I'm getting really good at walking now and am starting to get up some speed. This is important so I can run away from Oskar of course! We've been chasing each other around the house, which is such fun, but he's so much faster than me. I really try to go quickly - I take great big steps as fast as I can - but it also means that I fall faster too. I have to get my hands out really quickly to stop my face from hitting the ground. I don't always make it, so the quicker I can work out how to run the better.

I'm sporting a big scab on my nose at the moment, but not from running away from Oskar. When we were at Phillip Island we stayed in this great big house that had a staircase in it. We slept down the bottom, but ate and played up the top. I was with Mum down the bottom when Dad went up the steps so I set off to follow him. I'd made my way part of the way up when I tripped up and toppled down again. I landed with a crash on the landing, having broken the fall with my nose. It really hurt and I cried and cried. Soon after we went out for a walk and I forgot about my nose. Probably because it was so cold out there that my nose might have gone numb. Dad was carrying me on his shoulders, which I loved. I had a great view of the waves and clouds and birds. But it was so cold. Mum ordered Dad to take me back to the house but we didn't quite make it in time before the rain came. We didn't mind, but Mum was a bit cranky.

I'm loving looking at birds and playing with the knitted birds we have at home. I was very excited at Phillip Island when a magpie landed on the balcony just outside the window where I was standing. I pointed and yelled out, 'BA! BA! BABABA! BAAA!' Sandy was trying to feed it, but the bird kept walking away. Then Sandy closed the door and the bird was happy to eat - it didn't like me talking to it!

I love to hold the knitted birds and make them fly around. Mum says, 'Flap, flap, flap,' when she makes them fly; I say, 'Ba, ba, ba, ba,' as I bounce them around.
