Video time...again...

So...what a busy weekend its been, and I have finally gotten around to uploading the now famous swimming video!

But...before we get onto the videos, I have been analysing the responses to my little survey... I've had over 900 unique visits to my website... Now I know that daddy and mummy are probably responsible for around 500 of those (they love me very much), but I can't believe that the other 400 are from 6 people!!? I guess everyone's skipping my stories, and just admiring my pictures!

Anyways, thank you to everyone who left me a little note...When I look back in years to come, I will remember you! :)

Now... onto the videos...

1. High Chair fun - Here I am in my first ever high-chair! What a great view from up here!

2. Bouncing - I've almost figured out how to crawl...well, I can get up on my hands and kness at least...I just can't move forwards!

3. Raspberries - This has to be the most fun thing in the world!!!

4. Kissing Mummy - Maybe I should put an adults only rating on this one...

5. Whale of a time - And finally...the one you've all been waiting for! Here's me splashing around in the pool... and check out my new swimsuit. I really like the pool now...can't wait to get in there again!

High Chair Fun...

Today, mummy and daddy took me on a trip to Ikea... I have never been there (well, at least not on the outside), but mummy and daddy seemed very familiar with the place!

Our mission today was to buy a high-chair (and some other things that we ended up forgetting!)

So, first things first, I had to take the showroom model for a test drive... it seems to work fine!

Once home, I wanted to show the world just how quickly I am learning new things... Here I am with my water bottle...

But I'm over that, so I'm taking on a cup!

Oh...let's just skip the liquids and get onto some real food!

Before settling down to do some blogging.. It's a hard life as a baby!

A busy weekend! - Saturday

This weekend we were quite busy… I almost didn’t have time to post my pictures and videos…but I stayed up late (to mum and dad’s annoyance), just so I could post a note to all my fans!

I started off my Saturday with a nice kiss with mummy! I even filmed a video of this...I'm quite a kisser, but its only for mummy!

Afterwards, Mummy got me dressed up, as we were heading off to a BBQ with the Rogue mothers group we have joined.

Another of my pretty shots... need to keep practicing these poses!

We had a great time at the bbq, and I got to play with my buddies Sienna and Sierra... Here we are having a chat about our dads... It seems we all have the same issues...if only we could teach them!!! (PS Sorry to my other buddies who don't feature here...email me our pics if you can and I'll post here)

What's a girl to do!

I shouldn't have said so much...it seems daddy knew I was talking about him, and he got me back by putting me in the laundry basket... Please dad, let me out!

Love Claire...

Two whole weeks without an update!

Sorry I didn't get around to posting any pics last week...Oma was here, so we were busy having lots of fun!!!

I did take some pictures though, coz on Sunday (last week, not today) we went for a swim, and I loved it! I know some of you have seen the pictures already, but for those of you that haven't...here they are! (PS I'll also post a video of me splashing about!!)

But its worth the wait…here’s my brand new swim suit! It says, “Having a Whale of a time!”. Mummy bought me this so people would stop telling her off for not having proper swimwear!

I’ve been practicing my cute poses… I figure it will help me get lots of presents in Sydney haha…

Swimming was a little daunting at first…we were going in the big pool, and its quite deep…

But daddy kept me safe, so I had lots of fun!

Make sure to check out my videos!

Love Claire…

Who's out there???

I've noticed my little counter is clicking away...but no one has said hello for a while!

Leave me a little note if you will...just so I know who's regularly checking me out! :)

Video time...

It's been a busy weekend...and I managed to star in a couple of short video's too... Here's four videos of my time in Semarang...

• 1. Playing on the Plane - Flying is such fun... though only flying to our destination...coming home's not as much fun.
• 2. Current Affairs - I really enjoy reading magazines...I need to keep up to date you know!
• 3. Paprazzi - Just a video of me trying to fight off those pesky camera-dads!
• 4. Sad Eyes - Its the end of the holiday... so sad...

Gong xi fat cai!

The main reason we went back to Semarang this week was so that I could enjoy my first Chinese New Year!

We started the day early, I was still sleepy when I got dressed in my new outfit, ready to go out visiting our family...

But...soon after, I was very pleasantly surprised! I got gifts, in little red packets (which are somewhat tasty!)

Even when we came home, there were more!

But alas, it came to an end, and even though I practiced the motions so hard...

Once we were done visiting, it was time for a fashion show...

And some dancing on a little boy's head...

Outside in the garden with Oma...

And on the bar top in my nice little shirt-dress.

I know its the year of the rat...but my favourite is still the Golden Pig...because its me!

Flowers, Dinner and Driving

While waiting to go out to dinner, Oma was so nice to pick me some flowers for my hair.

I felt so pretty with the flower...


For all of you in Sydney and the UK, here's a piccy of mummy and daddy together...I'm not a bad photographer am I!?

And one of me with Oma...

After dinner, Oma let me drive home... Its quite dangerous driving in Semarang, but I think I'm getting the hang of it!

And one last photo of my war wound (under my eye)... During the night, I fought a fierce battle with a sharp nailed cat (well, at least that's my excuse)... Mummy, please cut my nails for me!

Love Claire...

Family time...

Here are a couple of pictures of me with some of my family in Semarang...

Just playing...

Here's a selection of shots of me at my best...just playing around....

I've taken a real interest in current affairs lately, as you will see from a video dad will post tomorrow!

What... you don't believe me?

This one's specially for Grandma, who like me is a huge Winnie the Pooh fan!

I'm in control now!

But don't worry, I just wanna have fun!

Love Claire...

Bathtime fun!

Daddy thought he'd take a photo of me in the bath... I'm not sure if you can see, but I poked my tongue out at him to tell him to go away...

But he cuddles me up nicely after, so I'll forgive him this time..

Bathtime is such fun..especially now my bum is bigger...

I am the running girl!

Love Claire...

Ayo! Ke Semarang!

It's Chinese New Year, so its time to head off to Indonesia again for a couple of days...

Come on...I'm packed and ready to go!!!

After a quick nap that is!

Okay...ready again...here we are waiting in the lounge for our plane to arrive...

with mummy...

and daddy...

and me...

When we got to the gate, there was another baby, Samuel. Samuel was born one day after me! What a coincidence... Apparently, Samuel's mum's brother tried to hit on mummy back in the school days!!!

Here we are on the plane..waiting for it to take off... this flying business sure does involve a lot of waiting!!!

Our in-flight entertainment consistent of 1-on-1 steward service (as we were the only ones in Executive Class)...

Almost there now!

Love Claire...
