About time for a new entry

Thu, 22 Feb 2007 12:05:35 +0000

Well, I haven’t updated this for a while, but so much has happened. The most exciting thing was going to Australia in December, I got to meet all my family and experience what it was like to live in a BIG house with lots of room to crawl around and a backyard to play in. My family were great fun and gave me lots of cuddles and also some presents! I got to go to the beach with my Nannie and swim in the ocean. The sand felt funny when I squeezed it in my hands. I got to play in the grass in Yarrawonga with Auntie Shirl and Uncle Joe, they have a great big grassy area to play on. When we got back to London it was Christmas time, we went to my friend Gemma’s house and I got more presents! I was a bit tired. In January we went to Wales for Matt and Emma’s wedding, I got to wear a suit and stay in a hotel. I also got more presents!!!! In February Mummy went back to work and I started going to nursery. I go 3 days a week and have lots of fun! I love playing in the ball pit and with all the different toys. I made Mummy and Daddy a heart with my hand print on it for Valentines day (with some help from my carers). 2 weeks ago we went to Battersea Children’s Zoo and I go to see some ducks, birds, ponies, goats, sheep and other animals. I spend the rest of my time walking behind my walker and playing with my toys.

I’m 6 months old

On Sunday I turned 6 months. Time has gone very fast since my last entry, I’m now eating real food in my new high chair and “crawling” around. A couple of weeks ago I went on my first holiday, mum took me to Lulworth Cove in Dorset with her friend Melissa and my friend Gemma, the daddys came along for the weekend. I got to see the beach and we went to Monkey World. To celebrate my 6 months mum and dad took me to the park and I got to go on a swing. Check out my new photos.

Transformed Wheels

On the weekend Daddy transformed my wheels into sit-up mode. Now I can see all around me as I cruise along. On my first ride I was so comfy I fell asleep! The other big news is today I rolled over for the first time. With a bit more practise I’ll be rolling everywhere!

I met my cousin!

This week I met my cousin Ben, who is visiting from Australia. He bought me a singing donkey! He is the closest relative I have met, so far, besides Mum & Dad of course. I can’t wait to meet the rest of my family in December!

I’m swimming!

Hi everyone! I am now 15 weeks old, and guess what? I’ve started swimming! I had my first swimming lesson today - under the water and out again, I loved it. I’ve got more lessons in the next few weeks. I’ve been keeping busy. I discovered that my hands can grab toys and rattles which is so cool. I love playing on my front now, everything looks different from this new angle. I can also roll on my side and almost make it to my front. My arms seem to get in the way, but I’m sure I’ll do it very soon!

6 weeks old!

I am 6 weeks old today. Boy does time go fast when you are as busy as I am. Eating and sleeping take up a lot of my time, but whenever I can I like to play on my gym mat with all my toys around me, as you can see in the photo. See more photos from the past 6 weeks.

Home!

Mummy and I came home from hospital today. I have a nice little home with a cool bed I can ride around in and lots of fun toys! In the photo I am still sleeping in my car seat and big jacket after my ride home.
