N.O. means "No!"

Here I am demonstrating a few of my undesirable traits (or so the parents like to tell me). No matter how many times mummy and daddy tell me not to do something, I must experiment on my own. Of course now that I have learned how to communicate my opinion on such matters, I'm sure that the rules in this household will change. POWER TO THE BABIES!!!!!

Fun times at the Steinebach household

Well I have been showing mummy and daddy and my grandmas a few new tricks that i have acquired lately and mummy managed to catch this one on film.

I call this "Where's Jacob?"

I have been busy showing the adults that baby locks are so passe. Heck I can get into the liquor glasses now and also climb onto the bar by climbing up the big stools (there's also a phone there that I have my eye on!). I can open and shut all the doors cause they have that fun knob that turns when you pull on it. My new tasks to work on are figuring out how to open the kitchen door locks, turn the bath on (already know how to turn the shower on), get into the food cupboard (I can sorta get into the one with the cereal in it) and climb out of my bed safely. I figure once I have accomplished these last tasks I will be ready for school!

Today we went to Sardis park and met up with some buddies. I had a great time on the toys and chasing the ducks and geese. I'm not sure why the geese hissed and the ducks ran away though? I even tried to share my bananna with them but they liked my sandwich better. Mummy wouldn't let me run away too far though cause she was afraid that I would try to pick up some more poopies (I thought they were rocks!)

Pose, snap and voila!

Mummy got a new camera this last weekend and she has been busy snapping photos or me and everyone and everything. I helped her pick out her camera (okay actually I sat in my stroller and played with her cell phone cause there were lots of fun things there that i wanted to touch and her phone was at least paid for!)

On Sunday we went and celebrated Mother's day with my Grandmas and mummy had been wanting to get a picture of me and my cousins for Grandma P so with her fancy new camera she was able to snap this picture of the 5 of us for her.

My cousins are really tall so Craig had to hang on to me (and so i wouldn't run away). I'm sure that mummy will have tons more pictures of me for the rest of my life.

All systems operational

Well we can finally say that Jacob has survived this stomach virus and is now back to his normal self. He was back to full appetite yesterday plus I think he borrowed someone else's cause he was eating everything plus our food. He also finally got back to some normal poops thank god! I was beginning to think i would have to buy shares in Pampers.
So now that he is back to normal he is making up for lost time. He has already tested the cat and luckily (or maybe not) she didn't bite or scratch him. I think that it might take a bite for him to stop pestering her. He has tested our will against his by throwing some fits when he can't have the phone or something else he thinks he should have. Then when he did get my cell phone he called my friend and left some kind of message twice. He is back to running around and opening the doors and shutting them very loudly and quickly (I'm sure his fingers will get caught), climbing onto tables, chairs and whatever else looks climbable (he is eyeing the cats bed in the window sill) and generally making his presence known in every room. Yup the kid is definitely back!!!!!!

A visit to Hell

This was an unusual weekend for me. It all started with my cousin Tessa coming for a sleep-over on Friday. We got to eat some Chinese food, go up to the property and look at the new house being built (not quite ready yet), she got to help with my bath and she even got to share a room with me (I don't think she wanted to wake up at 5am though!)

Then on Saturday, mummy and i had to get our hairs cut so Tessa got to play with me while mummy took forever to get hers coloured (she's very, very blond now). I am now sporting a very slick doo that people have told me brings out my wild side.

On Sunday we went and picked up my cousins Meagen and Kristen and they drove with mummy and I to a place called Hell's Gate. Mummy was having lots of fun on the drive up and was even singing quite loudly and dancing around (Kristen kept saying they weren't related but I know she's my cousin....).

When we got to Hell we took this really nifty car down a big rope and visited some shops, heard some singing (I think they were better than mummy), saw some dancers with feathers,

and crossed a bridge that you can see through (Auntie Leasa wouldn't look down but i did) Then I got to sit in this really big chair that even my cousins couldn't climb onto. Daddy's gonna be sad that he missed all the fun.
