My day out at the beach...

On Sunday, we went out to La Perouse, home to Paris Seafood, and went for a splash at the beach... It's not my first time at a beach, but it is the first time I've been for a swim there!

Here I am admiring the warm sun on my face...


And sitting back enjoying the view from the beach...


Grandma and Granddad were enjoying the view with me...


Grandma told me some stories about when daddy was little...


Mummy and daddy took me into the water... I thought we were going out on one of the boats, but apparently daddy doesn't own a boat yet (come on dad!)


The water was very cold, but its lots of fun, especially when the waves sneak up on you...


Then I had to warm up in the sun, and play with the sand...


Chill out for a while..


And cuddle up with daddy before going for some lunch!

What a great day!

Love Claire...

Sydney fun...

Sydney has been fun so far, as you've already seen below, I've played with Bow, and met some new friends... What follows is a random collection of pics from my time so far...

Firstly, a quick lunch at a cafe in Rhodes... we had to go to Ikea and buy a bath! This is me singing an opera (see, I've even got the actions going!)


After all that singing, I needed a cuddle with Grandma and Grandad!


Here's my new bath... People keep saying that I look just like daddy did when he was little!


We went out a 11pm for gelato (I know...my parents are a bit extreme), and I got to try banana gelato (yummy...)

Once again, Daddy thought it would be funny to take a picture with something on my head... so here I am entertaining him...

And again...


And one last one of me in a basket... we don't have a high chair here in Sydney so this is the next best thing...

Love Claire...

Friends

Yesterday, I went to meet my dancing instructor, Lachlan, for the first time... We went and had some lunch with Auntie My, and Auntie Mai, and played with Selina and Lachie.



Then today, I went to meet Auntie Mimi, and Iris.


Iris sat me down and filled me in on all the gossip on her nice pink couch.


And even played some games with me...



Before giving me a quick kiss as we went home...

Bow...

Hello everyone... Here's my first post from Sydney!!! It's taken a while coz daddy's computer doesn't seem to be working properly.

So far, I've had so much fun, and you'll see some more pictures coming through tonight!

This weekend, I have met my family in Sydney, including the family dog Bow.


Bow's really nice...he'll simply cuddle up beside me and not bother me too much...


He even allowed me to play with his favourite squeeky toy!


We played outside the garden for a while...



And I watched Bow and Grandad playing for a while...

Random thoughts...

Hello world... This weekend seems to have gone by in a bit of a blur... I'm so excited about going to Sydney next week, I can barely concentrate on each day.

I've got a rather random mix of pictures for you today...Hope you enjoy!

Firstly, this one was taken a couple of weeks ago by Auntie Felicia... This is me trying out my cute pose again...


Mummy and daddy lowered the height of the cot again... with my stripy pjs, I look the part of a convict!


Please let me out...


I've been trying some new foods this week, including some mashed banana, boiled apples, and some rice porridge. I can't remember what I was eating here, but I thought I'd better have the bowl ready, just in case.


Mummy bought me a nice book this week with an inflatable ducky...


I'm ready for a roast duck about now...


This weekend I got to go swimming three times! Saturday morning, then Saturday evening with Amelia and Uncle Richard, and then again on Sunday!

Here I am warming up in the shower with daddy after a nice cool swim!


On the way to visit our friends..


It's Christmas!!! Well, not its not, but Daddy finally let me open up my toys!


Uncle Richard & Auntie Heather lent me a walker... not too sure if I will use this for long, but it does make me feel like a real big girl!


And lastly, a video for my adoring fans... I just wanted to show off my newest skill...Crawling (forward of course!)!

Its Satuday...and we have a very long day planned for today...Grandma's going home tomorrow, so we've got to make the most of it...so we started with an early morning music lesson...


Lot's of fun this is...


Followed by a nice brunch at PS Cafe... Here I am with daddy and Grandma.


I can't believe how much mummy and daddy ate... looked like they ate the equivalent of me! But I got a nice little flower so I'm happy enough.

Love Claire...

Friday Fun 2...

Other than the shopping, I also went for another swim...Grandma really wanted to see me in the pool...


I really love the pool!

Splish splosh...


Hi there!


Yeah...you!


I tried to upload two videos... but one of them doesn't seem to work... and its a good one too, of me splashing on the sides... You'll all just have to make do with this one...

Friday Fun...

Today Daddy took a day off work to spend time with me and mummy and GRANDMA...who arrived last night.

We had a busy day...shopping, and eating, swimming...and then, at 8pm...we went to Ikea shopping again!

I didn't get a chance to take many pics today...I'll post some swimming ones next, but here's a couple of me at Ayam Penyet Ria (Mummy's favourite), and then some of me sleeping (daddy insisted!)
