Hi again to all my friends. I know it has been a while since you have seen any updated photos but we have been very busy as you will see from these pictures. I am growing fast and will be 8 months old soon. I am getting ready to crawl but haven't quite worked out the coordination of limbs yet so find that sliding and rolling is quite effective in getting around. I always surprise Mum with how much I can move now. Nothing is safe on the floor anymore no matter how far away-hehehe.
Here I am looking pretty cool in my sunnies. They don't stay on very long at the moment because they are so much fun to chew. But I suppose you already know that!!!








This photo was taken the other day in our new house. It was just before I launched myself at the nearest electric cord. Not sure why I am not allowed to play with them.





We celebrated my first Christmas in December and I got to open some presents. I am not usually given paper to play with so it really was a special day. Here I am opening a present with Dad.

My cousin Jacob came over at Christmas so I got to see how much he has grown. Here he is giving me a lovely kiss. He is very gentle.

















Here we are still celebrating Christmas a couple of days later. I found the whole experience pretty exhausting. Grandma was very comfortable so I caught up on some much needed sleep. Don't we both look cute??


After Christmas, in amongst all the packing to move, we went on a camping holiday to Patonga. I had a great time. The water was close by and I got to go swimming and play in the sand. Here I am with Uncle Matt in the beach tent. He was doing a bit of fishing and I was helping. OOPS..... Got busted eating some of the sand. Don't tell Mum.








My cousin Faith thinks I am fantastic and always wants to hold me. Here we are having a cuddle on the camping chair. Faith and Chloe both enjoyed playing with me while we were camping and they love to make me laugh by dancing and jumping in front of me.




Here I am in my chair showing how good I am at eating now. I love my food but I have to tell you that my favourite food is mango. Mum lets me suck her mango seeds and I get very upset when she takes it away. Actually devastated would be the correct word.




Just before we moved into the new house, Eoin and Amoya came to visit and play with me.










Since I now love the water so much, it is fun to go for a dip on hot days in my wading pool.


Here I am on the new bike that Dad got for us. I am still a bit little but Dad took me out for a short ride in the cul-de-sac and now I can't wait until I am big enough to go out regularly. I had a fantastic time.
And Grandma Cameron would be very proud of me. Here I am out gardening with Mum. She makes me do all the hard work as you can see but I really love being outdoors.


So that is the latest update on how things are going. We have been pretty busy and it doesn't look like things will quieten down here for a while but we are looking forward to another trip to Auckland soon to see my new cousin Jesse who was born last week. Well done Auntie Delwyn.
