Kia Ora

Hello all,

I would like to introduce you all to my little friend. The fur pile situated to my right is known as a cat. Normally these four legged creatures hear my coming and make a run for it. This little beauty seemed to like me though. We played together, she would try to play hard to get but would love the rough and tumble once I got her.

I am a very good dancer. My new move is called "The Dervish". I push my arms out and spin round and round like a whirling dervish. The feeling is quite invigourating I assure you.

I don't like Dr Phil. You wait until I find out what his currency is...... I'll take it out of circulation. I mean does he have a first name? Who is he to call himself Dr. He is no more a Doctor than Josef Seuss. Never trust bald old American men that try and stop you living a happy life. I bet he can't even Dervish.

I like Dad more than Mum even though Mum is okay. This is because Dad rules the world and mum only rules the toilet seat.

Some people say I look like my dad

I am getting sick and tired of people saying that I look like my dad. Here is proof that I look nothing like him.

Praise be to red sausages!

Out.

It's a photo montage!!

I t
I thought it might be nice to give you a montage of Jude's favourite photos seeing as we haven't updated the blog for a while.

So here you go.

Here's Jude at his best - raiding the tupperware/pot cupboard, watching "Babe" with Daddy, posing for the camera with nutella all over his mosh, playing with Nana Vic and nicking stuff from Mum's cupboards (yet again).

Jude had his 15 month vaccinations last Thursday and was a real trooper about it - he cried a little as the needles went in (who wouldn't?) but then was very brave.

Mummy's back is feeling better after she strained it putting Jude in his carseat last Wednesday - so she is back to being able to change nappies etc (damn it all!!) and for those of you who didn't know - Jude is going to have a little brother or sister in January '07 (all going well).

Ta-ta for now

It's raining facecloths - hallelujah!!!

Here I am caught in action flinging facecloths around. Aren't my pjs snazzy?

I went to see the Plunket nurse today. She weighed and measured me. I am apparently "tall and lean" - her words. C'mon Mum - who's child am I really?

I am 83cm tall and weigh in at 11.1kg. I have 12 teeth and am pretty gosh-darned cute to boot.

I had a visit from my Nana & Poppa Dromgool in the weekend and they brought me a blackboard/whiteboard easel - I think it is pretty cool and have drawn many pictures using it. I hope the picture I drew you is on the wall in pride of place Nana & Poppa D - I will be checking next time I visit. I am currently working on my next creation for Nana & Poppa Thomas. It will be a self-portrait.

Well, that's all for now - I'd better climb back into my cot - the olds don't know I can climb out of it yet...

If I could only fit the cat in here

That damn cat!! All I want to do is pat her, cuddle her and show her the love I have for animals. Yes it may come across like I am trying to body slam her and pluck her like the chicken she is but really I just want to express my adoration for her.

When I fianlly catch her I am going to teach her a lesson in respect. This picture shows a little machine that I have found. I have learnt that if I turn it on, it will suck things up and make them disappear. If I seem happy in this picture it is because I am picturing what will happen once I get her tail in here. She will be sucked out of my life once and for all.

Mum is hounding me to put some factual information on here. Okay then how does this suit you:

- Senegal is a West African nation bordered by Guinea-Bissau and Muritania
- Senegal is slightly smaller than South Dakota in terms of land mass
- Senegals terrain is generally low, rolling, plains rising to foothills in southeast
- It is also prone to lowland seasonal flooding and periodic droughts

There you go Mum, I have fulfilled your requirements.

I haven't been up to much recently as it has been too wet outside. Yesterday Mummy pushed me and I hit my head, now I have a big lump on it (how's that for factual). When people blow trapped air from their bottoms it makes a noise. When I hear this noise I look around and 9 times out of 10 I see Mum (more facts).

Daddy has been at home with me for the last three days. He told me that he has the time off work because there is a public holiday for his mums birthday. Dad is cool.

Gotta go clean dads car.

Bye

Jude
