And by the way, check out our outfits - pretty interesting from a couple of mums who weren't going to dress their daughters in pink!
Yes, yes. As you can see I am becoming quite the little socialite. Here I am with my good friend Dylan. His mum, Alison, brought him down to our place the other day and we had great fun. The only thing is that when Mum and Alison get together all they seem to do is talk. Blah, blah, blah. Dylan and I ended up resorting to sleep they went for so long!
And what is my secret for the incredible growth rate? A diet rich in iron of course...
Love and kisses,
Chloe and Cohen brought their mum and dad with them. Mum and Dad were very happy to catch up with Natalie and Chris and mum loved the chance to cuddle April and Taj - the 4 month old twins. Daddy says Mummy didn't like babies much before I came along, I can't really see it myself...
Pop Mark also had a lovely time explaining the elephants to me - I liked the way they could break big branches with their trunks and then just eat them. And the giant soccer ball was pretty cool too.
Then it was on to my favourite part of the day - patting the kangaroos. Now we have heaps of kangaroos round our place. We see them every time we go walking near the golf course, but patting these kangas was fantastic. I had such a big smile - absolutely loved it!
The koalas were also very cute - Mum was surprised to discover a couple of them were even awake. Not bad seeing they tend to sleep for 20 hours a day!
And here we are posing for the compulsory cheesy tourist pic - I'm going to let you all think that this is a real crocodile and I am the bravest baby in the whole world. (If you are buying that then you should give me a call so I can hook you up with some professional help.) All the other people who were around when we were taking these photos commented on how cute I was - sometimes it's just hard work being this adorable!
And at the end of the day, what else is there to do but to give your fans a smile and a wave.
Overall, it's a great place and well worth a visit if you are ever in that part of the world.
From here, Mum and Dad decided they would chance their luck on the Superman Escape rollercoaster. If you look carefully at this picture, you can see Mummy sitting in the far seat four rows from the front (in a white shirt). If you look really carefully, you can see that she is sitting next to an empty seat. Apparently Daddy is too tall for the Superman Escape. Needless to say, Daddy is no longer a Superman fan. (But Mum really loved it - it was the best ride she's been on and now she thinks she's pretty tough).
So fresh from the rejection of one rollercoaster, we headed for another - the Lethal Weapon ride. Daddy was pleased to discover that he was allowed on this one, although he was questioning his decision about 5 minutes after the ride had stopped and he was pale and sweaty! Mum didn't fare too well after this one either... You can see them in the picture, third car from the back.
Not to be outdone by my incredibly soft parents, I thought it was time to give my first ever ride a go. Gran isn't a big fan of the rollercoasters so she jumped at the chance to take me on the Loony Toons train. I liked the ride, but wasn't too keen on being strapped in, especially when they decided to go around a second time.
After the ride, Mum and I posed for the compulsory Movieworld shot - you can see she is still looking a little pale after her Lethal Weapon encounter! But Daffy and I are pretty cute.
And after a big day at a theme park, testing all the rides, eating dodgy cafeteria food and compulsory souvenir shopping what else is there to do other than a well earned nap. 
Next step, Australia Zoo...
Then I was up and their was no stopping me...
I even gave the one hand off a shot!
Stay tuned for the next Brisbane update...
When it rains it pours - yet another post! But I was just so cute in the bath last night that Mummy couldn't help herself. I am so clever that I am sitting up in the bath now. I think I am almost ready to move into the big girl bath. I can hear every one of Mummy's vertebra calling out 'NO!' Our bathtub is very low, lucky bath time is Daddy's job.
I am really loving my books at the moment. I'm sure you are thinking that means I love reading them, not quite. I love eating them! Lucky they are made of pretty sturdy cardboard or I would be chewing on pulped paper by now!
Mum thought she would get a little creative with her photos the other day even going as far as setting up a black background. I think the results speak for themselves!
Turns out that was because he had other plans...
A big, wet kiss! (Great parenting, Mummy!)
Love,
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.
I can make it from one side of the family room to the other in no time at all, especially if Johnno is sitting on the other side - only problem is he seems to get up and walk away every time I get close. He's either very smart or very rude! Tracksuit pants and socks also tend to make the tiles a little slippery so the carpet really is my crawling surface of choice.
From Grandma's we went to visit Aunty Leith and Uncle John and bonus! We also got to see Dave and Jack who were there too. I think I like Jack very much - he's so much fun.
