Happy New Year

Hi guys!!!!! Hey, it's taken me a long time to get back to my blog. Mummy doesn't let me near the computer very often. But here I am and I promise I'm going to blog more often in future.

Well heaps has changed since the last time I blogged. And just as I predicted in my last entry, no longer do I just get dragged around with Mummy and Kathleen ... I am now mobile and they have to follow me around too!!! Although actually what happens is that they go out of the room without me and I have to follow them :-( I don't like it when Mummy leaves the room.

I have been crawling for about 5 months now. It took me a little while to build up the confidence to try it, but once I did there has been no stopping me. I'm also really good at walking along behind the ride-on Dora car. Or behind anything that moves really, like laundry baskets, trolleys or dolls strollers. And I love walking along holding Mummy's hand. I'm still not so sure about walking on my own though. I can do a couple of steps at a time but then I get all wobbly and chicken out. It's a little scary.

I have heaps of teeth now. I have all my front teeth and four molars. The molars really hurt coming through and I was a bit miserable for a while. About a month before that I had the chicken pox which was also really yucky.

These are my favourite things:

• My sister Kathleen. I love to play with her. I love to kiss her and her to kiss me. It always makes me giggle. I watch her play and then I want to play with the same things, but she doesn't always like that.
• My Daddy. He tickles me and makes me laugh.
• My Mummy. She is always there for me and gives me lots of cuddles. I love cuddles.

I'm trying really hard to talk to my family, but they don't always understand me. I can say Mamma and Dada. I can say duh (duck) and ba-baa (bye bye). I know lots of other words like cat and ball and bird and bath but can't quite make the right sounds for everybody to understand. It is so frustrating.

Well I'd better go now as it's getting late. Talk to you all again next month.

Luv,
Victoria

Here at last

Hi there world, here I am!!! Things have been pretty exciting around here lately, but I've finally managed to sneak onto the computer without Mummy and Daddy knowing.

It's taken me a while, but I think I've finally figured out what's going on around here. Since I learned to sit up last month, a whole new world has opened up to me. For a start I can play with toys, chew on them, shake them, drop them, see what happens.

And I can also see everything that's going on. I wish I could get more involved. Right now I'll see my big sister Kathleen playing with something, and I would really love to play with it too. But she keeps things so far out of my reach. If I do manage to get hold of anything, she usually takes it away again. Unless Mummy's watching.

I can also see all the people I love, and I really hate it when they leave the room. I want to go too!!! I'll have to do something about that ...

I really love my Mummy and Daddy, and my big sister Kathleen. I love it when any of them get down on my level and look me in the face and talk to me. I also love to pull on their hair ;-)

I want to be just like Kathleen when I'm older. I want to do everything that she does. I've been watching everything everyone does with interest. Like watching them eat. Finally Mummy has started giving me some stuff to eat too. I didn't much like it at first. The spoon was fun to chew on and play with, but the stuff on it didn't taste like anything really. But then she gave me pears and bananas. I really like those. I would like to eat lots more if Mummy would let me. I especially love having midnight snacks. For some reason Mummy doesn't seem too keen on it though ;-)

That's about all there is at the moment. It seems that I spend a lot of time following Mummy and Kathleen as they go about their activites. But, mark my words, it won't be long until they're following ME around instead.

Luv,
Victoria
