Our lil girl is no longer a baby… she’s moved on from infancy.. to toddlerdom.

We were going to plan her a party.. but with work taking up quite a lot of my time.. and leaving me no sane hours to actually put something together.. we opted to do something really simple.. and just put together an ickle display of her pressies in the front room for her, so when she woke up and wondered into there.. she would be in for a surprise.. and needless to say she was

We also got her an ickle cake and some 1st b’day hats, of which she wore the entire day and the following day when we went out to dinner with her Grandy.

If I was allowed I would have spent thousands on her.. but we did pretty well.. got her clothes, toys, billabong rashsuit, books, a swing, her first ride-on thingy and a hi-lo chair.. for under $500

Callia did alright considering tho.. she got a pretty dress from her Nan ‘n Pop Martin in the UK.. an outfit, books and dvd from Great Nanna Inkson.. some money (which we used to open up Callia’s first bank account) from Great Great Gran in Scotland.. loads of clothes and toys from Nan ‘n Pop O’Connor.. and a Trust Fund set up for her by Grandy.. also loads of cards from family and friends in Aus and UK..

So now she’s 1.. she’s not quite walking on her own yet.. but she’s well on her way.. it wont be long before we’re chasing her around..

* she’s talking a helluva lot more.. has soooo much more to say.. and seems to understand us a lot more now.. so far she saying words like ‘dada’.. ‘mama’ .. ‘no’ .. ‘nanie’ (banana) .. ‘yes’.. ‘bot-bot’..

* she refuses baby food… so now its turned to hand feeding herself.. its the only way we’ll get her to eat.. independent ickle thing!.. she has a funkeh way of letting us know she ain’t interested anymore as well.. nothing quite like throwing your food over your head like its a toy thats simply stopped entertaining her.. soooo below her..lol

* she’s been attending Kindergym for the last 6mths.. altho the last couple of weeks have been rough with DP being ill and me working a crapload.. she hasnt made it mostly.. poor bugga.. sure she misses it..

* she’s taken to switching the tv on and off.. changing channels.. turning the volume up and down.. she’s learing what each button does and I actually caught her tonight turning the volume back down after she blasted it.. think she scared herself..lol

* she reboots our computers quite often.. and also tries to surf google.. she’ll be hacking in no time..lol

I can’t believe how much she’s grown! ..she’s not our lil baby anymore *pouts*

Anyways.. we’ve posted some pics.. hadta put them in Koobcafe.. so here’s the link:
