Oni's Birthday Special 2 - Manyu in Miami

Wandering around on Miami Beach...

Oni's Birthday Special 1 - Manyu in Orlando

Today it is Oni's birthday and I was being made to say "Oni". I can say "Tha-tha" without a problem and today I said "See-ma" once after a lot of practice. Oni, though, will have to wait... but here is a video of me in Florida for her birthday:

Watchful Manyu

We went for an outing to an island in Ottawa River.

I had fun following and watching seaguls and ducks.

They were noisy and

I followed them everywhere

until I was tired and sleepy

Thatha's Birthday Fashion Parade

April 2, 2009 - On the eve of Thatha's birthday (he is 72 today) I will provide a quick fashion show for his entertainment:
Pink rose, pink bedsheet, and as I can clearly see... pink underwear

Brown baby sharing a laugh with papa

Soccer shirt, soccer shorts and soccer ball... there is one article which belongs to papa...

There was a time when I used to cry every time someone turned on the vacum cleaner... and look at me now.

Fulton's Farm

March 22, 2009 - We went to Fulton's Farm for some maple syrup. Mommy and aunt Sarah drove me there and we had fun on the farm....

Fun at playgroup

I take Mommy to lots of playgroups. She likes to meet new people and play with the toys. This one is at Severn Public School and is an Early Literacy Centre, or at least so the sign says. Here, I am showing Mommy and this little girl how to use the pegboard. The pegs are also fun to chew
on.


I like to play on the farm. Helps me stay in touch with my cowboy roots. This one had real hay! I offered to lasso the horsey, but the hall monitor discouraged it. I don't know why...



My favourite spot is the sand box. I like to fling the sand onto the floor but the room monitor always says "shush!" So I tell her that Mommy did it.



And what are we playing with? Dinosaurs! Grroww! I've seen dinosaurs before - Mommy takes me to the Museum of Nature where they are life size! I have to hold her hand so she doesn't get scared.



Am I too cute or what?


Here's Mommy throwing the sand around. Shh - don't tell the room monitor!



I like to help Mommy in the kitchen at home. When I am at the playgroup I get to show off my kitchen skills! I know how to use the microwave oven, and how to turn on the taps.



My kitchen at this playgroup is well stocked with pots, pans, knives and plates, pineapples, sushi, olives, and pizza - everything a little baby could want!


All this playing is making me hungry. I asked the little girl if she wanted to share, but she was too busy munching off her huge tuna sandwich and ignored me...

So I turned to the fuzzy ball bin for consolation. "Mommy, that little girl won't share!" I exclaimed. She consoled me and gave me milky, which was even better than a tuna sandwich.


Pretty, colourful fuzzy balls.


I chewed on some foam blocks, drove the cars around the room, then it was time to go. See you next time!!

Little Tensing

March 1, 2009 - On a warm sunny spring day we went to a play structure with rope ladders, mazes, little rooms filled with giant balls and lots and lots of children running around... all of them bigger than me. But patiently I made my way up...
