Busy week

I have had a very busy week this week. I've been learning all sorts of new tricks. Now that I can crawl, I am getting into so much mischief! This week I have learned to sit up and get back down all by myself (there's been a few crashes), and I can pull myself up onto my feet on the furniture but then I lose my balance and crash. Sometimes Mum catches me but sometimes I bump my head and it hurts :( And yesterday, I got my first tooth! I've been trying it out on Mum's shoulder but she jumps and says "ouch, don't bite Mummy, Georgie". Mum said she will try to take a photo of my tooth and put it on here so everyone can see it, but here is a photo of me standing up all by myself.

And here it is! My very first tooth......

My new tractor

I got a new tractor and Dad is not allowed near it! I love steering it and playing with the levers. Mum says I'll be allowed to play with it in the sandpit when I'm bigger, but I'm not big enough yet.

Cousin Charlie

This weekend, my cousin Charlie came to visit me. He is 10 weeks old now and smiling at me lots. His Mum, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa also came down and we had a fun weekend.

Holiday with Granny and Pa

On Saturday we drove all the way up to Christchurch and then flew to Wellington on a big plane. We then had to drive another 4.5 hours to get to Granny and Pa's house in the Hawkes Bay. The whole trip took us 11 hours but I was such a good girl and had some naps in the car. Granny and Pa were so pleased to see me and said that I was a big girl now :)

On Sunday, Aunty Bel and Uncle Rog came over for lunch with cousins Ella and Libby. We had great fun playing in the bath together.

On Monday, Dad had to work in the woolshed, crutching sheep and lambs. Mum and I helped some of the time between my naps. In the afternoon, Granny took me for a nice long walk in the buggy.

And then on Tuesday, all too soon, it was time to leave. I was really tired by the time we got on the plane but luckily I fell asleep on Mum for some of the time. I had a good holiday in the North Island :)

I can crawl!

After lots of encouragement from Nana, Grandad, Mum and Dad and a strict strength and conditioning programme from Uncle Ryan, I can now crawl! I love to chase Meisha the cat around and pull her fur. Luckily she is very patient and doesn't bite me.

Dad burns tractor down

Dad isn't very happy today :( He was taking Grandad's tractor up to the other farm when he saw smoke coming out if it. He tried to stop it but it burst into flames. Nana and Uncle Ryan raced down the road to where he was with a fire extinguisher but that still wouldn't put it out and it burned it all down. Poor Dad was upset but it wasn't his fault because some naughty birds had got into the motor and built their nest in there.
