My Cuz LJ and I playing in Perth

Big Cuz Shae watched over us and she was the referee. I like this game!!


Aunty Ally bought us cheese sandwiches at the shopping centre afterwards for lunch.

Yaaahhhh playtime

Look what I got for my birthday!!!!!!!


its so much fun to play in my own backyard...and the pretty colours!!! But watching Daddy get stuck in the tunnel was the best bit... :)

Billy * the cake lover * Bellenger

Billys Gorgeous yummy cake by Lizzle
After a photo shoot with Lanne who had done some great photos with Billy and a birthday cake we made the assumption that Billy wasn't too interested in junk food and certainly not in touching the yukky creamy stuff (YUM!!!!) that is a cake!
So we weren't quick enough when trying to get some shots of Billy sitting in front of his beautiful, gourmet made-with-love chocolate cake from Lizzle.


We quickly had to save the cake and wash Billy's clothes as well...he was mighty upset when Sam blew out his candle thinking Billy couldn't handle it himself!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BILLY

Billy turned 1 on Thursday and we have had a week of fun times and happy laughter. Poor Billy has no idea what is going on but he has been allowed to eat chocolate custard, attack a birthday cake, rip the paper on the presents and do lots of things he would usually get in trouble for!

Here are some shots of during the past few days:

I LOVED TO OPEN MY NANS PRESENTS, IT WAS FUN TO RIP THE PAPER

I GOT WORRIED THINKING ABOUT THE WORRY DOLLS GRANDMA BOUGHT ME..

AUNTY ALLY BOUGHT ME A BALLOON FOR MY BIRTHDAY..IT WAS BIG AND BLUE AND I BIT IT HARD!!!

IM A BIG BOY NOW SO I CAN CRAWL UP THE STAIRS BY MYSELF

....I LIKE IT WHEN DADDY MEETS ME AT THE TOP THOUGH

Just Practising....

It was Sam's 19th Birthday and we had a big party. I got to play lots of fun games with the balloons and wear a party hat. Everyone got a party bag full of lollies...except me! Mummy said I am too too little for junk food. Daddy snuck me some!

Billys October Update

I have this new game I like to play in the bath……




Eat this!


Mummy makes me open my mouth to show her if I have any other toys jammed in there….



Even Jordie gets me to show her my tongue when she thinks I have eaten her mobile phone again!!!

Happy Birthday Aunty Tess xxx

Aunty Tesso’s big birthday!!!

There was almost 50 of us out to dinner for the big 50th Celebrations. It was Hawaiian theme….so daddy and I went dressed the same in our Darwin shirts.


The next day I thought mummy wouldn’t mind what I did but she kept getting grumpy at me…I was just trying to help put everything in the bin for her!

RAAF Annual Air Show

It was great! It was loud and scary! It was Hot! and we had heaps of fun!!! I gave my daddy lots of big cuddles when the planes went really close and were especially loud.......

Guess What my Daddy Brought Me???

Mummy said it is just like LJs!!!!!

I am not sure how to push it along though.....

Is this how you are supposed to climb on like the bike????

I didn't get out for a run yesterday....

But I did get to go for a bike ride..

Daddy and Jordan watched us ride around the block and hear Billy squealing with laughter. I think I need some more time on the bike before I can pull us both up the hills around here...but it was fun and a great way to pick him up from daycare.

Photos...and more photos

I got a cheap camera and have been having fun taking photos...it was so terrible not having one for so long.

I can only blame myself

Billy is falling into the habit of waking up early..because from time to time I need to wake him up at 4am so he can come running with me when Allan is away.

Unfortunately this is starting to cause his whole routine to be out of whack.

...but at least he is still cute so I tend to forgive him everything. I think he wakes up in case I go without him because he doesn't want to miss out on 100 people feeding him watermelon!!!!



I hope to put up some photos tonight..we went to Harvey Normans and got a cheap $100 camera. It is pretty damn good and I think extremely good value for money. I know I won't fuss about if it gets a bit knocked around in the baby bag either - though I don't want to go through not having one every again. I felt so isolated from my e-life!!!

Billy - cutest runner in Queensland

Took Billy out for a run this morning. After being laid up with a virus for the past two weeks it was great to get out for a jog...even though it nearly killed me :)


Here he is doing his stretches afterwards....my Coach said he was doing his Wrist Exercises!

Learning New Things

BILLY WAVING TO HIS NAN AND POP

Billy is learning new things as he approaches his 11th Month.

He is able to wave goodbye when I drop him off (and goodbye to Jolly when I pick him up).

He is also able to stick his fingers in any powerpoint that looks dangerous or push shut any drawer / door that is likely to catch his fingers. Our house is now semi-childproof which means we can no longer freely open anything..as Allan has installed catches/locks etc to keep Billy out. Needless to say I try to keep as much stuff as I can on the kitchen bench now...to avoid the pain of trying to open a cupboard!!!

Billy is walking around a bit whilst holding onto furniture. He is very strong on his feet and at a whopping 13kg is as big as they come (excluding our very own Cousin Dante heh heh). His belly is still hanging out of his nappy and clothes and causes him to overbalance at times...but he is adjusting rather than watching what he eats.

Billy in Ballina

How cool is my beautiful boy with his sunnies on in Ballina...now the hard task of getting him to keep wearing them and NOT eating them!

Bedtime

This is why I can't sleep much....because Billy takes up all the bed!!!

No pretty pictures...

Despite you all thinking us Queenslanders are just slacking off...it is the camera that is slacking off. It has finally died and with no replacement we are unable to take any pretty pictures.

I have a few from the mobile that I will try to upload shortly.


So until we invest in a camera....not much here to see :(

Nothing exciting happening

BILLY AND I WATCHING THE WIGGLES

....we are all just chilling here.

Getting excited about the next few months. We have taken a leaf out of Grandma Gem and Grandad Bills book and decided to travel around the country...well some of us anyhow.

I am off to Gold Coast today...then Adelaide for a few days work (went to Melbourne last month)...then Perth for the wedding...then Jordie is up to Darwin to hang with Nan and Shae..so now is the quiet period.

Billy loves nothing more than to sit at the computer and watch the wiggles. Hence I have to do the blog updates when he is in bed/at school or I have to suffer through an hour of Wiggle play :)

SuperBaby

Playing with Daddy in bed....

Weekend Chores

Mummy was cleaning the verandah....I was cleaning the glass doors for her.....dont they look shiny..tastes good too!!!
