Laughs to birth and all things that follow: February 2010

Alright so yesterday was Shrove Tuesday (the day before Lent begins for us Catholics) and our church holds an annual pancake evening, where all the pancakes are provided and all we had to do was take our fillers and drinks.

A lovely evening all in all in spite of it's crazy beginning, with the massive thunderstorm on the way to the church which in the end made it an even more spiritual thing for us as we spent the whole journey praying,anyway Candice, Ryan and Kyla-Lee joined us(they came a little later so they would miss the big storm) as did the rest of the Hunt/ Fernandez clans... This was to be a special night, not only was it marking the beginning of Lent but it was also my first experience with these strange flat things that they call pancakes.

THEY WERE DELICIOUS!!! Mommy put just the tiniest sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on for me, and that was the end of that, it was finished quicker than you could say YUM!
i just couldn't get enough of the wonderful flat meal (which is meant to be rolled, but i got so excited that i unraveled it) Man oh man why have you kept this from me for so long?

(Please excuse the quality of the pic as it was taken with mommy's phone)
My first tastes of pancake and Kyla just chilling:

Hi all sorry i haven't been posting much lately but i have been a very busy boy!
Now the last time i posted was all about my 1st Christmas, but as you can guess there have been loads of things keeping both me and mommy and daddy busy since then...

So lets begin... during and just after the Christmas season we were busy house(or at least dog and cat sitting) for uncle Pierre and aunty Rene and also for uncle Sean, aunty Larine (also Thomas and "sunshine")so all in all it was 5 dogs and one cat! lots of fun...

Then came my 1st New Years, well that was also loads of fun, aunty Mel and uncle Andrew came and so did aunty Gerry and uncle Kevin and my friend Tyrone! we had a nice braai, (Tyrone and i pretty much polished off a big bag of flings between the two of us) and we then played for a while. But alas i didn't make it to see the New Year in... Mommy was mean and put me to sleep, it was all her fault!

I have also found a new hiding/play place i call it "Toy land's cupboard of fun" but mommy calls it " the Tupperware cupboard" this is a really fun game for me as i pull absolutely everything that i can get my hands on out of the cupboard and then climb in, and sit there like I'm on my throne,surveying my wondrous deeds of unpackment... (yes unpackment is my new word, i am the king, that's why i can make up my own words)

I have also been cruising now for a while BUT i have some new tricks too, i can pull up on gates and shake them like I'm in a prison movie, i can also climb up all the stairs at home now, i must admit it was quite funny the first time i did it, i gave mommy and daddy the fright of their lives!

Hmmm now what else can i do?
... oh yes i can stand unaided for about 15-20 seconds- this is my proudest accomplishment this year as it totally amazes both mommy and daddy, Yes i know I'm ammmazing! i just cant wait until i can walk, WOW it's gonna be great!

OK OK so it wasn't just me that's been busy, it's mom and dad too!
mommy has been busy planning my party- it's going to be such fun,I'm turning ONE! and practicing the cupcakes and chocolates so that when she has to make them for real they will ROCK! I love my mommy!

And daddy has been very busy at work, he has been building some new applications for the teams to use, he has made quite a few apps for me to even start explaining what each one does, but he is very good at it, he won two awards for it, the first award he got a really cool trophy and the second one he got a trophy and a 27" LCD screen for his PC at work(he has a BIIIGGG picture of ME on it) we are so proud of daddy, he is so clever, but he must just be careful because one day i am soooo going to be more clever than he is... hey dad watch out!

Oh yes i also have a new play friend, her name is Angeline and she comes on Thursdays, she is our new maid, i love to follow her around the house and watch her work- such fun!!

some things i love to do:

1) i love to swim
