Calling all Kiwis

We're coming home!!

Just for a vist.. but Callum and Sarah will be arriving in Christchurch on September 29. Mike arrives on October 8th and we'll be attending Victoria and Paul's wedding on October 10th while Aunty Julia and Callum spend some quality time together. The following day (11/10) we'll all head up to Nelson and then ferry over to Wellington on October 13th. After 5 days there we fly up to Auckland for a bit of an explore around up north.

Can't wait to see you all!

Mike's back at work tomorrow after his 4 day weekend. Not sure what Callum will make of our day tomorrow, it will be a bit quiet just the two of us again. Busy week ahead though - music class on Wednesday, curry night for tea, lunch with the girls on Thursday and THEN .... GRANDAD ARRIVES! Yay!

Better go and get Mr Squealy-Pants into the bath before bedtime... see ya x

The Jersey

We decided it was time to pull out the Big Guns for this week's Bledisloe match. Callum wore his ABs jersey for the very first time. He was too small a month ago for the last game and although it's still pretty roomy at least it won't be mistaken for a dress.

My Mum is so cool

 

I see your beer Dad ...

 

It's all so exciting...

Callum is sitting up really well on his own now. Here's a video from this morning...



Mike's got a 4 day weekend this weekend so today we took Callum out for dim sum and shopping at the new ION Orchard. Tomorrow we're off to Boomerang Bar for the next installment of the Bledisloe Cup. Let's hope Callum keeps up his winning streak vs Australia!!!

Lunch time!

Today I had some crackers, broccoli & zucchini with cheese and apple & mango rice pudding for lunch. What a feast!

Teeth!

I have two! And possibly four more on the way as well. Poor Mummy and Daddy huh.

Almost EIGHT months

My Mummy is a slack blogger. Sorry, you will have to wait till my fine motor skills improve a bit before I can keep you more up to date.

It's nearly my 8 month birthday. I've been busy since the last update - I've found my feet, my thumb and I can even sit up! I met my Aunty Julia in Thailand (she seemed to drink a lot of beer...) and my Aunty Jelaine and Uncle Tez back here at home. Then I went on ANOTHER plane to Bali. We stayed in a nice big villa and I went swimming every day.

I really like my new house. Mummy takes me walking in my pram nearly every day. There are lots of very old ladies who like to clap at me and try to pinch my cheeks. My new room is great, I have all my things from my old room and some new things too. Mummy gets a bit frustrated having to come up the stairs to help me find my dummy though I think. She only just realised I can put it back in my mouth all by myself.. now I'll need to think of another reason to get her up here!

Soon my Grandad John will be coming to visit. I can't wait. We're going to go cycling on the East Coast. Apparently it's a big deal because Mummy had to wait till I could sit up.

I've also met a new friend. He seems to pop up in the funniest places - in the bathroom before my shower, under my play gym... even in the lift sometimes! He's pretty funny though, I like talking to him. He makes me laugh.
