Brother or Sister coming soon...!!

Well, we have some good news... Mummy tells me I will have a brother or sister very soon! All the tests so far have been good and it is not twins which is a relief... says Mummy (and Daddy!)

I have taken my first 3 steps and am getting good - soon I will be walking - Secretly, I am hoping to be able to walk across my playroom before Christmas but it's hard... watch this space! I'm not even a year old yet!! I am getting really good at climbing the stairs too.

Also, we have a lovely Christmas tree with lights and I love playing with the presents and pulling the branches down - Mummy moved it so it is now on a table out of my reach but I love looking at the twinkley lights...

Happy Christmas to you all and next time I see you... who knows... I hope I shall be walking!!

Lots of love

Uncle Ben and his new camera!

Uncle Ben bought his new camera round last night and took this shot of me. I thought I would post it up to show you how much I have grown! See you soon... X

Old shoes

It's been a while since I last wrote on my blog! I thought I would tell you about my shoes that I have already worn out! Daddy tells me they don't make shoes like they used to! Look... they have completely worn through and I am still just crawling around and standing up! Mummy makes me put my shoes neatly next to Daddy's so she doesn't trip over them. Mummy says I have to learn to be tidy!! It's raining outside, Mummy is sleeping, Daddy has popped out and I am quickly updating before I am caught... See you all soon I hope... Lots of love from Sebastian xxx

Isle of Wight (October)

I am on holiday with Mummy and Daddy on the Isle of Wight. We have been for lots of lovely walks and last night we went up St Catherine's hill to see the sun set on the south of the island. It was quite cold but the views were lovely along the coast...
Here I am standing on the Trig point on top of Limerstone Down the other day. I am all wrapped up in my down suit. I wish I had a pair of down booties though!
Here I am on Mummy's shoulders. You can see in the background the remains of an old monastery on top of St Catherine's Hill. The locals call it the pepper pot!

Mummy and Daddy bought a special back pack on ebay last night that I will be able to fit in - it will be more comfortable and we will be able to go on longer walks as at the moment it gets quite uncomfortable being in the front carrier which we have at the moment.

Look at the sunset - this is the best one I have ever seen - it was just before my bedtime!

Welsh weekend

Mummy and Daddy took me to Wales last weekend. It was the first time I had been there and I loved it. The sun shone and everyone was happy. We had picnics in the hills and we were so high up that we could see for miles. One of the hills we clambered up was called Pandy, near Abergavenny. We went right to the top and stood on the trig point there. That was fun. I hope you like looking at these photos Daddy and Mummy took. I think I am a bit of a handful now as I am wriggling and crawling everywhere. I especially like standing up with the help of a box or a chest of drawers!

Standing up

Look at me Daddy! Quick, take the photo!!...

8 months old today...

Last weekend we went to Gran Gran's at Closewood House. Daddy put up a guard over the coal fire to stop me from touching it. It is a black grate that he screwed to the wall so it is nice and firm! I found that I could reach up and stand up with the help of this useful grate. I heard Daddy then say, "that's it son, there's a good foothold there," and before I knew it I had both feet off the ground and I was climbing! Daddy was impressed - I think Mummy was too!

Oh yes, today I am 8 months old exactly! My two top front teeth are coming through and it is quite painful but I can now leave tooth marks in a carrot! Naughty Daddy hasn't taken any photos for a while so I cannot upload any - the weather has been miserable but I am happy.

I also received my first invitation today from my friend Hector who is three months older than me. He will be one in October. During the week (except Wednesday when Mummy doesn't work) Ioana, my nanny, looks after Hector and I. We have fun but I always look forward to seeing Mummy and Daddy after work in the evenings.

What other news...? Oh yes, yesterday I was sick on Daddy twice! I tried not to laugh... Poor Daddy.

I hope you are all well and see you soon... Bye bye...
