The Funniest Thing

Please excuse the mess of our house... we are still unpacking. But you've got to see the fun that can be had playing 'I get you' (and this is only a fraction of the giggling that went on!).

Finally

I'm nearly 6 months old and I finally got to sleep in my own bed in my very own room! No more being kept awake by mummy and daddy!

My friends

I've prayed for Maddie, Joshie and Ethan every night so it was great to see them again.

Left luggage

This is all very well but I think I prefer the Loola!

Trip to camp

We visited camp to say goodbye to Rebekah and Hannah. Andrew and Chia were there too.

Thomas

Please tell me we're not going to Mexico on this!

It's an awfully long way away...

So good!

Oh why do all good things come to an end?

Papi

No really Papi, I promise not to puke all over you!

If I do this do I look like Papi?

Shopping trip

Come aboard - there's always room for more!

Oscar's awake

I woke up from my nap and what do you think - Oscar was awake as well so we had a chat until mum came to get us both.

More cake

Just when you think everyone has had their birthday there's another reason to celebrate and blow out the candles. Happy birthday Nonnie!

I want some please...

That looks nice Dad. Can I have some?

On I guess a rusk will do fine

It's a bit messy though isn't it?

Trip to Barry's

Anyone who has ever been to Portrush will know that Barry's is a necessary visit. So that's why we had to go!

Look at these gizmos. Which one is the ejector seat Dad?

Small circular waves to my fans

Either this guy's had too much to drink or too many kids pulling his nose!

I get around...

I'm not sure whether it was the air or the food but something in N. Ireland got me moving!
Not long until I can play 'I get you' with Tabitha...

So relaxing

Fun and relaxing at the same time

Wakey wakey

What have I been missing?

Wind power

Don't worry Hannah, I promise to not let it fall on you.

Lovely

Smells good enough to eat!

Out with our cousins

A trip to Waterworld - the coolest pool I have ever seen!

Cheeky chimps. It's the name of the place but quite appropriate don't you think?

We practically had the place to ourselves. I couldn't even find the spider...

The handsome prince and his noble steed.

Solids

I'm eating solids now and I like the look of that scone Aunty Lorna

When I grow up...

Maybe I'll be like Aunty Emma (I've got the shirt!)...

...or maybe I'll be just like Granda!

Aunty Emma

I finally got to meet Aunty Emma and Uncle Renato. That's the family circle now I think.

Another lovely day for ice cream on the beach

Aunty Emma brought everyone books. A woman after our own hearts!

Jelly on the Plate

Hannah's learning to play the piano. I'm learning to sing. Together we make a great team.

Bed time

Teddy and I are feeling a little sleepy

Time for bed I think

Kiss in the park

Kiss for Daddy

Yummy Mummy

Playing 'I eat you'

Big boy

Why am I still in this baby chair?

Look, I can sit up by myself...

...and I can hold on to the furniture with my mouth!

Poster for Nonnie and Papi

This week we made a special picture which meant getting our hands and feet dirty.

There! All the grandchildren on the canvas.

Birthday week

Today is Aunty Caroline's birthday. It marks the end of a week of birthdays.

First there was mummy's...

...Then there was Rebekah's...

(with a bouncy castle)

(Daddies with their firstborn girls)

...then it was Nena's...

Getting all the great grandchildren together was a noisy and rather frightening affair!

So we're all partied out...but we definitely know how to sing 'Happy Birthday'

Not quite playing

Tabitha is just loving having lots of friends to play with but there are times when Oscar is the only option. Unfortunately he's not quite as energetic as most of her play friends which leads to some frustration. Ah well, he'll be walking before too long and then they'll be great friends!

(she calls the soother a bo-go)

Bedtime prayers

Tabitha always likes to pray before going to bed. Her prayers are an interesting mix of things she sees around her in the room and things or people she has seen during the day. The video just before bed time was Charlotte's web...

Our cousin Sam

For now I'm looking up to you Sam...

...but I'm practicing sitting up. Look, it's all about sucking hard enough on mummy's finger!
Making music with Sam. We've been waiting for months to see you in real life!
