First Day at Childcare!

I'm oh so independent now. Today I had orientation at Childcare. Mama took me in for an hour to play with the other kids. I had the best time. When all the mama's left their babies in the room the other babies started crying, but I didn't, I'm a big boy! Actually I was having so much fun I didn't even notice she was gone. I can't wait to go back for more orientation on Thursday!

Weeeoooooo I'm turning ONE !!!

Peekaboo! It's my birthday on Tuesday and I'm beyond excited! I'm finally getting a real digit as an age! Mama said it doesn't allow me to do anything legally yet but that's ok, Dadda already gave me my first beer at 7 months. I have a couple of new tricks to add to my CV this week, see the video below cos I can clap my hands! Oh Grandma, aren't you proud? Also, I know where my nose is, now Ma and Pa are trying to teach me where my ears are (don't tell them but I already know, I think they look so goofy trying to teach me)...

Clapping my hands:

Also, tomorrow I have 'orientation' at the the childcare centre in Northcote. Check back to see my photos of my new hangout! Dadda is nervous for me being left at the childcare with strangers but that's just silly, I way rather be smiling at strangers than hanging at home!!

Check back soon for my birthday snaps!!!

私は日本を愛して

I hope all my friends in Japan are ok. I made so many great pals in Japan who were so great, I hope everyone is ok. Mama and I had the bestest time there and can't wait to go back!

This is just a short post to let Japan know we are thinking of you, I have so many great Japan memories... here's some of my pics of my Japanese fun times...

Love Leo Kun

Please keep us informed Aunty Andy of how everyone is, tell them Kawaii baby is thinking of them.

Ode to Christchurch...

Dear Leo Blog Followers,

How sad this past week has been... my poor country (from my mums side) has been shaken like a Protein Cream milkshake (NZ lingo). I'm so sad to see poor New Zealand suffering like this, and then Australia had the audacity to kick us while we were down in the cricket as well.

As you know I am turning ONE in three weeks... I know some of you might think of buying me a present. Because my Mama and Dadda spoil me rotten I really can't think of anything I need more than Christchurch getting back on their feet. Instead of buying me a present I would love you to use that money to donate to the fund here.

Back to me though, I have had an eventful week too. The day the quake shook I woke up with lumps and bumps all over my body, after all my mums mocking of Dadda's crappy genes it was Mama that gave me urticaria. My aunty Andy has it and so does Muzza. Apparently I am too a lumpy bumpy boy, I hope it never comes back but I fear it will.

So here are the latest pictures of me, soon to be BIG boy Leo!

Lumps (bring back memories Andysan?)

LEO'S HOME VIDEOS!!!

HEY ALL!!

Thank you for being so patient in waiting for my videos to be uploaded. Tonight mama found out how to download them all by herself, no help from Dadda. Mama's real proud.

So please click on the following Youtube videos one by one, they are in order so NO cheating (Aunty Beej).

There are new snaps to upload too, but I'm keeping them for next time. I don't want to be responsible for anyone getting Leorosis (too much Leo goodness).

Thanks for watching my vids. Be sure to comment on my adventures!

News from me: Ma and Pa took me to not one but three parties on Saturday, I had the bestest day ever. I love going to parties!

ALSO- Happy birthday to my mate Atti, he turned one on Friday!

Love Leo Samuel

Message to Aunty Andysan: Yes I do have a disney Mickey Mouse. We're not speaking right now though, he ate my cheese sandwich and did wees on my foot. I think he's evil.

WALKING BOY!

As most of you know I am officially now a walking boy! As of Friday 5th February 2011 - only 10 months old! Dadda starting walking when he was only 9 months old... I could have started walking when I was 8 months but I didn't want to take the limelight from poor Dadda. It's his proudest moment and he's never been advanced since!

Unfortunately though we still haven't managed to get the footage off the camera to show you. Dadda has been hard at work every night so he hasn't had time. Tomorrow night he said he will work it out though, so please check back tonight!

Just to keep you in suspense I have uploaded some unseen photos for you to see!

No other news to share with you... Mama is still working at Homegreen so I'm with Grandma two days a week and Anna as well. Grandma took me to the the pub all day Wednesday while she played on the pokies. Naughty Grandma. Ha, just kidding, see you tomorrow G-Ma!
