Sometimes I like to take my bike for a spin around the house...

On a good day I find a cool chick (Mum) to hang out with!

While I love playcare and jam packed weekends, sometimes you just have to get away and unwind. By August, we were ready for a true family holiday. Dad kept on mumbling about how he hadn't had any time off since Oct 2007 when he was trying to teach me to drink from the bottle. (We all loved visiting Kota Kinabalu, but Dad ended up working pretty much all week.)

We were planning to go to Queensland, but our flights fell through, so we booked a last minute special to the Radisson Resort, Denarau Island, Fiji instead!

We'd go to the park to play and enjoy the heat...

Then get dressed for the pool...

After swimming, we'd head into town for dinner, autograph signing and night dancing...

Mum and Dad think this was the perfect holiday routine of swimming, sleeping and eating too much. It was good, but if it were up to me, we'd be backpacking...

Sometimes, even at breakfast, you just know that it's going to be a messy day.

The opening ceremony was full of colour and movement. The events featured exceptional performances and high drama. The village was filled with food, drink and social events. The taste of gold was sweet.

Apparently there was also something happening in Beijing?

* Mum still can't give me pig tails. She bought me some cool sparkly clips but unfortunately they just fall out. One day I will have enough hair to wear them.....
* My favourite food is watermelon.
* I've got too much to do to snuggle in in the mornings anymore. Mum is devastated!
* I am back to being a good sleeper.
* Mum can't count when it comes to teeth! I have sixteen - the front 8, 4 double teeth and the four corner (canine?) teeth. I can eat pretty much anything now!
* I love the Wiggles, bags, music and slippery dips.
* I can put the balls in piles of colours. Particularly the blue ones - I love a bag full of the blue balls.
* I am a good helper. I help put things on the table for dinner and I help rub in the baby powder and paw paw cream. I like to help with my shoes and socks but I am better at taking them off than I am at putting them on - I am working on it though :)
* My words are getting better every day - including mum, dad, more, ta, up, ball, bot bot (bottle), bath, wall (dad taught me this important one). He was also trying to teach me socks - but that is a hard one!
