Xmas parties

Hello people,

Sorry there has been a bit of a hiatis on the blog. With all these "festive season" events, I haven't had time to scratch myself.

I had better start at the first party - my Mums group Christmas party. It was great. I played, and played, and played. And then Santa "Jo" gave me a present!!

Here are some shots of me playing.

Here is Walter. Walter is great - he smiles a lot and has red hair. I like the colour red.


This is Luke and Walter. I am explaining to them how to shake this rattle... not that I am bossy or overbearing :)

 

Waving, not drowning...

Hi people,

I have finally worked out this waving thing. But its pretty random, I only seem inclined to wave to Grandpa. Baby's perogative, eh?

 

Now, walking?

Hello!


Of late, I've been trying to get up on my legs. But I'm not having much success...mmmmm



Kneeling is pretty good though!!

 

CRAWLING!!! YES!!!

Well people - I'm mobile and proud of it. Did you know, without any help from grown ups I can....

escape my bedroom...


get into Mum and Dad's room and try to move their bed around (Mum's note - what is that about?)


get to the bottom of the stairs (Mum's note - stair gate is being installed asap!!)

and... get the remote controls from the middle of the coffee table... life is too good...
 

Aunty Ilma

I had the pleasure of meeting my Aunty Ilma not long ago. We had much fun together... although she kept threatening to take some of my curls back to Newcastle... can she do that?

 

Hustle and bustle...

Hey people

This Christmas season thing can be a bit busy, eh? I have barely had time to sit idly on my mat, for all the comings and goings, functions, parties, and shopping that must be attended to. This has been compounded by the fact that I have, from 8 months, been crawling everywhere. This crawling thing is fantastic, but more on that later.



I must tell you about my new favourite toy - Cookie Monster. Whenever I have CM, I must shake him within an inch of his life, just to show that I love him the most!



Oh, and in case I haven't said this before, I really do love crawling...

 

Big cousins

Here I am with cousin Isobel and Antonia.

Phew, too much fun, must have a...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

My Uncle David

This is me and my Uncle David. He likes to pull funny faces. I like to play the straight guy...



Uncle David also has funny food that I have never tried before... its from a nice man called Simon Johnson... anyway, I was eating my rusk, and Uncle David thought it might taste better with some quince paste...



Uncle David was right - it does taste better... Now let me try the spelt crisp bread, and perhaps a bit of Stilton...

 

Washing day...

No Mum, I am not dragging the clothes out of the basket....


Would this face lie to you?
 

My first Kids Xmas Party...

This is me, fighting for what is rightfully mine... hands off Kiefer!!



No Mum, I'm not tired...



Thanks Dad - you are a life saver. That wrapping paper was a bit stubborn...



No Mum, REALLY NOT TIRED....

 

Playing with Aunty Alex...

 

Helping Mum again...
