Painting with Uncle Marky

what an artist - we were laughing that the first thing she did on every page was black out the eyes!

Checking out her new water spouting whale in the pool - FUN!

Uncle Marky

One day last week we took the ferry into downtown Sydney with Uncle Marky!

It was QUITE windy outside!

We had a really good lunch at a German restaurant in the Rocks area - Genna loves the schnitzel and the sausages!

Drawing on the ferry

A hot day down in Manly enjoying the fountains!!

Tough Week but with a fun ending!

Crazy hair!!! You invented this game where you go pull all of my tank tops off of the shelf and put the arm hole around your neck then run around laughing.

What Mama? No, I am not stretching them out!

You had a tough week this week with sickness, and ended up in our bed quite a few nights after we weren't able to settle you down. The comfort of being close to us meant you were able to sleep. Having someone who rotates 360 degrees in their sleep does not help Mama & Dada sleep though!

Ahhhh sleeping beauty with her bunny :)

We had a visitor on our balcony one afternoon

You were intrigued!

Check out my cool new bird!

Your Uncle Marcus arrived from Minnesota this weekend too - you guys had a blast at the beach!

The ocean is cold but fun!!!!!

You also enjoy watching fraggle rock on the internet with him

And having a chat while being tickled by the tickle monster :) You sure love your uncle!!

Also - you are getting so heavy I really can't carry you everywhere anymore. So this week we started working on walking & holding Mama's hand. I say 'finger Genna' and you grab my finger and hold on tight and we walk together. I'm very impressed on how good you are - always holding on and not running off :)
