We have a new puppy- she is 8 weeks old and called Autumn.

About time to update 3- Hong Kong

2010-12-07T19:08:00.002+08:00

Soon after our US holiday we managed to go back to Hong Kong- we had a ball- went to Ocean Park and Disney, on a tram and the star ferry and caught up with friends. We miss Hong Kong a lot but have new excitement in taht we will hopefully have a puppy very soon.

About time to Update 2- Florida

2010-12-07T18:59:00.002+08:00

We went on holiday to Florida and had a ball and went to Busch Gardens and on a cruise. As you can see Becky loves rollercoasters and was in her element!

About time to update

2010-12-07T18:53:00.003+08:00

Becky visiting Uncle Roger to meet Sullivan and new sunglasses, not quite got the hang of them!!

How time has flown!

2010-07-22T04:01:00.003+08:00

Apologies for no updates but honestly we don't really have much time these days with Becky, the garden and work.

So in the last few months Becky has suddenly grown up a lot and is a gorgeous little girl. No toddler here any more!

The tiger and her Grandma

2009-07-18T06:02:00.003+08:00

At the Brogdale Cherry festival. We had fun on the miniature train and a bouncy castle.

Becky the poser

Saying Goodbye :(

2009-07-18T05:25:00.001+08:00

Dim Sum to say farewell to friends.

The swing-!!

2009-07-18T05:23:00.002+08:00

Becky loved this swing and spent probably half of the last day in HK on it.

Becky at Nana's birthday

2009-07-18T05:18:00.002+08:00

Last trip to the wildlife centre - saying goodbye to all the animals

Leaving home

2009-02-10T10:12:00.002+08:00

Becky decided that she wanted to leave home - but she couldn't open the door so she decided that the best way out was in her push chair!

Blue Mountains

2009-02-10T10:02:00.004+08:00

Out for a stroll

and enjoying the view

All tired out

But it was a very hot day

Sydney Aquarium

2009-02-10T09:50:00.002+08:00

This was Becky's favourite - she made us go back almost every day

Looking for a dugong

Ah - there is is!!

Can't stop - looking for another one...

Luna Park

2009-02-10T09:35:00.005+08:00

and she loved driving her own car

but the slide was the best fun of all

And the dog!

Kangaroos!

or rather "Kangoos"

But the frog was the hit at the wildlife centre

Picking dinner with Grandad on the first night - as you can see it was delicious!

Fun in the sand at Bondi beach.

Phuket

2009-01-22T08:55:00.003+08:00

We took a short break to Phuket for some sun, and sand. Becky loved the pool, was intrigued by the sand, and not sure about the sea. She had a great time trying to swim, the action is good, but she can't stay afloat.

New Year and a cool dude

2009-01-22T08:50:00.004+08:00

New Year in Hong Kong was a gorgeous sunny day, so we walked up the peak. You can see HK faintly in the background.

Christmas 2008

2008-12-25T19:02:00.005+08:00

Becky had an absolute ball, she was a very lucky girl and received a quadro- the house in the pictures, 2 babies, 2 soft toys, a monkey bean bag, a dolls crib and pushchair plus countless other special things. A few snaps of the day!

My new look!

2008-09-10T21:06:00.003+08:00

I picked my clothes all by myself - and almost managed to put them on too - holes in the wrong places - hmmph

Drink!

2008-09-10T21:01:00.002+08:00

I can drink from a big cup now!

In the UK

2008-08-24T17:19:00.003+08:00

We went back to visit friends and family- minus Daddy he is coming next time. Mummy forgot to take many pictures but here are a few she managed. As you can see I loved the dog basket and had great fun with a smoothie and yoghurt as war paint. We threatened Grandad with bathing me and he ran away he he!

pre UK

2008-08-24T17:17:00.001+08:00

I just liked this photo of Becky!

Gracious eating in Hollywood

2008-06-30T22:10:00.002+08:00

Becky ate out lots on the holiday and really enjoyed it. Not always healthy but always messy!

San Diego Zoo

2008-06-30T22:07:00.003+08:00

The zoo was much better and Becky met up with Stella and gave her lots of big hugs!

