ps:

hot & dry

so today it was 30C so we played outside for a little while this morning, i think mum was hoping she could wear me out without leaving the house today!  she managed to do lots of washing and has plans to do more tomorrow (it's supposed to be 31C tomorrow) she is going to wash the couch covers!  what's that all about?!

she told me she is "nesting" and that it means she's got an unexplainable urge to get ready for when baby comes...  she's taken out all my old baby things and washed them all, and she's making lots of lists too, crazy mummy!

anyway, here are some photos of me playing in my car today - enjoy!

weemade blog

mum put my "hippo" artwork up on this site, for everyone to see!
it's a website for children's artwork so if you have any children who have any artwork you must put it here for everyone to enjoy! there's some great stuff here, have fun looking!

harmonica hootchi

so this morning i woke up and i told mum that i "feel much better" and she was happy! i slept until 8:30am too, so she got a bit of a sleep-in too, which also made her happy

later on, jovi & simon came to visit us and jovi cut my hair for me so now it looks much better and isn't going into my eyes any more - thank you jovi!

here is a movie of me playing my harmonica, i really like to play it and i think i'm quite good at it too - what do you think?

woe is me...

i'm not feeling very well... i have a very snotty nose and feel yucky...
i've been up a lot the last two nights and mum has been helping me get back to sleep - thanks mum!

anyway, here's a picture of me painting on thursday - it was my first time painting and i really liked it!
this is me painting a masterpiece entitled "hippo", as you can see i'm ambidextrous:

am·bi·dex·trous /ˌæmbɪˈdɛkstrəs [am-bi-dek-struhs]
–adjective
1. able to use both hands equally well: an ambidextrous surgeon.
2. unusually skillful; facile: an ambidextrous painter, familiar with all media.



bye for now, it's nap time x
