Norfolk



Here's Mommy having a tea break and a quiet moment to herself!

I can just peek out and see what Norfolk has to offer.

On Daddy's shoulders and taking in the beautiful view from our holiday home.

Here I am walking through what I called "swishy, swashy" grass (from Going on a Bearhunt). (Mommy later told me it was wheat)

I loved going on walks.

Wimbledon's next British champion?!

I'm not frightened of chickens--but is Daddy?

I loved playing with sand.

This is the first windmill I've ever seen up close---when I saw it, I said it was like the one on the island of Sodor (from Thomas the Tank Engine),

Here I am with Mommy on Salthouse Beach---I wouldn't get any closer to the sea the first time.

My first ice cream--ever!


Sitting on rocks--and trying really hard not to eat them!

Smiling for the camera between sucks.

Getting up close and trying to figure out what the camera is all about.

I'm about to board my first train!

I'm so chuffed--on a train at last! A real steam engine!

Our bedroom--where Mommy, Daddy, Grace and I all slept!

Brother and sister making each other smile.

Here we are smiling at something Daddy is doing behind the camera

When is Mommy going to stop singing songs from Oklahoma!

Proud of my sandcastle.

I loved the pinwheel!

Kite flying was not a hit!  I can't getting upset as my kite didn't go as high up as I'd like!

Grace and I always had tons of things to play with.

I (Liam) said that the chair next to me was "Grandma's chair."

Daddy's Birthday

On Daddy's birthday, we were excited to see a hot balloon pass by with a happy birthday sign on it--what perfect timing!
 

Grace says, "Let me eat that card!"
Both children mesmerised by the candle.
Liam: "Cake! Cake!  Can't wait to eat cake!"
Grace: "Too bad I can't taste it!"

Grace is 8 Months Old!


New Things I Can Do:  I can now roll over from my back to my tummy--but only when I want to!  I can now bounce up and down on my legs when held--that's why I'm loving the jumperoo and my dj toy at the moment!  I now only have 2 naps during the day but I sleep from 7pm to 7 am.   I talk a lot--a do some "ba..ba..." sounds.  I no longer mind playing on my tummy and I love hitting musical balls and cubes around.  Everything goes in my mouth--including my toes!  I sit up by myself now so I can eat in almost any kind of highchair. I really interact now with Liam---he makes me laugh so much! 

My Favourite Books:  The Big Night Night Book, Dr. Seuss' The Places You'll Go--but I much prefer eating books to reading them!

My Friends:  Molly --and a whole bunch of 2 year olds!

Funny Things I Do: I'm smiling and laughing all the time during baths.  I go wild trying to get hold of things--playing with my curtain and muslins!  I'm also always moving in my highchair--never looking at the person who is feeding me and shaking my head "dancing" side to side. I love playing outside and trying to "get" Liam.  

Foods I Like:  I like everything!  In fact, I've gained almost a kg in a month!

Foods I Dislike:  There hasn't really been anything I've disliked yet!  I eat everything and can't get enough!   However, I pulled very silly faces when I ate raspberries for the first time.  I'm not too fond feeding myself--and prefer to be fed by someone with a spoon!
