MOTHER'S DAY

Hello again. Dad and I have just helped Mum to celebrate her second ever Mother's Day.

We also got to hang out with Nana, Grandad, Uncle Dean and Great Grandma Walker at Wireless Hill for a BBQ breakfast. The playground was awesome and I could climb the holey steps on my own - well, almost on my own. I also got to climb one of the towers - I picked the biggest one. I held Daddy's hand, but took every step on my own. It was very tiring but lots of fun. And I even got to check out where Nana works at the radio station.

Then we went to see Gran, Pop and Uncle Paul for the last time at the South Perth apartment. Pop was having some trouble getting to sleep so I offered to help him have a little nap on the comfy chair.

We even got to see Aunty Leith and Uncle John and Aunty showed me the fish in the pond - very cool.

Hope you enjoy the photos.

JUST HANGING OUT

Hi there. Thought it was time for another update in the life and times of Hannah. So I've decided just to post a couple of photos of me hanging out with some of my friends. Enjoy.Cuddling my buddy Swoobs

Visiting Jorja and Sharne - Jorja had lots of cool toys for us to play withMeeting my newest friend Hayley for the very first time - she was tiny and very, very cute!

Off to daycare for the first time - and boy did I love it!Playing in the sandpit with Maddi and Talia...

... and then Maddi gave me some of her cheesecake - yum!And here I am in the bath with my little friend Amelie - she let me give her lots of kisses and I showed her all my cool bath toys

PROJECT: CUBBY HOUSE

Hello again. Mummy says to say sorry for leaving it so long between posts. She says it's her fault I haven't updated in a while because she has been very busy with the hen's night and wedding and 30th and hasn't been able to help me. So here is my much anticipated cubby house post. I'll let the sequence of pictures do the talking for me. Enjoy!

DAY ONE

DAY TWO

I think it turned out pretty good. I spend so much of day running in and out and opening and closing the door, and I just love having friends over. Since this picture was taken, Mummy has finished it off with some stinky varnish - now we just need to install the flat screen plasma and bar fridge and we're in business!

See you all at my place soon,
Hannah

MY NEW SANDPIT

There has been a lot happening in our garden lately. At first I thought Mum and Dad were just mucking around, like planting more agapanthas down the side and growing tomatoes and pumpkins and stuff. And then this hole in the sand appeared...
I was pretty impressed with having a big hole in the back yard - throwing bolts down the post holes was the best fun ever! Especially watching Mummy get down on her hands and knees to reach all the way down and fish them out. (And I'm not smoking for those of you who have already commented on this picture!!! Although if you whack a stubby in my left hand, together with the pot belly and bucket hat, then I think you have a pretty convincing Life Be In It ad!)
Here's Daddy and Gran lowering the frame into place
And here's all of us filling the hole with clean white sand. What's going on here...
Oh, it's a sandpit just for me! Here I am making sand angels.
And here I am again - I'm a little annoyed that Mummy is trying to get me to pose for a photo, I mean you just don't interrupt when one is building sandcastles!
Thanks everyone, I love my new sandpit - now we just have to keep Johnno out...

A CATCH UP POST

Hi there.
This will probably be a pretty long post, I have to catch you all up on my adventures over the last couple of months. So here we go...

Here I am with Sophie again. I love playing with Soph and I had a great time showing her all my toys. I can't wait 'til next time she comes and the sandpit and cubby are ready. We will have so much fun!
Then I got to go to a party with Daddy and Gran. It was Daddy's cousin Narelle's 30th birthday party and she had a fairy theme for the day. This worked out perfectly for me since I had a fairy dress just waiting for the perfect occasion (thanks Kaye!) There was bobbing for apples in these great little paddle pools, but I just liked grabbing the apples, biting some of them and then seeing how big a splash I could make when I threw them back in.
I have also discovered Jungle Gym - now that is the best place ever! Everything is padded and there is so much to do. I think I love the long trampolines the best - I can really get up to speed on those. You can see in the bottom photo that I am just about to stack it. Apparently your leg isn't meant to bend that way... I have been going with Talia and Sophie and even Dylan last week. It's hard to catch up with my friends though because there is always so much to do.
We've found something else that's great to do on the weekend - we took a drive out to Serpentine Dam for lunch. The scenery was great and the best part was all the birds who came and talked to us while we were sitting there. There were 28s and little blue wrens just to name a couple - fantastic! And of course, there's always a kiss for Daddy...This photo is just here because Mummy thinks it's cute.And this last photo is of my with my newest little friend, Maya. She's so cute and I have learnt very quickly that I need to be very gentle when we are playing together.I hope you've liked this little catch up. But check back again soon for updates on my new sandpit and my new cubby house - YAY!

Hannah.

AUSTRALIA DAY

Australia Day 2008 was all about the water.

We started the day off at Jessica's place (she's Mum's cousin) to celebrate her 30th birthday. Thanks for having us, Jessica. The spa was a great idea for a hot day and I had so much fun playing with Connor.
Then from Jessica's we headed out to Gran and Pops' place for all the fun and games of Australia Day in South Perth. I had the best afternoon playing in the apartment and then Pop Mark took me for a swim in the pool - 2 swims in one day, sounds like heaven to me!Mummy says I look like an angel in these pictures. I decided to indulge her and keep the headband on long enough for her to catch a couple of happy snaps - she really does try very hard even if she is a little annoying sometimes!And this last picture was taken while I was sleeping (yes, I slept through the entire Skyshow). Daddy is pretty talented with the camera too.Happy belated Australia Day everyone - what a great country this is!

Love,
Hannah

PERTH ZOO - THE SECOND TIME AROUND

Post, post, post. I have to admit that this has been a pretty busy month for me. I've had people to catch up with and things to do, new toys to play with and masterpieces to create. But one of my favourite January days was our trip to the zoo. Mummy, Nana, Grandad, Uncle Dean, Great Aunty Raye and Jaimee came with me and I had the best time.

I saw lots and lots of animals - I think the penguins were my favourite although the rhinos caught my eye for quite a while too. Mummy now fancies herself as a bit of a wildlife photographer - don't say anything to her, but I think she had better just stick to the teaching... I can't wait til our next visit because Mum says I can have a go on the Merry-go-round, bring it on!

Catch you all soon,
Hannah.