Sea World

2008-06-30T22:05:00.002+08:00

We went to see Shamu but it was awfully hot waiting for the show. Where's the shade Sea World??

Hyde pier

2008-06-30T21:53:00.003+08:00

Becky had lots of fun walking with Shelly along Hyde Pier and looking at all the boats. Well she walked most of the time anyway!

Golden Gate Park

2008-06-30T21:50:00.002+08:00

It was scorching for our first two days in San Francisco. And then the weather went back to normal....

Just hiding out

2008-06-30T21:47:00.001+08:00

Becky loved hiding behind the curtains at the St Francis in San Francisco. Hat by the Disney store!

Monterey aquarium

2008-06-30T21:43:00.002+08:00

They had a cool toddlers area and Becky loved the bubbles

Hearst Castle

2008-06-30T21:37:00.002+08:00

Becky wasn't too keen on the outside- very sunny. But she was very keen to try to get into the swimming pool :-)

Pismo Beach

2008-06-30T21:30:00.002+08:00

Holiday snaps

2008-06-30T21:06:00.001+08:00

Becky had a great time in California, meeting lots of new people and seeing lots of new places but wasn't too keen on all the travelling.

Lots of photos to come from our trip....

Back from holiday!

2008-06-30T20:58:00.001+08:00

Very tired on the way to the airport

No photos please

2008-06-09T22:15:00.001+08:00

Parker's birthday

2008-06-01T21:45:00.003+08:00

We went to one of Becky's friends first birthday party and Becky had lots of fun. It was at a play center, with all sorts of interesting things to see and do.

Belated Thank you pictures

2008-05-24T21:00:00.003+08:00

These are the photos I promised months ago, and the pictures have now been on the wall nearly 2 months and I just kept forgetting.

Aunty Randy, as you can see the needlepoint is on Becky's wall and framed. It looks amazing, one wall is Winnie the Pooh so that is where this is.

Brooks and Liz, we have a family wall, which at the moment only has this painting on it. As you can see it is framed and looks amazing, so thank you very much.

The last week

2008-05-24T20:54:00.002+08:00

ress

Becky has been having a normal week, but on Thursday she had on a special outfit as there were photographers at school. The cardigan is from Aunt Jane and Uncle Dan, and the dress from Aunt Simone and Uncle Tim. Then she had a very messy lunch and showed off her lovely teeth.

The final picture is just a cute snapshot.

Playing on the grass

2008-05-18T20:56:00.002+08:00

We went to the Pokfulam market at the Podium at Cyberport. Becky had lots of fun walking around and climbing up steps, but really wasn't sure what she made of all the green stuff on the ground.

Group Birthday Party

2008-05-04T19:28:00.004+08:00

Becky and her friends had a joint birthday today to celebrate at a play-gym. They all had lots of fun with balloons and parachutes and obstacle courses, and needed a nap afterwards.

Opening presents

2008-04-30T19:19:00.001+08:00

Becky loved opening all of her presents - she was a very lucky girl. Lots of thankyou letters to write now!

Now I am one!

2008-04-30T19:11:00.001+08:00

Happy birthday Becky!

Party girl

2008-04-27T21:23:00.003+08:00

Becky had her first birthday party today. Our photos didn't come out to well, but we did get this great video of her playing - no balloon is safe from her!

Walking like a champ

2008-04-20T18:19:00.003+08:00

The new apartment has really encouraged her walking!

Becky uses a cup

2008-04-12T13:41:00.004+08:00

Becky suddenly appears to be growing up, I was helping her use the cup- and accidentally left it in reach- she picked it up and helped herself with no spills!!

Walking (but still not properly caught on camera)

2008-04-09T20:25:00.003+08:00

Lots of Changes

2008-04-09T20:12:00.004+08:00

Since the last blog life has been very busy, we finally live in our new apartment, and Becky loves her new room, and the space it gives to her to practice walking. Something she happily does on her own given the right incentive. She is still happiest with one hand held though.

Grandma and Grandad have been to visit and gone on their cruise, and Daddy is in England working.

Sunglasses

2008-03-24T20:21:00.002+08:00

Becky loves playing with sunglasses - but only if they're someone else's!

More smoothies!

