Sculpture by the sea (part 1)

What a beautiful day we had to walk from

Clovelly (where we parked the car)

To Bondi beach

where we had our pic nic lunch.

The skull was made with the bottoms
of plastic bottles.

this house was entirely made of pallets.

This is the famous statue of the lost child.

someone objected to his nudity,

so they put a swimsuit on...

but today he was back in his

birthday suit.

me behind the rainbow.

the sail turn in the wind

a soy sauce bottle for suchi

diving gears in barrels.

I guess you had to think of it!

The statues are all along the coastline

from Bondi to Tamarama

more to come in part 2

Noisy child

Amelia has a new game, a noisy game, very funny

Musical caterpillar

The caterpillar has different settings.

That one was playing different children tune

for each leg

The antennas light up

They need a bit of a chew.....

Press the top bit and it
is the alphabet song

of course the string need a bit

of a chew too.....

and the spade.

Barrels

Today I showed Amelia how to open

and put together the barrels.

She did it straight away.

Also I was stacking them up,

And with a wicked laugh

she destroyed my tower.

(got her building blocks for Christmas)

This deck is like a large playpen.

But we need a door at the stairs....

She still don't let go once up

Ethan birthday balloon

Jo said that she has 2 more teeth through,

but she did not let me see them.

Everything today went into her mouth.

I attached it to the wind chine.

She jiggle the balloon to make the noise.

And of course it goes in the mouth too

washing up

She is using the sifter like a cup!...

She was talking very loudly to me
while I was washing her bottles,
so I gave her the brush.....

Sunday morning in Dee Why

We started with breakfast on the beach

At the Deck.

Last night we baby sat Amelia.

Jo and Shane went to a quiz / disco night

Visit to KU Children Services

Friday 23 October 2009

I took Amelia to my old place of work

to see my friends on the staff.

I put Amelia on those blocks

and a little boy, Thomas came to me

"excuse me but you put your baby on our path,

and we can't go around, could you move her?"

She was very interested with all around her

they even had a basket of dolly pegs
( I got some somewhere in the laundry,
I will have to look for them...)


In the staff room, straight to the box of tissues.
I was not going to post this photo, but
we can see that she has quite a lot
of hairs and it is red!


She fall asleep in the stroller and just woke up.
a very short sleep.

with grandpa admiring the view,

lots of big sailing ships, must be competition.

having a chat with grand' dad

A hot wednesday

FRIDAY THE 21 OCTOBER TURNED OUT TO BE VERY HOT.
I put a basin of water for
Amelia to play
At first she was not to sure.
I had to splash her.....
Isn't she cute?
Wearing her daddy's swimsuit.

Splash, splash

She loves books

hard to turn the pages
