Take a look at a sheep getting a hair cut (2mins)... We went to Fairfield Farm for the birthday of one of Raina's little friends: the camel tried to eat her shirt, the kangaroos ignored us, the cow was milked, and this poor sheep lost his wool!

Twangy Tune

I was serving up some yummy chicken rice porridge when Raina made up her first song. It has a bit of a country twang to it..."chicken bone, chicken bone..." At Grandma and Grandpa's place that night we were treated to a roast chicken dinner, and out came the same tune... "chicken bone, chicken bone..." Now Darwin has added some extra lines in his silly version. It has been fascinating to watch the new language coming out in the past few weeks. Miss R is constantly commentating on everything going on around us. She has to count everything, and so far the numbers go like this: "1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, ten! Wow!"

Her absolute favourite thing to do at the moment is to play "cubby bed" when Daddy gets home from work. They pile up all the pillows and blankets around them and giggle and hide away until I come and find them. Her next favourite thing is babycino with Grandpa. I get ordered to "call Papa come, go car babycino!"

Baby Kaylee

My baby sister has had a baby! Gorgeous Kaylee was born Saturday morning to proud parents Fei-Lee and Ernesto. With beautiful black hair, big dark eyes, she weighed in at only 2.75kg/6 pounds. Welcome little Kaylee!
