New Years Eve & Day

Happy New To You All
We celebrated NYE by having a picnic in the park on Johnston St with friends, before heading down to watch the fireworks, we didn't quite make it too Bicentennial Park but still got a great view through some railings(hmmmmmm)on Johnston St, I even managed to stay awake for them.

Then after the 9 o'clock fireworks we went back to our friends house for a party and to see in the New Year, I was so excited that I wouldn't sleep and ended up seeing the New Year in with my Mummy & Daddy before finally crashing into bed and Mummy could relax and have a few more drinks. All in all it was a great night.

New Years Day saw Daddy take us on a drive and we went to Bundeena in the Royal National Park - it was a very hot day so I was glad of the dip in the lagoon there, where I had a splash and a paddle it was great fun. It was beautiful a lovely little place.

Mummy & Daddy haven't made any New Years Resolutions and I'm too young for all that but we'd love to hear yours if only to poke fun at hee hee hee.

Have a good one all

We're Going To The Zoo Zoo Zoo.......

Fooling around at the Zoo

Those Elephants are massive


My First Paddle Pop Yummy Yummy


......you can come too too too

Hi Fans,

After Christmas my Mummy & Daddy took me to Taronga Zoo on Friday 29th Dec and we had a brilliant time, we got the ferry over from Circular Quay and it was so busy they had to put extra ferries on and the weather was glorious. We got there and saw Mummy's favourite the BIG cats which are a lot bigger than our Annie, then it was time for a picnic in the park which was thoroughly delicious, then it was more animal seeing, my favourites were the Elephants and Giraffes, after the giraffes it was time for ice-cream and I had my first Paddle Pop (Mummy tells me for my fans in the UK it's similar to a mini-milk)and boy did I get it all over myself, Mummy and the floor but it was yummy. After the ice-cream break we went to the kids Zoo where I was allowed to play and where I saw some sheep, pigs, hens, turkeys and even some rabbits and guinea pigs it was fab. Whilst we were at the Zoo we also saw the new baby gorilla from afar I might add and whilst the Kids Zoo had worn me and put me into my afternoon slumber, Mummy & Daddy got the skylift down to the Ferry and enjoyed a short ferry ride home.

What a great day we all had monkeying around hee hee hee

Merry Christmas Everyone........

Hello Fans,
Merry Christmas to all my lovely friends & family - we have been thinking of you all.

We had a lovely Christmas here in Sydney, the weather was not too great, a little cloudy and overcast but that didn't stop us from having a great day. The morning of Christmas Day, Mummy, Daddy & I all got up together and opened all our presents. I had loads to open, and with Daddy's help I managed to open them all and I got some really cool presents - I got a little people airplane a pink one, a tupperware shape sorter, some books, some lovely Beatrix Potter letters that spelt my name, a cool Christmas Stocking and some nice cutlery & I even got some clothes.
After the present opening we all had Christmas breakfast together - cheese and ham croissants yum yum and a glass of sparkling merlot except I had milk and all that excitement just wore me out so it was nap time for me.

After my nap it was then onto the delightful "Freemans" for our Christmas Dinner - my Godmummy Mel had invited us round and all together there were 12 of us for Christmas lunch, drinks and goodies and before lunch we had another present opening to do and I got a fabulous Christmas Dress from my step-god-daddy Chris, as you can see, I am modelling it in the photo and I got some more really cool presents, but the best was the dress. We had an absolutely fabulous day at Mels I even had Turkey and the trimmings for my lunch and I got to play all day long - what more can a toddler want on Christmas Day - I was even allowed to stay up a little later than normal - I was spoilt just a little.....

What a great Christmas Day had by my Mummy, Daddy and little me Ruby

I hope yours was a special as ours.

Love to you all

Playgroup Christmas Party

Hi My Fellow Fans,
I'm so lucky, I have a wonderful mum who fills my week with lots of fun things to do (mummy told me to say this) and today was no exception. Every Friday Mummy always takes me to the Annandale playgroup for under 2's and I have great fun playing with all the toys I don't have at home and playing with the other bubs, my favourite game is to chase the boys and play in the cars - mummy has to push me around though as my feet don't touch the pedals (it's a great workout for mummy).

Today though, was a special day at playgroup, as it was the playgroup Christmas Party and as there are different playgroups on through the week, we all came together today to party..... it was great fun, Mummy had never seen so many babies, children and parents. There was little farm and Santa came to visit, a buffet of goodies, Mummy made some Raspberry muffins to contribute, I saw my friends there Abbie & Finn, and I played and played, and as you can see, I am a musical maestro, look out world, but the blowey thing had me puzzled, maybe it was because, as mum pointed out, in two pieces but still I found it interesting.

Oh and my other news is I am officially walking (in a fashion Mummy says) but I don't think I'm doing too bad, it's great fun Mummy will post a video of me soon for you all to see, but Daddy was the lucky one to witness it first whilst Mummy was at work and today I'm 13 months old so I've had a pretty good day.

Take Care everyone

A Day Out At The Beach

Hi Fans,
Today Mummy took me over to Manly for a day at the beach. At Manly we met up with Mummy's friend Sharon and she looks after 2 boys called Jack & Will they are both just slightly older than me but that didn't stop me from bossing them around.

We had a picnic on the beach and I played with a bucket and spade for the first time in the sand which I thought was great fun, Mummy took me for a paddle in the sea too but I didn't enjoy this and clung onto to Mummy like a little monkey oh and of course being a girl I annoyed the boys for a while and played with all their toys, but the best part was, Mummy went to get an umbrella to keep the shade of us toddlers and I thought it was great fun to play with as you can see. Mummy & Sharon laughed at me when I started dancing whilst holding onto the pole don't know what they were laughing at though.......

On the way back to the ferry Mummy & I enjoyed an ice-cream together, then it was a mad dash to board the ferry and before we knew it we were on our way home after a brilliant day out.

My Birthday Party

Hi All,
Today was my Birthday Party in the Park, Daddy had been hard at work all day Saturday baking and organising food for my party while Mummy was at work and today together they made it all perfect for me, Mummy was up early to secure the Pagola in the park, she put up balloons, red balloons of course, to mark the occasion and to make sure no one stole our spot as it was nice and shaded with lots of tables - ideal for a party.

Daddy made my birthday cake and iced it all by himself and he made all the cupcakes but Mummy helped him ice and decorate them, there was more than the photos shows but Mummy forgot to take a photo of them all, they look nice don't they and tasted delicious.

It was a lovely day nice and hot, and I was so pleased lots of people came to help me celebrate my 1st Birthday, we had lots to eat and drink, Champagne and Cupcakes - everyone sang Happy Birthday to me after we passed around the Champers then we all tucked into the cupcakes and birthday cake it was so much fun.

I even managed to stay awake for the whole party, you see too many people to entertain and so little time, I could hardly fit in an afternoon nap could I at my own Birthday Party I am a Sydney girl after all.....

There's more photos to come of my Birthday Party so stay tuned it was a great day.

Love you all - The Rubster xxx
