No 8 - Five months old

Hello everyone,

     Big News today! I am five months old. Yippee! Just another month to go and I shall be able to stop hanging out at the milkbar and start raiding the fridge or pinching nibbles from daddy's plate. I can't wait.

      All the big people celebrated my special day with a visit to a Chinese restaurant, Aunt Cindy and Uncle Andy were there.

     I had another big 'first' today too, my legs straightened out and I stood on Uncle Roy's lap for nearly 30 seconds, I can't remember how I did it, but I shall try again tomorrow.
       Everyone says I have beautiful black hair, like mummy and Aunty Cindy. Uncle Andy doesn't have any hair at all, maybe they didn't give him any because he was a naughty boy when he was young, I met a lady the other day who had white hair, perhaps she had seen a ghost' When I grow up I hope I am very rich and can buy some gold hair like Uncle Roy's. 
    And guess what! I am going to have my own passport soon, The first place I shall go to when it arrives will be to see my Grand Papa and Grand Mama in France. I bet they will be surprised to see how big I am. I wonder if they will speak like daddy. My French isn't very good yet, but I'll understand them a little bit.

Well, that is all for now.
Au revoir mon amis.

No 7 - Sitting up

My mum took me to a party last weekend and guess who was there?  my friend Sophie, she was walking all by herself, I was so envious, I can't wait to do that. I'm already sitting, but it is a bit wobbly.
     Yesterday we all went to the Pub with Aunty Jean and Uncle Roy and that is where I had the photo taken with Mummy - we are looking pretty aren't we?
      I learned something new today; my name is Amelie, Dad says it's a French name, but it is also English and Chinese, because 'A' means one in English and Melie is Chinese for beautiful. So there you are, I am all mixed up and enjoying it.
      I'll write some more later.
      Love from Amelie

No 6 - Dressing up time

 
        Here I am 4 months old and wearing one of my Christmas presents - quite cute eh!
        I can't make up my mind whether to wear this dress for Chinese New Year on the 12th Febuary or keep it until the 14th for Valentines Day. What's a girl to do?
        I started to balance myself on my bottom last week, Mummy called it sitting, I  think I have a way to go before I qualify for sitting, but already mummy told daddy that she was going to buy me a 'high chair' so that I can sit at the table. That's what I call progress.
        Mummy dressed me in a pair of blue denim Jeans last week-end -  daddy comes from de Nimes in France where the denim material for Jeans was first produced, I felt very proud of him.
