Play dough

Your first go at play dough this week and you were a whiz.

Beautifully decorated butterfly.

You asked me to make animals and then you put faces in them. Particularly eyes- all the animals need eyes!

This face with no help!

Counting

You've started saying '2' when you are offered one cracker (chips are included under the title of cracker).

Today you counted to 6!

Floored. You got 6 chips.

The first christmassing

The silly season festivities officially started Sunday with Glens extended family Christmas. 

You love hanging with granny. 

Christmas! You were super spookily as it was suggested that everyone buy you a gift. What a loot you've been collecting.

It was also Aunty Franki's birthday so we popped in there after. And we missed Jack on his birthday and they missed yours so presets all round.

Another hot day

44 on Saturday. 

Rough.

Had a quick swim in the morning. Well Dadad and I did and you screamed a lot. Not ready to go in again yet.

Loved the new water table though!! Trying to keep you cool I tipped water down your back which made you squeal equal parts delight and horror ;)

Hot day

A quick playground before it got to hot to be outside. 42 today- 44 tomorrow.

Cool dude checking out the playground.

Doing well with your climbing! Just needed spotting.

Beautiful day to check out the view.

Golden boy.

This doesn't look comfy, you kept sitting in here and swinging. I guess the nappy stops the wedgy.

Reindeer pasta for lunch. Ooooo.

Pics from the week.

Hanging out during the week.

Animals are still the flavour of the month. Especially after you received a booty of little people animal goods from the Conidi-Highams.

The zoo and the barn, tractor and zoo truck in there too.

Christmas shopping in stormy weather. 

Handsome boy. Very happy if you get a 'cake' - a finger bun.

Evening play at home after a 43 degree day at childcare. Cute hair to keep you cool. This week you had sleeps both days, what a relief.

Our Christmas gift

You've been busy at Childcare and we got presented with a gift from you.

A beautifully decorated box. 

Opens up to reveal your artwork, and a picture of you making it.

Just gorgeous! X

The birthday files- after party.

Back at ours Uncle Sash kept you all busy on the soccer pitch. 

You were both so in to the makeshift rabbit cage. 

The birthday files- party day

Party day!

Massive effort to get you down for a midday nap and then you weren't keen to wake up when it was party time.when I was listing everyone coming to the party and asking if you wanted to see them there was a lot of 'no' action but very happy once we saw the set up and guests waiting.

Balooooonnnnsss. This looks promising.

Cake! Very windy so we kind of pretended.

Animals.

Beautiful poppet!

Nice family shot if you could hear your eyes of the animals ;)

Playground fun.

Weeeee. So fast down here now. You tumbled at the end of the slide the first time but no worries- you said "John ok".

Pandas? Looking for pandas with Ella on the hill.

Hanging with the fam.

Our handsome man.

Party continued at the house.
