Lake District

By the way, I only look worried here because this is the first time I have sat on a high fence and Daddy was asking me to smile! It has been a while sice I was last able to write something on my blog so sorry to all you avid followers of me! I am growing up fast and I have even started eating proper food. I still don't have any teeth so Mummy mushes everything up but I love brocholi, sweet potatoes, carrots, pears and bananas. I tried some salmon but didn't like it much! I also have a new drinking cup which has two handles and I can nearly drink myself now although I sometimes get mixed up where the spout is. I can now turn over and I like sleeping on my side even though Mummy and Daddy always turn me over as they worry but I am fine really! My eyes are still blue and everyone says I am a very beautiful baby - I think I agree with them! Thank you everybody! We spent two weeks in the Lake District and we got plenty of fresh air. Here are some photographs...
I like sucking on lettuce too - it tastes funny at first but then I get into it once I have slobbered on it. Mummy and Daddy always wrap me up warm and I love going for walks in the 'baby carrier' - I can even fall asleep in it which is good for when I am tired.

Mummy and Daddy pushed me half way up Clough Head in the Lakes and it was a very bumpy ride. It was rocky and steep but my trolley handled it well. Uncle Ben came up for a few days and he did some flying with Daddy.

The other weekend, Mummy and Daddy went for a 7 mile run around Richmond Park pushing me and I think it nearly finished them off - or it nearly finished Daddy off anyway! When we got home, Daddy found a tick burrowing into his tummy and Mummy had to get it out - Daddy was frightened! I couldn't help chuckling to myself. I have discovered how to laugh which makes everyone else laugh too!

Last weekend, we went to the Isle of Wight where my God Mother (Jemima) and William got married. It was a fun weekend and very hot but lovely to be by the sea. More fresh air. I was happy to get home again to my cot and all my teddies.

Hope you are all well and see you soon - I will be 6 months old on 9th July.
