I found an apple!

Mummy wondered what I was up to when I was quiet the other day! When she found me, I was sat in the hall with an apple I had found in Mummy's bag - I thought I was very clever to manage to eat as much as I did!

First Birthday and my First steps!

On my first birthday I surprised everyone by taking my first steps unaided. I just seemed to let go of the sofa and I was off! I only managed 2 or 3 steps each time but I was trying very hard!

Now I am One!

I had my first birthday a couple of weeks ago, and now I am One! I had a really lovely day. I opened my presents in the morning (with a bit of help from Harry and Sam) and then Mummy took Sam and I round to play with Oliver and Matthew whilst Harry was at school.

After school, Nanny, Grandad, Lisa, Abbie, Charlie, Ben and Hannah came round. We had a party tea and I had a caterpillar cake.

We all played lots in the garden and I had a wonderful day!

Stones in the garden

I don't know what it is, but I am attracted to any stones I can find when I am outside - wither in our garden or Nanny's. I drive Daddy mad by keep picking up all the stones from the flwoer pots and chucking them on the floor!

Fun in the garden!

At the beginning of July the weather has been really hot and Mummy has let us have the water slide out after school! I love water and am not afraid of getting splashed!

Weight Check: Week 49

Mummy finally got round to having me weighed again (the last time was when I was 33 weeks). She discovered that the baby clinic is at the Church on the Heath on thursday mornings where we do coffee with Lynn and Vicky. So, one morning (when I was 49 weeks and 2 days) she got me weighed. I am now 9.06kg, 19lb 15.5oz, which puts me a little bit below the 50th centile! Aren't I doing well!


As we finished the last Aptimal box Mummy put me onto cows milk now and after the first day of not being sure, I love it now! And Mummy loves no more sterlizing of bottles!!

My nephew Ben

I love my nephew Ben - he is the only one of our "gang" who is younger than me so I like to play with him in a simialr way I play with Buster (if only Lisa or Mummy would let me get my hands on him!)

My pal Buster!

I love our cat Buster! He is the biggest fluffiest cat ever and he lets me cuddle him all the time! He also lets me pull his fur, poke him and grab his tail - what a cool friend!

Is there room for two?!

Nanny has a new bubble car at her house which I like to play in. Unfortunately Sam likes to sit in it as well, usually when I am in it!

The sand table!

Mummy bought us some new sand for the sand table, and I love it! I love putting sand all over the grass and in my hair and down my top!

Alfie's Christening

Alfie had his Christening a month or so ago (which reminds Mummy she still has to arrange mine and Sam's!).

Sam and I got a bit bored in thr chuch and made some noise! After the service we went to the Queen's Head pub and there was a massive bouncy castle there. After having some lunch I got to have lots of bounces on it! Mummy and I also had our photo taken together!

Anything you can do......!

I am getting very clever now and I try and copy Harry and Sam all the time! Here is my latest trick, scaling the slide!

My second Haven holiday!

We were lucky enough to go on another Haven holiday earlier this year (May half term bank holiday). This time we went to Devon Sands (in Devon) with Lisa, Danny, Marie, Charlie, Abbie and Ben. We had a lovely big caravan and there was so much space I was able to sleep in the same bedroom as Mummy and Daddy (which Mummy was relieved about as she wasn't very happy about leaving me in the lounge!). All that practice of sleeping in a travel cot at Nanny's house was put put to good use and I behaved beautifully in my cot every night!

Our site had it's very own beach and we had great fun playing on the sand and eating our picnic lunch! We also did lots of swimming in the indoor pool, where I loved splashing! In the evenings we went to the clubhouse to watch the shows. Even though it was way past my bedtime I was a very good girl and was happy to sit in my buggy and watch everything going on. As stubborn as I am, I wouldn't go to sleep until we got back to the caravan though!

Going to my first birthday party

Sam and I were invited to a birthday party - it was for my friend Alice's first birthday. Mummy dressed us both up in our party clothes and we had a great time playing with Alice and a few of her other friends and lots of different toys! Mummy wasn't brave enough to let me have any cake though, as she thought I would get in a mess!

Big Girl's lunch!

Now that I have 6 teeth, Mummy has started giving me a "big girl's lunch" (i.e the same as what Sam has!). I much prefer this, even though it takes me ages to eat everything (I at least try everything on my plate and will eat cucumber and tomatoes, unlike Sam!) I make it very clear when I have finished as well since I throw everything on the floor, including my plate!

A new hat!

Mummy has managed to find me a summer hat which has straps, so now I can't keep pulling it off. Doesn't mean I don't try though and sometimes I get quite cross that I can't get it off!

I can stand up on my own (well against something!)

Mummy has got very behind with the blogs, so the dates don't really correspond to the posts, but it's still a record for the future!

I am just learning to pull myself up to standing - the is about May time, so I was about 10 months!
