Our Holiday in Cornwall

We had a lovely week in Cornwall. I went to the beach; on coastal walks (I went in a rucksack on daddy's back!); a country park and visited some towns - Truro, St.Ives, Helston, and Newquay. The first beach I went to was Fistral Beach in Newquay. My great Aunty Vicky, Uncle James and Aunty Sam went surfing while me, mummy and daddy stayed on the beach and played in the sand. I loved the feel of the sand between my fingers and on my feet and I tried not to put it in my mouth as mummy told me not to! I'm looking forward to next year when I will be walking so I'll be able to run along the sand and paddle in the sea! We also went to the beach at Perranporth where Uncle James built some sand castles for me - next year I will make my own!

We stayed in a lovely cottage which had a swimming pool. I went in it twice but it was too chilly for me to stay in long even though I did have my wetsuit on! I had my own cot and high chair while I stayed there and there was even a playroom with a TV and videos and I went in there to watch one of favourite shows the Teletubbies in the morning (my favourite bit is the baby in the sun - he always makes me giggle!). There was also some cows and calves in the field next to our cottage and it was fun to watch the mummy cows drinking water out of an old bath and the calves were drinking milk from their mummies.

While on holiday in Cornwall I cut my seventh tooth and I learnt to wave! When mummy or daddy wave at me and say hello I can now wave back at them! I'm learning to do it to all my family and friends now. I've started to copy mummy and daddy more and more now - like when they stick out their tongue I stick mine out at them, and when daddy turns his head to one side I can turn mine too! I also recognise my name and respond if mummy or daddy call me Finn, Finny or Fintan (if I'm naughty!), and mummy says that I should recognise the word 'No' by now - and I sort of do, but sometimes I don't!
