ankle biter

My view most of the day.  So we’re at that stage HK –you are literally always at my ankle and biting me! Occasionally annoying but mostly just really cute.  Not sure what to do about the biting - "ouch that hurts mummy" just gets a laugh from you.  Hummm might need to toughen up a bit there MK.

Hey little HK - you've just enjoyed your first weekend away.  You stayed in your first hotel and stayed with your first baby sitter!  But most of the time you just enjoyed having both MK and DK around to give you attention.  We visited the very pretty country town of Kynton.  DK went fishing, MK when antiquing and you laughed out loud when seeing your first sheep.  Above we are visiting the organic farm hoping to show you some pigs ... no luck though it was too cold and they stayed in bed!  I think they would have given you a laugh too - either that or you'd yell at them to get "OUT" as you seem to do to all animals you see at the moment.  I can't imagine where you picked that up....

little chicken legs

Another rewind... this was you a year ago today little HK.  Loving those skinny little legs.

always my baby

Things are changing so fast with you little HK.  This last month you turned one, weaned yourself, started to chat chat chat and I can see that walking is only moments away.  Life is flying by in a rush.  In this photo you were just moments old.  Can't you stay a baby just a little bit longer?

who's that there...

In joint celebration of mother's day and your first birthday tomorrow we took you for your first trip to the zoo.  You now 'roof roof' as your means of communicating with all non humans.  And there were some pretty funny looking dogs at the zoo today.  Certainly a much more relaxing way to spend the day than the 22 hours of labour that was my first mother's day... a year ago today.
