Kaysea - Melanie

This is Melanie at about 18 months old, at my sister and brother in laws wedding. Didn't she look like an angel? I could be mean here **G** but I won't. She was a gorgeous little girl and spoilt rotten before Aimee and Bobbie came along. We still have the dress somewhere, but Aimee has used it to dress 'umpteen' dolls in.

Ever the chatter box just like her mum. One time when she was about 14 months old, like here, she decided that a real phone was more fun! We had dozed off together on the bed and when I woke up she was happily chatting away on the bedside phone.

I could hear someone talking to her on the other end, when I took the phone off her, my sister-in-law Kim was on the other end. Kim was at my mother and father-in-laws house, and they were the last phone number I'd called.

Mel must have pressed the redial button. I'm just grateful that the last person I called wasn't my grandmother in the UK! From what I can remember Mel and Kim had been chatting for at least five minutes!

One of the school fundraisers was based around a Push and Pull along-a-thon. Melanie was determined to have the best display.

Have you any idea how long it took us to come up with a way of creating this thing???????? Four packets of cotton balls; two empty cordial bottles; a can of white paint; and an old pram frame later.

TA DAAAA!! Doctor Doolittles Push-Me-Pull-You!

And one very pleased six year old. We still have her medal here somewhere, too!