2008-03-16T14:52:00.001+08:00

This one's mango!

Becky boogies on down

2008-03-14T12:03:00.003+08:00

Sorry for the bad videography- but if I just watched her she stopped. Becky started dancing as soon as I put the music on. This is a sample- not her best moves.

Suck it up or the best drinks are always mummy's

2008-03-14T11:47:00.001+08:00

Becky enjoying a taste of smoothie. She didn't want to share!

Father Christmas

2008-03-09T19:01:00.001+08:00

What do you think of the beard?

Walking

2008-03-03T21:35:00.001+08:00

Becky managed a few steps today - all on her own!

We didn't get it on camera unfortunately but sure she'll do it again :-)

Mothers day

2008-03-02T19:39:00.002+08:00

The mummies group (and daddys!) went to brunch at Cafe Deco for Mother's Day. Becky enjoyed lots of different foods - especially pasta - even though she was the only one with no teeth.

Junk comments

2008-03-02T19:37:00.001+08:00

Some people - probably just a robot (!) - have been posting spam comments - probably best not to click on the links on the comments.

We delete them when we see them but just in case!

A very determined little girl

2008-02-24T18:20:00.002+08:00

Becky decides she wants a different toy!

Call me Napoleon the video

2008-02-24T18:13:00.003+08:00

Becky having bathtime fun.

Clap clap

2008-02-24T18:04:00.004+08:00

Becky's new skill since last week, she sometimes even does it on request!

Rolling along

2008-02-24T17:24:00.003+08:00

Becky went to the playroom today and had lots of fun rolling things around. Bit sleepy now!

Just call me Napoleon!

2008-02-24T17:16:00.002+08:00

No room for mummy

2008-02-24T17:09:00.002+08:00

Becky and Daddy taking up the whole bed!

Back in Hong Kong.

2008-02-18T02:58:00.003+08:00

Not many photos as we had a week of trying controlled crying- more like uncontrolled terror for Becky so she was not a happy person. Now she is happier and eating our food- sorry no pictures of her scoffing sushi(just the avocado and rice no fish just yet)!

Back to England!

2008-02-18T02:50:00.003+08:00

We had a short trip back to England with Daddy- hence no blog for a few weeks. Here is Becky with Grandma and in the background Lorelei.As you can see Becky is no fan of the fresh air and walks in the park! Loves malls though a Hong Kong girl!

Learning to walk

2008-01-26T20:51:00.000+08:00

Not very steady but definitely learning! Doggy helps a bit :-)

Becky standing with one hand then falling

2008-01-23T20:55:00.000+08:00

She is pretty stable but tries too hard to go with no hands.

Bathtime is splashtime!

2008-01-20T22:46:00.000+08:00

Curly mop

2008-01-20T22:40:00.001+08:00

Becky has been a bit off colour this week- she can't shift her cold so not that much to report. She continues to try to walk- but never on camera.

More Changes than photos this week

2008-01-13T05:36:00.000+08:00

Becky has learnt to pull herself to stand, she has been gradually mastering it, and finally did it without falling over yesterday. She also has started to like feeding herself, the picture is after a breakfast of apricot and banana- no harm helping, followed by rice porridge. Unfortunately rice porridge is like thick wall paper paste as you can see.

Becky's first attempt at crawling

2008-01-07T21:59:00.000+08:00

While we were in the UK Becky became much more mobile. Shortly after this she mastered it.

Second Christmas in Folkestone

2008-01-07T21:52:00.000+08:00

So both sets of grandparents could enjoy seeing Becky at Christmas she had 2 Christmas days.

Christmas in Coventry

2008-01-07T21:43:00.001+08:00

Opening presents

2008-01-07T21:07:00.000+08:00

Feeding time

2007-12-16T19:23:00.000+08:00

A yoghurty beard.

The Christmas Party

2007-12-09T20:28:00.000+08:00

Becky went to see her friends at a Christmas party at Coco's. She missed Santa as she was sleeping though.

Stanley after a walk

2007-12-09T20:21:00.000+08:00

We took Becky for a walk outside. She is such a Hong Kong girl and couldn't see the point. She liked walking round Stanley though.
