Rose has started a bad habit. Whenever you sit down to have some food, or pour yourself a drink, little Rose materialises from nowhere and starts begging.
It’s all our fault; we got into the habit of giving her bits of our food when we’re eating out in cafes. I’ve also got into the habit of [...]

An annoying habit

Holding on, standing up, and making yourself known

Rose has starting hugging. Fiercely. We’d noticed for the last few weeks that whenever you give her a toy, she’d hug it, hold it up to her face and smile. Today when I got her out of bed she wrapped her arms around me really tight, and I could feel her really leaning in. It [...]
It sucks being at work…

Dou-
Posted in Talking on March 26, 2008 | No Comments »
In New Zealand Rose was pretty reliably saying, “Dou-” every time she saw a dog. One day Granny Anne, Chris and I were out for a walk and saw two dogs - one very small one and one very large one - and she said “Dou-” both times.
This afternoon Chris took Rose on a walk, [...]
The keys to her heart

On the last day we were in New Zealand my Dad came over with a special gift for Rose. He’d noticed that she loves playing with key rings. She loves carrying them around, jingling them, and examining each and every key on the ring. So Dad went to a local key shop and asked them [...]
It’s good to be home

Yesterday’s flight was a lot better than the previous one. Rose had a long sleep in the morning before we left, and consequently, she coped a lot better on the flight. A woman sitting next to us volunteered to move seats, and we gratefully accepted her offer so that we would have more space. The [...]
On grass

One of the great pleasures about staying with Rose’s Granny Anne and Pap is the use of their magnificent back yard. Rose has been out and about in it every day. She loves crawling around in circles on the grass, inspecting dried leaves and dead flowers, finding and chewing acorns, and surprisingly best of all, crawling [...]
Phew!

We had a great day, and none more than the littlest party girl. She loved the balloons, she loved playing with family and friends, and she loved all the presents! She was really happy all day and laughed a lot. You can see for yourself - I’ve uploaded a bunch of photos to our online [...]
Babysitters galore!
Posted in Babysitting, Family, Holidays on March 21, 2008 | No Comments »
We’ve been rushing around today, cooking and cleaning, getting everything ready for Rose’s birthday party tomorrow. The cake’s been baked, the house has been tidied, the laundry’s been done, the food’s been ordered. Rose seems pretty oblivious to all the preparations, and I’m sure she’ll be surprised when the party decorations and balloons come out, [...]
Visit with Great Nana
Posted in Family, Holidays on March 19, 2008 | 1 Comment »
We took Rose to visit her Great Nana yesterday. She had a lot of fun doing laps of Nana’s apartment, pulling the curtains, trying to find and utilise her remote controls, and terrorising her neighbours. Rose is definitely much less sedate than she used to be; last time we visited Nana — in June last year — [...]
