Crawling

Hello everybody...

Just a quick update, I wanted to let you know that I am wriggling around everywhere and I can crawl too! I am very excited because I am nearly mobile and if I want to reach for something far away (like 10 feet) then I can...

The other morning, Mummy came to see me in my cot and I was on my knees holding onto the top rail! My next target is to walk but I need to be better at balancing first - it won't be long now!

Hope to see you all soon and if you are passing my house in Gowrie then please come and see me! I love seeing you all...

Bye bye...

Kite flying by the seaside...

Hello again! Wow... what a lovely day. Mummy's idea to go to the seaside was a good one. It was windy so I threw my kite into the car in case I had time to fly it.

We drove to Rye in East Sussex and went to Camber Sands too. It was really windy and the sand was getting in my eyes so we didn't get all the way to touch the sea but Daddy and Mummy helped me fly my kite on the grass which was great fun - the wind was strong so I needed help to hang on! Once we got back home, Uncle Ben came round and fed me which was yummy. I then had a bath with Mummy and afterwards Daddy took me downstairs and lit a fire because it was wet and cold outside. I got too hot in my dressing gown - Daddy sang some songs on his guitar before bottle and bed. Another perfect day.

The Swings!

Mummy and Daddy took me to the swings on Clapham this morning and I loved it! I went quite high and I had to hang on but it was really fun! Look, I am hanging on with one hand!! Then I had a go driving the train in the playground - I liked steering and looking out of the driver's window... I am wearing my new blue dungarees that Tante Za gave me from France. They are so warm and comfy!

It is raining now so we are at home in the dry. More to come soon... x

Last weekend of July

Mummy and Daddy drove me down to Closewood again. It was a really hot weekend but we went to buy a big paddling pool (with coloured spots) on Saturday. Mummy filled it up with water which quickly warmed up in the sun and I splashed around in it to cool off!

Daddy put together my wooden high chair which I now sit in to eat - I climbed into the box (which the high chair came in) and I couldn't help laughing!
Uncle Ben came down late on Saturday night. Daddy had taken his flying machine down and on Sunday he flew over Closewood and I could see him waving at me in the garden where I was having a rest with Mummy in the shade. Daddy then landed, just in time to give me a bath before bed. It was a fun weekend.

I now have two baby teeth coming through at he front on the bottom row! I am dribbling a lot but I like biting on things including my fingers, which soothes my mouth.

I love Mummy's homemade cooking and I am eating spinach, chicken, lots of fruit, potatoes, swede etc... Yummy yum - thank you Mummy.

I am also wriggling around a lot - Daddy calls me wriggle pops! I love my walking machine which plays tunes and I can now 'walk' around the kitchen following Mummy.

I love to chew on the wooden spoon and drinking water out of my 'Tommy Tippee' mug - sometimes the water comes out fast and I am left gasping for air - I am still getting used to it...

I am growing fast and I can't wait to see you soon!
