X Factor

Saturday means X Factor. I like to follow online.
I'm quite sure I have the X factor whatever that is...

Sales

Yesterday we went with Aranza and her mummy to a factory shop where the clothes were half price. We decided we wanted these trousers. Our mummies didn't agree but wait 'til you see my gorgeous Christmas dress!

O Christmas Tree

When mummy saw this empty spool at Tia Margaret's house it gave her an idea...

And now I have my very own Christmas tree!

Thanksgiving

Last week we all got together again.
In Mexico you always give the ladies a kiss on the cheek when you say hello (oops, missed!).

A big meal...for which we were very thankful. Everyone seemed thankful for lots of things.

Now we're talking... real boys toys!

Exploring

I think I found a spot I haven't been into yet.

Blankie

Sadly we left one half of my blankie at the airport last week. It takes an awfully long time to wash and dry blankie so I was glad to finally get it out of the dryer.
I'm sure it's stressful for us both.

Two toothbrushes

I hate to think how much work this will be when I have my full complement of teeth.

My week...

Well, my hair keeps on growing and is beginning to get a little out of control.
Soon be time for haircut number 2!

A flying visit

My bed got moved into Oscar's room and I was back on the airbed again!

Here's why - Aunty Emma showed up!

We went out for tacos and I ate more tortillas than anyone - I love them!

All full up.

Duet

Tabitha knows how to turn the piano on so we spend many a happy moment playing together. She always seems to get the chair though!

Pyramids

How to feel very small!

On top of the world with Daddy...

and Aunty Emma.

Last time I was here I was inside mummy's tummy!

Shopping for hats is not really my thing but I enjoy the company.

Hats

I think I got my hat-liking gene from Aunty Emma!

Cutting teeth

Look what popped out - another tooth - just when I was beginning to despair of ever seeing any more

So I think I'm ready to help myself to the contents of the fridge with the help of my sister who opens the door for me!

Crusty

3 for 1 pizza night and all I get is the crust.
And to make things worse they put the left overs in the freezer.

Still busy

Counting the dots on the page and finding the right number of counters to match.
Taxing stuff!

4 sessions of activities to make lovely angels for Nonnie and Nanny's Christmas trees.

Notice Daddy's work in progress in the background. He's carving 3 Wise Men out of some logs he cut off our tree!

There are so many firsts!

Daddy is very, very excited. He brought a tree out of a box yesterday.
I think he said something about money's worth...

I have a feeling this is going to be fun.

I believe this toy comes with a rather special story.

Ooo, why do you suppose most of the decorations are higher up?

Do you know mum?

Ah well, I guess I'll settle for pulling the wooden ones off until I'm a little taller.

A satisfying noise

Wooden fish. You can eat them or whack them off the metal heater.
Either way they're great.

Tia Margaret's back!

Tia Margaret was away for a while but she's back now.
I was so delighted to see her I gave her lots of big cuddles.

What is there to eat?

Tabitha made this pizza... with ham, pineapple and green pepper topping.

Personally I'm enjoying french toast...

and better yet, a chocolate chip cookie meant for Tabitha. Finders keepers!

Musical Taste

I like music.
I haven't decided my preferred style, it's all good, even when Tabitha keeps changing the tune...

Playing?

I meet any attention from Tabitha with delight, even tough at times she can be a little rough!

Bagheera

This week we have the heavy responsibility of keeping Bagheera happy until Tia Margaret gets back. It starts by finding him and chatting for a while...

Then I know the way to any man's heart!

See - look at that happy boy!

I can do this

Getting up is easy but for some reason mum's been teaching me how to get down.
Why would I want to do that?

Some for me...

Oh, you caught me eating again

This time it's cheesecake

But I'm willing to share

In fact I'm really good at sharing with Oscar.
Apparently he likes tea as much as I do.

In and out

It looks like things are happening in the plant pots.

Mummy hid things under the foil but I could figure out what they were when I rubbed them. The coins were my favourite.

Sponges and brushes. How would you interpret it?

Doctor Tabitha

Daddy was sick recently so I thought I'd help him get better.

A remarkable recovery. Looks like I'm cut out for this!
