I Am 1 !

It was my birthday on Sunday so I am now 1 years old! On Saturday I had party and all my friends plus some of my family came over. The weather was good so we were able to sit outside to have our lunch - it was great fun! Mummy made me a cake with 5 little ducks on as this was always my favourite song when I was really little! Mummy let me open all the presents that I got from my guests on Saturday - I got lots of great toys, including a trampoline! I have some good photos to show you - some are courtesy of my Aunty Kate and Aunty Mel. Then on Sunday the rest of my family came over and we went out for a nice meal and I got more presents! I was such a lucky boy and had the best weekend ever!

My new friend, baby Nelia

Today we went around to Mummy's friend's house to see her newborn baby! Her name is Nelia Eden and she is very cute! I was a bit disappointed that she couldn't play with me but mummy said that she would be able to when she is bigger as she is very small at the moment and just wants to eat and sleep!

A fun weekend and some good news...

On Saturday my Grandma and Grandad came around to visit me. We went to a farmer's market and a garden centre where I saw some fish and had my lunch. Then we went home and I demonstrated my unique crawling style. I don't quite crawl properly, I do an army-style crawl - much cooler! It is hard work but I'm getting about really well - I especially like to go and pull the sky card out of the box and I can even pull myself onto my feet using my toy box as support - it will not be long before I'm getting about on my feet - that's when the fun will start!

On Sunday I saw my Great Nanna and Great Aunty Vicky for the day. We went down to a pub and I sat on a play horse that is no longer in action but mummy said she used to go on it when she was little and it was red then and lived on the village green on the playground! We also saw some morris dancers and I sat on Nanna's lap and liked bobbing to the music! I even went in to the pub to watch a bit of footie with Daddy!

My mummy told me about some wonderful news yesterday. Her best friend from school has just had a little girl! She weighed 7lb and they have called her Nelia. We are going around to see her on Wednesday so I might be able to get a photo of her!

My First Summer.

Mummy says that the weather hasn't been great this summer but I don't mind as I find it hard to sleep when it is too hot! Last week it was nice enough to have my sun tent up in the garden and my friends Jake and Leyton came over. Then the next day I was back in my jeans and jumper as it wasn't as warm! On Sunday we went out for a bike ride. I went in my trailer on the back of Daddy's bike. It was great fun! We cycled all the way to our nearest country park where there is a big lake. Mummy and Daddy had an ice cream and I had a bit of Daddy's flake - mummy said that I could have an ice cream when I was a bit older when I would have my very own bike to ride too!

My Great Grandad

On Tuesday my Great Grandad passed away. He was quite old and I only met him once when I was 3 months old. On Friday we went to his funeral and it was very sad, but it was nice to see my Great Nanny, Aunty Vicky, Uncle Gary and Aunty Sue and second cousins, Amy and Ben, and of course, Uncle James and Aunty Sam.

My First Word!

I said my first word last Thursday! It was "Mamma"! Mummy and Daddy laugh and look at me each time I say it! I can also say "Baabaa" but I'm still working on "Dadda"! Some days I forget that I can talk and then other days I can't keep quiet and I just go "Mammamamma...." and it's really good fun!

This photo was taken today at Aunty Lucy's - I tried on her sunglasses and tried out her new stokke cot!

A day out at Aunty Kate and Uncle Gary's

On Saturday me, Mummy, Daddy, Grandma and Grandad all travelled down to Southampton to visit my Aunty Kate and Uncle Gary. We had a lovely day despite the weather! We went out for a nice meal (well I had mine before and then had breadsticks and juice at the restaurant!) and then we went back to Aunty Kate and Uncle Gary's house and I saw their cat - she was cute, and then I played with my toys in their lounge! I've learnt to clap now and I laugh when anyone says, "Ready...steady...GO!"
