IT'S BEEN A WHILE!

Hi there. I know, I know, I've left it a very long time between posts. The complaints have been rolling in and I guess this is where I try to blame it on my mum! She's so slack! Not really, I have just been so mobile lately that Mum and I are very busy every day. There's crawling and playing and chasing the dog and avoiding naps to keep me busy so finding time to sit down at the computer has become a lot more difficult.

Speaking of chasing Johnno, that's what I'm up to in the picture below. I really love Johnno but I'm beginning to wonder if the feeling is mutual. You see whenever I get close to him he gets up and walks away. It might have something to do with the time I wouldn't let go of his ear...As I mentioned, I am a lot more mobile now - I am an excellent crawler and since I am so quick around the floor, Mum and Dad decided to get me a walker. I've heard them use the word 'containment' but I just think it's fun scooting around and playing with the cool dashboard.
Not only am I a jet at crawling, but I can now sit up on my own too. I was a little shaky at first and yes, there were a couple of falls with big whacks to the head, but I learnt to balance pretty quickly and love to sit and play with my toys. Mum is a little worried though as I sit kind of funny most of the time with one of my legs out in front and the other folded behind me. She thinks this will mess with my knees, I guess we'll have to wait and see.
My Daddy loves it when I wear a dress and this red number was my special present all the way from Sweden. Thanks Bengt and Anita. My Pippy Longstocking doll also came from Sweden (a pressie from Henrik and Ida).
So that's what's going on with me at the moment. I'm 7 and a half months old and weigh over 10kgs now. I'm almost 75cm tall and am wearing size 0 clothes (but I also fit into size 1 in most outfits). I can't wait for my first trip on a plane on June 9th - we are going to Brisbane to visit Gran and Pop Mark for 10 days and I am especially looking forward to all the cuddles and a trip to Australia Zoo.

Well, better go it's time for me to fight the morning nap for an hour or so before I finally realise how tired I am and give in to the sleep!

Will try to post again sooner next time,

Hannah.
