December 3rd and 4th

You and Mama drove aaallll the way down to Jervis Bay this weekend and we picked up Poppy in Sydney on the way.

We stopped off in Berry for a bit of fresh air because you'd pretty much had enough of your carseat. You had slept all the way from our house to Poppy's unit in Darling Harbour, but then you were awake and bored all the way from Sydney. So we put you on a swing - you loved it and Mama thought she'd have a swing with you!

And it was so cool to see you and cousin Josie get to know each other better. Josie was very interested in you and smiled every chance she got.

 

 

We did a little Chrissy photo shoot with the two of you... we failed to get a good picture of the both of you together, but we got plenty of pictures of each of you separately.

 (You are such a drama-queen)

(I just love Josie's face in this one..."what you lookin' at punk?") 

 

At one stage, you and Josie were playing on the floor together and we looked down and you had stolen Josie's pink dummy! You were sucking on it and it looked like you were trying to figure out what the big deal was... you can't get food or milk out of it! You sucked and sucked and then pulled it out of your mouth and looked at it, puzzled. It kept you occupied for a good 30 minutes.

 

On Saturday morning, we went to the markets with Aunty Emma and your cousin Josie and you slept the entire time! Nanny bought you and Josie some cool matching overalls... you looked like a little Byron Bay babe.

Those overalls are cute from any angle.

Another cool thing is the fact that you are starting to pay attention to animals - which meant Nanny and Poppy's dog, Chelsea was veeerrryy interesting to you.

Here, you get acquainted:

It is so fun to see your grandparents on Mama's side. They love you so, so, so much and love having you around - even if you are a bit of a hurricane.
