Bath time

Here I am...nearly 8 months and loving my bath! Mummy and Daddy put bubbles in my bath and they make me laugh so much.....

My first Christmas...

Christmas is coming and it's Mummy and Daddy's favourite time of year! Mummy's been busy dressing me up and taking photos for our Christmas cards this year.......I think this is the best one.....this is me at 7 1/2 months

I'm sitting up

I can sit up by myself now......I started sitting up on 26 October and I feel so happy with myself. Here's a photo of me sitting in my toy basket....this was taken on 12 November.

Starting Solids...

I started eating solids on 23 September and I love mashed vegies....here I am enjoying myself...

My First Holiday....

I went on my first holiday last week with Mummy and Daddy - we caught the plane up to Airlie Beach, QLD on 14 October. We did lots of walking with me in the backpack and some swimming at the beach - I love eating sand! We also went to Hamilton Island by boat and we rode in a golf buggy. Mummy and Daddy were very happy with me because I slept from 6pm to 6am on holidays!!

Spring Time!

It's Spring time and I'm 5 months old! Here I am with Mummy and Daddy in the backyard....Daddy just mowed the lawn.

The hat I'm wearing is from Nanny and Poppy and my special bib is from Mummy's Auntie Dianne!

This photo was taken on 17 September.

Favourite sleeping position

Mummy and Daddy have stopped wrapping my arms while I sleep now and look at how I sleep.....

I'm sleeping for 14 hours at night now which Mummy and Daddy love - I wake up in the morning feeling so happy. The first thing Mummy does when she gets me up in the morning is open my blinds because I love looking outside.

This is me on 8 September.

Me in the Mirror

Here I am checking myself out in the mirror......I haven't worked out that it's me in the mirror so I just like to smile at the cute bub smiling back at me :)

This was taken on 25 August

Jumping Jett

I'm finally starting to jump about in my jolly jumper and I love it.......I'm discovering these things down low called LEGS!! This was me on 29 July!

Auntie Sarah and Uncle Matt

Here are some photos of me with my Auntie Sah and Uncle Matt - these photos were when they came to visit me from Sydney in June!

My new friends...

Here I am with my new friends from Mummy's group - there's 8 of us here in the photo but there were 5 bubs away that day. We range in age from about 41/2 - 5 months down to me and Chiara who are 3 months. It's lots of fun!

I'm up the top (in the blue bodysuit) next to my friend Felix who likes to suck my hand :)

I'm in my big bed!

Last week I moved from my bassinette into a big bed and I love it.....I had a couple of unsettled nights but now I'm used to it and I love it - Mummy and Daddy love it because now when I kick my legs about in the night, I don't wake them up with my bed squeeking!

This photo was taken on 15 July

Me going out...

This is me on my way to Mummy's group....I was feeling particularly happy about going (29 June)

Me in Mum's Tum

Here's a photo of me in Mum's tummy at 36 weeks (on the left) - this was taken at her baby shower.
The photo on the right was taken when Mum was 38 weeks....I was born a few days after this photo was taken!

My Cousins

Meet my cousins....Joseph, Timmy (on the left) and Elijah (on the right). Joseph is 7, Timmy's nearly 5 and Elijah will be 2 in November. They live in Dubbo and I can't wait to play with them when I get older.

Car Rides

Here's a photo (24 May) of me in my baby capsule....I love car rides and usually fall asleep after a short time of driving!

My Aunties

Here are photos of me with Mummy's sisters - My Aunties! On the left is me with Auntie Fi - she came to visit me in hospital. On the right is me with Auntie Anney - she came to visit on 5 May from her holidays in Queensland.....aren't I lucky??

I love sleeping!

Here's a photo of me dreaming about cuddles and milk - I'm looking very happy! This was taken on 28 April 06 when I was 12 days old......

I make Mummy very happy when I have big sleeps at night - sometimes I sleep for 7 1/2 hours before I call out for a drink.

My Daddy

My Daddy's name is James Barker and he's a great runner! Here's a photo of him taken in the Canberra Marathon - the week before I was born. He came 3rd in this race and won $500! His time was 2:27:05 - Wow! I can't wait to run with him one day.

In the 2nd photo here you can see some blood on Daddy's running singlet - he got chaffe on his nipples and they bled heaps. I think they would have hurt when he got in the shower.

My First Smile

Mummy saw my first real smile on 23 May 2006 when she tickled my face then Daddy saw me smile the next day on 24 May. In the first few days I only smiled every now and then but now I smile all the time - when someone makes funny purring noises with their tongues or when I watch people on TV or even when I just look out the window. These photos were taken of me on 13 June 2006 when I was feeling really happy!

Me and my friends

Here's a photo of me at 3 weeks....

Bath time

Here's a photo of me having my first ever bath with Dad! This was taken in hospital on 19 April 2006 when I was 3 days old.

I love my bath time - I go all calm and when I go on my tummy I pull my legs up like a little frog.

My Birthday

My name is Jett Brian Barker and I was born on 16 April 2006 to Daddy - James Barker and Mummy - Naomi Hedgecoe!

I was 7 pounds 4 ounces (3.3kgs) and 47.5cm long. I was born at Calvary Hospital in Canberra, ACT.
