I have SO much news to tell you about my week and a half in Kiwiland. I have had MANY firsts this week:
3 Months + 2 Weeks FIRSTS:
- First time I have sat all by myself - for minutes at a time! (see photos)
- First time I have held my bottle by myself, it doesn't last long but I am getting better.
- First time I have grabbed an object by myself (on purpose) - a spoon to be precise, thanks Aunty Marie Anne for my new spoon!
- And I have started rubbing my eyes when I am feeling sleepy, and boy do I look cute!
Can you believe all this has happened in ONE week!? It must be my Kiwi genes sky rocketing!
Here are the much promised photos from our trip, they aren't in order but I have written a description underneath.
Can't wait to see my Melbourne whanau in a few days. Kia Kaha!
This is Mama and me boating out to the Sounds - First small boat ride!
Sitting, one of the many times... a bit ape like but I'm still sitting!!!
First time sitting!!!
Me and my Great Grandad James Robertson
Me and my crazy GREAT uncle Stew (note the All Blacks flag, he wont talk to me if I support the Aussies!)
Me and Mama in Timaru - the home of Phar Lap - a Kiwi icon (along with Pavlova, Crowded House, Lamingtons etc...)
Mama and me with our Kiwi flags, Nanny K bought Mama a big one and me a mini one, thanks Nanny K!
On the streets of Christchurch
On the ferry on the way to Picton, I was such a good boy. Just sat there watching the other kids play, I'll be a big boy running around with the other kids soon.
Bath time! Nanny K put too much soap in and gave me a Mohawk.
Us before we depart, look at all the luggage!
In the Sounds, was such a beautiful day.

Great photos guys!! I'm loving Leo holding on to the NZ flag. H'es really showing off his roots
ReplyDeleteHe's had a HUGE adventure. Next time he's in the sounds he can fish off the jetty
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great time in NZ Leo! I'm very jealous, but it looks a tad cold brrrr. I was in Mallorca until yesterday - it got up to 40 degrees!
