my new pet

This is a picture of me and my new pet Slinki Malinki. I won him in a competition when I went to Tepapa for the book reading. He even gets to sleep with me in bed.

christmas parade

On saturday Mummy, Daddy, Dylan and I went to the Hutt Christmas Parade. We all went on the bus and I really enjoyed telling Daddy about everything I could see out the windows.
I sat next to James to watch the parade. It wasn't very exciting at first, and the wind was blowing so strong Mummy took my hat off in case it blew away.
Then I saw some cool floats. I especially liked the pirate ship, and I saw my friend Liam on the Playcentre float. But my favourites were the reindeers and then of course Father Christmas.

Dylan

All this extra food I have been eating has given me lots of energy. And Daddy says I am getting louder all the time (I have to, to be heard over Jakob). Here are a few photos of me this week. Eating my favourite toast with vegemite. Jakob calls me the vegemite monster.
And playing with my toys, its more fun to pull them out myself.
And finally, I joined Jakob and his playcentre friends at Junglerama in Wellington. I had a great time in the ball pit.

brekky for me

My world of food is expanding. I prefer pumpkin and banana to all other foods at the moment. Although I am partial to a bit of toast. Jakob says I should try something called vegemite? Maybe Mummy will let me have some next week........this toast is rather plain......

pirate jake

I was having fun with my dressups. I had my pirate scarf and sword and I used a gladwrap roll for my telescope ('noculars I call them). And I was into character so much that I got the washing basket out for my boat and got Mummy to put Bruce the shark in the 'ocean' next to me. I entertained Mummy and Dylan by singing Row Row Row your boat. I asked Mummy to sing some pirate songs but she didn't know any but suggested we might have a look at the library next week.

disco man

The other night I saw Dylan jumping in his jolly jumper and I said "lets disco dance dylan" and we were off. I held his hands to help Dylan turn around. He laughed a lot and I liked dancing with him.

foot painting

We had to get some artwork done for a calendar so Mummy decided to get our footprints. I helped to paint Dylan's feet (he didn't really like it that much) and Mummy painted my feet but I kept laughing because it tickled so much.

The Hairy Maclary Big Day Out

It was a really warm day out on Saturday as we started off on the train then walked down the beautiful Wellington water front to get to the Museum of NZ.
Dylan and I were with Mum and Auntie Nicola to go to listen to the book reading of the latest Hairy Maclary story called Slinky Malinki's Christmas Crackers. The book reading was done by the author, Lynley Dodd, and i even
got a copy of our book signed.














After the reading we had some playtime and i wrangled with a dinosaur at the museum and Mum even caught me in action. After that we had lunch in the cafe and i ordered a taosted sammy from the lady at the counter.














We then went back home on the train later that afternoon, after we both had a sleep we went over the hill to Wainui to pick Dad up and help uncle Deon with the last of the moving, but Uncle Deon and dad were busy having a beer, they declined to having there photo taken.......
