Big Girl Food

Mummy found little diddy pasta shells for babies which are very cute

I love them and I am very proud of myself because I can eat them!

Mind you she went and put garlic in the tomato sauce and its a bit stinky...and a bit messy to boot, so its better to just enjoy the photo.

Getting ready for Mexico

¡Hola Amigos!
I can't see it but I know it's there Hey, who turned out the light?

Back at Nonie + Papi's house

It's hard enough to keep my eye on Teddy, Trio and Puddy Wud

but Nena brought along Tina as well. Teddy's fur is lovely and soft.

I wonder what his teeth feel like?What a lovely surprise. Abi came to visit.

I'm mobile but she's a rocket - I just can't keep up with her.

Got to do some more practising!

How pretty

Just showing off another delightful outfit and learning how to curtsey

My bedroom

Oh oh, I did it again.

Come and get me up some one!!
That's better.

Don't I look angelic with this backlighting?!

A New Game

Mummy laid out a challenge the other day. Now that I'm mobile she wanted to know once and for all which Blossom Farm animal is my favourite. Hmmmmmm...it's a tough one! Will it be Lavender Lamb?Nope! First place goes to Daisy Duck!

...but then there is Buttercup and she was the original...

...and then there's Dillon Donkey (who sounds asthmatic, poor thing).

Oh, this is so hard!

But hold on, what's this; a distraction?! That game was getting boring anyway

But the psychologist in mum wonders what would have happened if four identical animals had been offered. I think that's pointless but if Aunty Emma can secure £1million funding I might be persuaded to participate in the experiment!

Licking the plate clean

Now initially I would have told you not to bother with banana but now its a real hit.

Out in the garden

In my one-eyed car!

Yuk!!!!

No, I definately do not like Spinach!

Bleuach!

Learning from my big cousin Rebekah

What ARE you doing Rebekah?No, I won't open wide!

Nope, not gonna! Now don't get cross. We're getting through it, aren't we?!
Good job Rebekah! And hardly any mess!

Another new experience

A toothbrush? But I don't have hairs on my tooth!Well, I'll give it a go. Oh what's that?

Don't put too much on Aunty Lorna!

OK, that looks about right.

I'll do it in style - pinkie up.Oh, that tickles! ...but I'd better practice with the top row,

even though I don't have any teeth there yet.

Tiny book

Nanny just popped in and read to me from this teeny little book.

It was a short story, but a good one!

Helping with the housework

No, I'm too busy to smile. This floor's a mess!

Oh, ok, but make it quickMum! I can't find any bibsIts ok, no harm done.

But you should do something about the mess in here!

Ready for bed

I've had my bath, I'm in my pyjamas, I've had supper, my fingers are in position...

...so I'm ready for bed.

Not quite a TV dinner...

...but sometimes when I'm really hungry mum has to provide lots of things for me to do to keep my mind off my empty belly. I have to admit I don't have much patience when it comes to waiting for my grub.

Crawling

Well not quite, but given the right incentive (i.e. anything I can get my hands on!) I can make my way across the room in my own unique and ladylike style

So now when mummy comes to get me up I am usually at the top of the bed with my teddies strewn around me or on top of me

Cheek to cheek

Another lovely Granda cuddle!

Oh!

I almost forgot to tell you about my tooth. Can you see it?

Oh OK, here it is close up. I promise you, it is there!

It came a couple of weeks ago but I don't think I'm going to get any more.

Ireland

We found this lovely beach and went for a walk.

Then Daddy let me stand in the sea but its no fun I tell you.

Thank goodness for hot water at bath time!

It was a long drive but it was worth it for the view

My Spanish dress

Oooooo - look at me in my fancy tights!

OK, I'll be sensible.

Thank you Rafael and Laura for my beautiful outfit. I like it a lot!

Transport Museum

Having the best time with Daddy on this old trainIs it a bus, is it a car. During the taking of this picture mum detected the familiar smell of a dirty nappy...yes it was true. But I hadn't finished yet so as I lay in my pram in the middle of the transport museum I finished the business. Mum laughed a lot. Dad sighed a lot and I screeched a lot as I discovered the great acoustics and had a great time listening to myself. The main thing is just to keep smiling!
Well, its hard to smile when you're hanging rather precariously!
That's better. Clean + warm + secure = happy!
