First haircut

How do you like my new haircut???? Mummy cut it herself under the guidance of big sister Sophie (who apparantly knows about cutting hair!!!) She tried to keep my gorgeous curls at the back but I basically got an all over trim. I feel so "grown up", not a baby anymore thats for sure. Now I am a big boy!! Here are some photos from different angles.......

Now for the really big news........the moment you have long been waiting.......there IS a reason why I wake so many times in the night, the doctors have finally figured it out......I have something called "Obstructive Sleep Disorder" and am going to need a little operation to fix it. The doctor says my tonsils and adenoids are as big as an adults...(just like my brain I say, ha ha) and he is surprised I am even able to swallow my food!!!!!! See, Mummy knew there would be a reason!!!!! She is a little disappointed that it has taken this long for them to figure it out and realise she isn't making it up that I wake some nights hourly!!!! So I am getting the adenoids taken out and I also have to get little tubes put in my ears to drain the huge amounts of fluid that keeps gathering in there and then I should be good to go. My operation is next Friday and then hopefully after that I will start "sleeping like a baby"!!!!!

Anyway, look at me, still as cute as ever wouldn't you say!

The Circus is in Town!!

It's been so long since I have updated you all. I am so sorry. As the grown ups always say..."Time flies"!!! (What does that actually mean??) So going waaaaaayyyyy back to a few weeks ago........Mummy went away for 5 whole days on a plane to Melbourne for a Conference for her work and Luc and I were left in the good care of Daddy with the extra help from Nanny and Grandpa. We missed Mummy a lot but we had loads of fun with daddy and taught him lots of things.......like, "the importance of wearing matching hair clips" and "ice cream is ok for breakfast"!!! (Actually it was more like morning tea). I think Daddy was very happy when Mummy came back to take over the job of "Chief House Controller"!!!

Then we had Nanny's birthday party. Nanny was "70" and everyone thought that that was a big number, but I said it can't be that big of a number as I know how to count to that much!!!!! As always my help was invaluable with the opening or her presents and blowing out candles on her cake (I even have an assistant, cousin Jack)....not to mention eating the cake. I am just so good at helping out where needed and my speciality really is birthday parties. I just can't wait for my own which is in aprroximately 60 days in case I haven't mentioned it before!!!!

Then last Friday night Daddy took me to the Circus for the first time ever. I loved it and stayed up really late to watch the end. The circus is right down the bottom of our street and you can see it from our front yard so it is very exciting to have a circus so close to our house. Nanny is taking Jack and I again today because the Circus is here for a whole month....I am so lucky!

Luc couldn't come to the Circus with us because he needed to go to bed and Mummy said, "Luc would be a nightmare" at the circus. He doesn't know how to sit still for a long time yet and he still hasn't learnt how to do as he is told AND he likes to run away a lot....... but that is ok as he is only an almost 2 year old and that can be expected at that age!!!

This is me, Nanny and Jack about to walk to the Circus. We are out the front of our house....can you see the "big tent" in the background through the trees!!! Luc and Sasha are waving us good bye!!

Daddy has now gone away for a month....but one week has passed already...yay! Back soon

Love Sophie

It's been a while...... still here though!!

Similarities....

Sometimes the similarities between Luc and I are amazing, according to Mummy and Daddy!!!! Luc loves his dummies and apparently, so I am told (a lot) so did I!! Mummy said when I was a baby she heard somebody (maybe advice from one of those "expert" parenting people) say that if you put a few dummie's in the cot at night then we (us babies that is) could find at least one dummy when we woke crying in the night and go straight back to sleep. WELL, that may work for their babies BUT it backfired on poor old Mummy. What happened was we would wake up and cry because we couldn't find ALL the dummies. Then that would take longer because mummy or Daddy had to come in and find all 4 dummies, not just 1!!!!! I mean who wants only 1 dummy when we know there are 3 or 4 in the bed!!!!!! (Some babies are just dumb in my 5 and 3/4 year old opinion!!!! But not us, no,no,no!!

I guess the other funny thing about us "Belliveau babies" is that we like to rotate our dummies. (See example in photo above of how to rotate the dummies!) I mean, why give 1 dummy all the attention. We are sharing caring babies and both Luc and I liked to have a handful of them that we would rotate around and give each one equal sucking time. (Luc even likes to rub one on his nose when he is tired.........I find that so funny!) When I was Luc's age I "apparently" called dummies....gummies?? Luc use to call them........Daa's" up until last week that is and now he can actually say "dummies". Mummy is glad he can now say "dummy" and not "daa" as sometimes it was confused for "Dad" as sometimes he called "Dad" a "Daa".........but of course we all know, Daddy is no Dummy!!!!!!

Do you like in the photo below when we were having a cuddle and our photo taken...Luc was trying to see around Mummy taking the photo to see what was on TV!!!!

And just in case I didn't believe Mummy and Daddy about how obsessed I was with having lots of dummies like Luc.......as always there are photos to prove it......



One day Mummy said she will tell the story about how to get your baby away from their"dummy addiction".......something we are going to have to deal with soon with our little man. I can imagine you readers out there (is there any one out there??) can't wait to hear that story!!!

Sometime

Mohawk boy!

Time for a hair cut maybe!!!! Not happy with this style perhaps!! Upset because I still have toothpaste on my face!!!! Grumpy because I was awake all night......definately!

It's all about me!

It's school holidays here...(I am pretty sure I have told you this already!) Anyway, I have had a great first week. On Thursday Nanny and Mummy took me to see a play called "Snugglepot and Cuddlepie", it was all about 2 little gumnut babies, a big snake and a big lizard. It might not sound that interesting but it was good fun to watch and kids were the actors!! Afterwards we went to a Cafe and had Afternoon tea. I had a "babycino" which is a cappucino for kids (no coffee, just frothy milk and chocolate!)!!! Very grown up like!!

This is what I wore to the play and LOOK, I forgot to tell you all.......I lost my second tooth!!!!!! See the gap........click on the photos to make the gap look bigger....

Then yesterday Nanny and Grandpa looked after Luc and Mummy took me to see "Kung Fu Panda". It was funny but also a little bit scary in some parts. Mummy is so brave, she wasn't scared!!! Afterwards we went shopping for some new jeans for me because in the morning before the movie Mummy and I had our usual "what am I going to wear disagreement"!!!!!!!

You see, I am a leggings girl!! I have 15 pairs actually...although I really only like 2 of them as they are the exact right length!!! I am very fussy (so I am told constantly) about my clothes. So anyway in the middle of the morning clothing dispute, Mummy realised I needed new jeans. So we went to a special kids clothes store and I even tried on clothes.....in a change room and all!!!! How cool is that! SO Mummy was very excited because the store had big signs up saying 50% off, wow, you should of seen how excited she got!!!! I am going to look out for those signs more often because she REALLY likes them!!!

So meanwhile, I am in the changeroom by myself and Mummy keeps bringing me things to try on........so I am now the proud owner of 2 new pairs of jeans, a denim skirt, a pink and blue striped top and groovy belt to match, a cool blue and grey spotty dress AND black boots!!!!
If I was in a more co operative mood I would try them all on again and let Mummy take photos of me like she really wants to do but I just don't feel like it so you just have to make do with these photos.

Cousin Cisco's 1st Birthday

Birthday Boy!!!! Just after eating his birthday cake!

We went to Cisco's first birthday party last Saturday. It was good fun and he had a great time. I can't believe he is ONE already. Now he is the same age as Luc and just about as big as him too!! He got a little bike and some cool new clothes for his birthday.
