Click the image for a larger version [29 May 2004, age ] Having fun in the pool.

Click the image for a larger version [29 May 2004, age ] We all went to the pool this afternoon, with the Fearns - Kate and Rachel and their parents Paul and Heather. I really like being in pool. I get to sit in my little seat and Mum and Dad take me places. Sometimes I even help a bit by kicking.

Click the image for a larger version [29 May 2004, age ] Me and my Dad! We're going out to get the mail, but its quite sunny outside so I'd better put a hat on.

Click the image for a larger version [25 May 2004, age ] OK, so this is what happens when you do raspberries while eating butternut squash and corn. I managed to get Mummy too - she was not overly impressed. At least I managed to finish it all (except for the bit up my nose and on my eyelid!). Maybe I should think twice about food raspberries in the future!

Click the image for a larger version [23 May 2004, age ] "Open wide, come in side. It's my vegetables." I like eating them, and Mummy does too, except when I blow raspberries while I'm eating them.

Click the image for a larger version [23 May 2004, age ] I just love sitting up!

Click the image for a larger version [21 May 2004, age ] What a big smile! We're going over to Ken & Jean's (next door) for drinks, so of course I had to wear something nice. This is a new outfit that we bought at Babies R Us when the five of us (including Grandma & Grandad) went there last week.

Click the image for a larger version [21 May 2004, age ] I'm a big girl now: I can sit up all by myself! I can sit for 10 minutes at a time, maybe more. I like sitting up!

Click the image for a larger version [20 May 2004, age ] I'm at Duke University to participate in their Infant Cognition study. Here's me with Winnie the Pooh as Mummy and I wait for our appointment.

Click the image for a larger version [16 May 2004, age ] Grandma and Grandad are all packed up and ready to go home after spending a lovely week here with me. Here's the five of us. Who took the photo, you ask? Ah, magic!

Click the image for a larger version [16 May 2004, age ] Me and my Grandma and Grandad Watts. Lovely!

Click the image for a larger version [16 May 2004, age ] This is such a cool toy. Its a toy aquarium that the Parks family gave me - Andy, Sylvia, Laura, Maddy, Delia and Darryl. There are four fish in it that I can tip out and put back in. Lots of fun!

Click the image for a larger version [16 May 2004, age ] Here's me and my Grandad, playing on their bed. I'm playing with my aquarium that the Parks family gave me.

Click the image for a larger version [15 May 2004, age ] My new jumper. It hangs from a doorway and has a spring at the top of it. I can sit in it and my feet touch the floor. I can bounce around in it have lots and lots of fun. See a movie of my action.

Click the image for a larger version [15 May 2004, age ] My play yard has three elephants hanging down. I can reach them, but its quite an effort. Ok, one down, two to go!

Click the image for a larger version [14 May 2004, age ] See: I'm a big girl now! I can hold up my own bottle now. Well, sort of - the tray of my high chair is helping too.

Click the image for a larger version [14 May 2004, age ] The doctor says I can now have meat, so here's my first Chicken dinner! And I like it a lot too - you can tell because I say "mmmm" after each mouthful! (734KB movie) See what I mean!

Click the image for a larger version [13 May 2004, age ] This is where I get it from! Dad and me at Caribou Coffee.

Click the image for a larger version [12 May 2004, age ] At the end of the day I have my ritual: the four Bs: bath, book, bottle, and bed. I've had my bath and today Grandma's going to read me a story ("Mr Brown can Moo, Can you?"). I like to help turn the pages.

Click the image for a larger version [12 May 2004, age ] Me and my Mummy! Nice!

Click the image for a larger version [12 May 2004, age ] Grandad and Dad are out in the garden planting some flowers that Mummy, Grandma and Gerrie purchased yesterday. So I'm out supervising their work - someone has watch over grounds staff to ensure they do a proper job!

Click the image for a larger version [12 May 2004, age ] I've got a new sound! Could it be talking - "Da da"?? You be the judge! Check out my sounds: movie1 (2.4 MB) and movie2 (5 MB).

Click the image for a larger version [10 May 2004, age ] It's late in the day. I've had my bath, and am just about to have a bottle before going to bed. I'm sitting here in Daddy's lap while waiting for the bottle to be nice and warm for drinking. I like to play with tissues - tearing them up and dropping them on the floor. After my bottle, its off to bed - I usually fall alseep quite quickly.

Click the image for a larger version [10 May 2004, age ] Amanda fed me a French chocolate truffle. Alas much of it didn't make it into my mouth. Tasted good but!

Click the image for a larger version [10 May 2004, age ] My Grandma! (Grandma Watts, that is)

Click the image for a larger version [10 May 2004, age ] Amanda Kouri (who's my Godmother) and me. Lovely! The Kouris are over for lunch for Mother's Day.

Click the image for a larger version [10 May 2004, age ] Amanda is feeding me some vegetables - carrots to be precise. As usual I've got it all over my face!

Click the image for a larger version [09 May 2004, age ] It's Mother's Day today, and we have the Kouris over for lunch. Here's the lovely Amanda with me. She's my godmother, you know.

Click the image for a larger version [06 May 2004, age ] So here's 6-7 weeks of formula for me to drink. Each box contains six 32 oz (approx 1 litre) bottles. I typically drink about 7 oz (about 210 ml) when I'm just having milk, or 3-4 with my vegetables or fruit. My staff buy it in bulk from the local BJ's warehouse club.

Click the image for a larger version [02 May 2004, age ] I like to sleep on my side now. Not all night, but I start out that way.

Click the image for a larger version [02 May 2004, age ] Do you like this elegant high-neck top? Mummy bought it for me.

Click the image for a larger version [02 May 2004, age ] This is my new play yard. It has a top bassinet part (I'm lying in it now) but I can only be in that for a few more weeks - after that, I'll be too big. At that point, the mat goes to the bottom and I can sleep and play in it (and one day, stand up in it!)

Click the image for a larger version [01 May 2004, age ] My new trick: rolling over. Here are photos from the action - before and after. Unfortunately my videographer was unable to get his act together to make a movie of the event. I start by rolling on to my side. I can do that now, and often go to sleep lying like that! Then I kick my top leg over as shown in the photo. The trick is then to get my top arm over too. However with a bit of a twist, I'm over! I also managed to roll back again, but I'm not sure yet how I did that!

Click the image for a larger version [01 May 2004, age ] Its time for a new nappy and to get changed into some daytime clothes. So off with everything. What's this? A bit of tummy time beforehand? OK. Hey - no pictures!
