Casey's Birthday In Rotorua

On Friday we went down to Rotorua for Casey's birthday on Sunday. We stopped in to work as usual to catch up with everyone on the way to Brett and Michelle's. Lilli's new words were Ces, Toot, Charlie, bed, Josh, boing (on the trampoline), and Day (Kayla).

Breakfast before the big trip. :)

Check out that hair!!! Hahaha. After rolling around on the tramp it was standing on end!!

Ohh, cute. Wearing Josh's hat.

Lilli with Casey and Kayla at the airport in Rotorua. We went with Uncle Ces to pick up Poppa and Trish when they came in from their 3 month stint in Aussie.

This is the bouncy castle and slides that were set up for Casey's birthday!! It was so huge and fun looking that we adults had to have a go to! 5 metres high with a bouncy castle and climbing wall in the back. You could either go up the middle at the front to slide or climb up the climbing wall. Very cool! It got delivered on Saturday so we all had a good play that evening and then the next day all Casey's mates came round for her party.

First slide on Saturday with Kayla holding on to her.

Yee haa! Let's do that again!

By the end of the day she was going down by herself.

Eating her first Calippo on the tramp on Sunday at Case's party.

Jack and Josh came back up to Auckland with Lilli and I for a couple of days. Lilli was so stoked to have her favourites come home with her. Relaxing with Jack on her beanbag when we got home.

Cheese!

At Kariotahi beach with the boys.

Relaxing with, or should I say on Josh on Tuesday after we got back from the beach.

Ohhhh, big cuddles. Lilli just adores her cousins!!

A Few Days In Rotorua For Casey's Birthday

Yesterday morning Lilli went into my cupboard of precious plates and glasses again. I usually growl her but I just didn't have the heart when I saw what she had done...

Isn't that so cute?! She set up a little picnic with her plastic plate, my small expresso saucer, and her plate of food. The espresso saucer matches the cups that have cute cows on them and she just loves them! They are the reason that she keeps going in to the cupboard. Honestly it doesn't matter how often I tell her not to or how I tell her, she just keeps going in there. I have decided to put a box of books in front of it now that she is physically unable to move! Hahaha. Little monkey!

Tomorrow we are going down to Rotorua for the weekend. It's Casey's birthday on Sunday and we are going down mainly for that. It's going to be a busy weekend so I doubt that I will catch up with any of my mates though I did text to say I would be around for a couple of days so who knows.

I love this outfit. :)

Where Is The Wo Wo???

Well it's been a big week word wise. I think from now on in Lilli is going to be coming out with a few new words each day. :)

On Wednesday Lilli turned 19 months old and she opened a door by herself!! Uh oh, that's scary aye! Then when we were out at Nana and Pops place she went and sat in Pops seat and said 'Pops' seat'. Ohhh. What a sweetie. That night when she did wees on her 'toilet' before our shower she said toilet. Clever girl!

19 months old today.

So gorgeous.

Thursday morning I took three different types of cereal to her so that she could choose which one she wanted for breakfast and she chose the one she wanted and said 'this'. Then when I had it ready and asked if she was ready for breakfast she went and got up into her highchair by herself!!

Remember the new climbing place?? Doesn't she look angelic? Hmmm. How do I get her to stop climbing up there?!!!

Friday's words were:

Bite

Bite the boob - I think it's fairly obvious what brought these new words about!! Ouch. :(

Saturday she picked up the phone at Nana's and said 'Hi Nana Dot'.

Sunday's words:

Wees - when she did wees on her toilet

Chair

Hay - when we went down to feed Spotty the moo at Nana's.

Miaow - imitating the cat!

Wearing Pops' gumboots. On Monday she called her wee lamb by name. She actually said his name properly - Len-ny. Another new word today was reach.

My clean little girl mopping the flour in Nana's laundry. Where'd you go Lenny??? No Lenny, there's nothing in there for you. Let's pick those blossoms. Look Mama, a plane! The top finish to the last week was today when we went to gym and Nana came so that she could take some photos for me. Here are the photos and a couple of videos. On the beam. Her favourite things are the beam, the bar, and the trampoline.

She had to jump from the big blue mat onto the tramp and then to the landing mat...

Doing the obstacle course...

Some of the stuff is quite high as you can see. Doesn't phase our Lilli though - she's fearless!! :)

And last but not least, this afternoon Lilli asked me 'where is the wo wo?'. :D I am so proud of her. She's my amazing little angel.

Today Lilli Started Gymnastics

This morning I was talking with Nana on the phone about gymnastics and Lilli wanted to talk so I handed her the phone and off she went to get comfortable on her couch and chat. :D

Taking an entertainment break while I was trying to get her dressed she decided she wanted to wear Mama's ugboots.

After Lilli and I were ready to go we went to Nana's to pick her up and headed in to gymnastics at Pukekohe. When we were leaving Nana said to Lilli we were going to gym to see the kids and Lilli said 'see the kids'. Gym is so cute. When it was time to warm up the instructor said to the kids that they were to run in a circle and Lilli took off flat tack and was saying 'run! run!'. Haha. I even had to jog to keep up to her. She was running so fast that her little legs couldn't keep up! Haha. Then we did a couple of other things for warm up and went through to the main gym where a whole lot of activities were set up. Lilli did really well. She loved the trampoline, beam, and bar the most I think. Just like Mama!. The only bugger was that I left the camera in the car! Will have to get some photos next time.

Other words today were Steve and book.
