Grandas have sisters too

We can't believe how many relatives we have. This is Granda's sister and we've heard we're going to meet nanny's sister tomorrow (we already met one of her sisters last week)

All this sea air

What a big appetite. The food is good here!

Out in the garden

Hangin' with Nanny

Perhaps with my watering can and matching my pyjamas I can make something grow in this pot that has no soil and no seeds in it...

So that's where they've been

There I was thinking they didn't want to play when all the time they were trapped inside this building they call school. Seems like it could be fun though.

Fun farm

Another lovely day so we all went to a farm which was lots of fun. I haven't stopped talking about the turkey and his funny nose since. I do a very good impersonation if I say so myself. Rabbits don't really make much noise but they're very cute!

Wonder who's older, the goat or Oscar...

He makes a lot of noise but he's too shy to show us the beautiful colours on his tail

Yay! More soft play.

Relocation

If you look closely enough it's amazing what you can find in the pond...

Granda and I found two frogs so we were on a mission to find them a nice home in the country.

I think they got a good deal! What job satisfaction.

Forget the fish

Uncle Wesley had an open day where lots of people were at his house to buy fish but the most exciting thing (in my opinion) was the big bouncy castle.

Looks like Daddy agrees

No more being contented with playing on the crash mat for me!

At last

I've been keeping them awake at night and finally they realised it was because my tummy has a hole in it. Finally they've found something to keep it happy! With soya milk too I'm really behaving myself and we almost don't need burp cloths now...almost!

Wacky Workshop

Losing ourselves under millions of balls.

A huge long slide was the star attraction for me.

Yum

My baking skills go from strength to strength. Who will help me eat my cakes I wonder?!

Water everywhere

I have to say I much prefer the baths over here - they're bigger and they're not pink! This smaller white one is lovely and warm but we went to a really big one with our cousins which was fun too once you got over the initial shock of the cold water and only a pair of swimming trunks for protection!
It's surprising how much you can get into the lockers at the swimming pool!

Monkey business

Sorry we're late this week. We decided that as it was only mummy and us in the house on Sunday evening we would see how hard we could make her work. But don't we look so innocent? What she doesn't realise is that it will only get worse in the years to come!

North West 200

Motorbike fever as this important roadrace comes to town.
I can feel my testosterone levels rising just being beside all these shiny bikes!

Sleep over

I have heard it said that Nanny is thinking of a sleep over for the 3 of us in this very bed. Perhaps it would be better called a no-sleep-over!

Mother and Toddlers

Paid a visit back to Mother and Toddlers for the first time since I was 10 months old. Didn't quite realise the honour bestowed upon me when I was given one of the few drums to play for the music slot.
Mummy has done well in keeping up with the M+T curriculum - there was only one song I couldn't sing along heartily with!

This is Oliver. Despite the negative body language we are friends... ...look, our friendship goes way back!
My first Rice Krispie bun. Enjoying mine while eyeing up the one beside me and wondering if I might be able to steal it too!

Hula hoops

Mummy has introduced me to the fun of eating Hula Hoops off your fingers. Now I think where all other methods are failing perhaps this could entertain me long enough to allow mummy to do her grocery shopping. Shame we don't have Hula Hoops in Mexico!

Coffee with Nena

We met up with Nena for a coffee

Little sticks to dip in chocolate. What a great idea.

I can tell Nena is going to spoil us! Glad she didn't steal any of my chocolate though!

Mummy's boy

I've done plenty of announcing what I think of Daddy. It's time to tell you how I feel about Mummy...

Clean bib. Won't be long before I need a new one!

Abi

Abi's mummy is my Daddy's cousin. My Mummy and Daddy are still figuring out what that makes her to me. Friends is good for me.
Seems she's got this weird thing about stroking ears though

Not sure I like it but not got the energy to move seats

Thankfully Abi gets told to stroke her own ear I know I've got my fingers and my blankie but if you tell me this ear stroking thing is worth doing then perhaps I could be convinced
Nosy cows! Wonder what their ears feel like... Bet Abi is wondering too.

Portstewart

Do you think we could take some of this sand back to Mexico?

Baywatch babe on a mission

Anyone who could employ me as the next face of BMW should talk to my agents

Who snoozes loses! Only two chairs and one should definitely be mine

Oscar's quick off the mark too. Poor Emily!
Vitamin D all round
Informal family shot

Ice cream

All this warm weather and our trips to the beach are perfect opportunities to enjoy some ice cream

Daddy thinks Oscar might like some too

Well everyone's got one so why shouldn't he?

My cousins' house

I've found the best place to play - my cousins' house. Uncle Wesley put up our very own bouncy castle and Oscar had a go. I have to admit, I was a little unsure whether I enjoyed it or not...
...but I had the best time bouncing on the crash mat!
A star should always have a chauffeur!
If I catch one can I eat it?
Before they eat me!
Another bouncy castle. Bigger this time!
But best of all - my cousins are there!
