7 months Old

Well, I'm 7 months old now. I can sit by myself and roll as I like. Not quite crawling yet, going backwards ok. I get up on my knees and hands but still working out how to move forward.

Mum & Dad no longer need to put my dummy in during the night because I can take it out, drop it, find it and put it back in. I prefer having a second one around to make it easier to fnd in the dark.

I am gabbling away, laughing and enjoying my veggies washed down with the occasional sip of water.

The London Eye

One of the highlights of my time in London was a trip on the London Eye. When I finally woke up, we were high in the sky and looking down on where we had just been - it was all very confusing but exciting all the same.

Sightseeing in London

We decided to explore some of Mum and Dad's favourite haunts in London, visiting Trafalgar Square, Covent Garden and other cool places. We even went to visit the queen but she failed to pitch.

My first Art Gallery visit

While in London, Dad thought it would be a good idea to give me an early introduction to art so we visited the Tate Gallery together while Mum went to her favourite GAP store to stock up on gear for the girls.

I wasn't quite sure what to make of this toilet in the glass box behind me and some of the other funny things I saw there. Everyone I saw there was very quiet so I decided to liven things up a bit by goo'ing, gaa'ing and squealing quite loudly and listening to the sound resonate through the gallery. Great fun.

My friend Polly

This is my friend Polly. She also lives in London and we stayed with her for a few days where we played with her cool toys - her dad and my Dad are great mates and she's only 6 months older than me and 6kg's heavier mind you - I made sure not to break her toys because she's got some serious size on her side.

My friend Kate

This is my friend Kate - her Mum is Deb, my Mum's great friend from the farm next door. She's 2 and a bit years older than me and lives in London. We plan to go backpacking around Europe some day like my Mum and her Mum did 10 years ago.

In the Vineyards

Bonjour again!


This weekend I had my first visit to a winery, the famous Chateau Belair near the town of Saint Emilion in the Bordeaux region. Beautiful place, very nice to be out in the vines under the summer sun.

The Dancing Baby

Remember the famous dancing baby on the internet a few years ago?



Well, today I did my impression of the dancing baby when I shook my chassis to this French brass band that were playing in the square where Mum and Dad were having dinner. Here's a photo and some video...

This weekend we travelled to Paris to see the sites and catch up with some of our best mates.

What an experience, we walked the sights of Paris, stopping at The Eiffel Tower, Musee D'Orsay and The Louvre. We strolled up the Champs Elysee, ate baguettes and generally took in the sights and sounds of Paris. We were lucky to have the best weather of the year so far.

Euromates

I also had the chance to finally meet some of Mum & Dad's best mates: Lighty, Schulzie, Jonno&Jo and the Judge, all of whom seemed to have a particular fondness for the French wine.
