Your place and mine

I just couldn't wait until Sunday to tell you about the coolest thing I did on Monday with my friend Romilly. Our friendship is very special because our mummies and daddies have been great friends since they lived in Scotland (I don't remember back then!) and Romilly is just 11 days older than me. The only problem is that we don't get to play together much because Romilly lives in the US. This is the last time we were together!
So our clever mummies got to work on a plan to make the best of a bad situation. First of all Romilly sent me a fabby top the same as one of hers and her mummy had the great idea that we could plan a cyber date i.e. we would do similar things on the same day, record it all in photos and video and catch up later on how it was for both of us.

We started out with a craft. We made a photo frame and we'll send our finished pieces to each other. I had fun with some artistic liberty...

Here are Pippa and Romilly busy at work

And here's my finished product. Shame I can't go to Philadelphia with the frame...

Next we were going to go to the park for a picnic which would have been lovely but thanks to a bad weather forecast up north it turned out even better. And it was cold in Mexico City too. Can you believe it! It was definitely meant to be!


The best part of MacDonalds is the play area of course and I had a LOT of fun

Looks like Romilly and Pippa did too!

Then it was back home but the fun wasn't over. I just love jelly and ice cream. And Romilly, my mummy says to listen to your Daddy on this one - it's jelly, not Jello! I'm too busy to smile! Oh, and I got my bruise falling off the chair onto a table. Silly table always gets in the way!


So I had lots of fun and slept incredibly well that night for some reason. It could only have been more fun if we had actually been in the same place but I was thinking of you Ro, and look - Ronald MacDonald even did his best to make me feel like you were there. Having fun with Ro!

So next time I might be in Northern Ireland. I'm going there tomorrow. Can't wait to do this again!

Keeping busy

Don't mock - there's serious fat layering going on here!

Aransa

My friend Aransa came over this week and as usual we played with my toys while our mummies chatted too much!

More activity

This week I did lots of symmetrical paintings. The best part is peeling the paper apart after you've folded it together.
A tea party for my teddies with proper drinks and diced fruit.

Is it a sock or a puppet?

Someone gave me this and said it was a puppet but I'm sure it's a sock...and where's it's match?

Out for tea

We had to wait until I was better before we went out for tea. Nanny's treat and chosen for my benefit because it has the best playframe. I was so busy playing I didn't actually eat too much.

Doing things together

All my baby cousins seem to enjoy Praise Baby. Tabitha allowed me to watch her DVD this week to see what they're all raving about.
I like doing things together but I wish she'd give me more Play Doh

Fun with nanny

I'm not sure who's having more fun in this photo shoot. Nanny...
...or me. It's just too funny!

Tia Margaret and Tia Robin

(Just to remind you, Tia means 'Aunty' in Spanish.)
Tia Margaret and Tia Robin live just around the corner and we love them so much. They make us smile and Tabitha cries lots when they leave. They're both great at helping me to burp and we could chat for hours about all kinds of things.
Hey Tabitha, whatcha doin?
Tia Robin, where were you the other day when we wanted you in our photo?
I really don't mind a good dose of MMR - Mum, Margaret and Robin
Finally all four of us!
Thank you Tia Margaret and Tia Robin for being such fantastic friends!

Climbers

I like to hold on to the edge of people's clothes and mummy was wondering if I'm going to be like my big sister and need a blankie. Actually I've been watching her...
...I've seen her climbing and I'm practicing holding on so one day I can join her in her dangerous pursuits.

Our park!

We've been showing Nanny some of my favourite spots so the park at the lake was a must. Best of all we met up with the MacKinnons.
There's always room for another person on the tyre swing!
This guy had a big block of ice which he made into slush puppies (that's what mummy says they're called in Britain!) for us.
The next day I got another ice pop but I wasn't feeling so good. I had a fever for a couple of days which went up to 103.5 at one point and I was sick a couple of times.
Thankfully I feel much better now.

My Daddy

Why learn to talk when a bib says it all. Daddy went to a toy market this week and bought me this cool jangly ball. I think it's maybe a punch ball!
Hi Daddy! I want to tell you about this really cool picture that my cousins Rebekah and Hannah made me...
They drew all these animals all by themselves. Isn't it so cool. It's perfect for my Noah's Ark room. Thank you for working so hard Rebekah and Hannah!

Where's Nanny?

We need a third generation...

Sunday

On our way to church...
My friend Zawly (Sao-lee) is just two months older than me and we have a great time every Sunday.

Another new image

Hat - Daddy, shoes - Nanny, swimsuit - I'm not sure...
Outfit - another Tabitha original

Best used pool award!

Ouuu, it's cold!
Definitely more fun when you just jump in in your clothes
I'm getting all wet!
Really wet!
Ha - time to get mummy wet too!

Shopping

Looking for cool things at the market

Let's get to work

OK Nanny, that's enough sitting around, what shall we do now?
Some Postman Pat buns. That sounds like fun.
You put on the icing (frosting), I'll put on the decoration
And don't worry, I'll clean up the mess!
Pretty flowers for mummy.
This is the day my teddies went to school...and I was their teacher!
