Some more pics of my baby brother!

Today my cousin, Aunty and Uncle came over to meet my baby brother Jacob and my Aunty took these lovely photos.

My Baby Brother Jacob Robert

Last Tuesday night my Mummy and Daddy had to leave me with my Aunty and rush off somewhere just as Mummy was putting me to bed. When I woke up in the morning Daddy was back but not Mummy and I wondered where she could be as she had never left me overnight before. Daddy put me in the car and we drove to Grandma's house and picked her up and then went to the hospital. When we got there I ran into a room and saw Mummy with a baby! He was very small and everyone seemed very interested in him, I was just pleased to see mummy and had a little nap in her bed! Mummy and Daddy told me that the baby is my little brother and that his name is Jacob. Later on we went home and baby Jacob came with us too. I got to ride in the front seat with Daddy so that mummy could sit in the back with Jacob. Jacob is ten days old now and I quite like having him around, although I now have to sleep in my own bed instead of Mummy and Daddy's because otherwise Jacob wakes me up in the night because he needs to drink lots of milk! I like to touch his head and stroke his hair as it is very soft but I won't kiss him! Mummy and Daddy keep encouraging me to kiss his head as they do but I just scrunch my nose up and shake my head replying "No!" I also like to touch his tummy and watch his arms go up in the air – that makes me laugh! Apart from that baby Jacob doesn’t do much at the moment except eat and sleep! I’m looking forward to the day when he can come out and play in the garden with me!

My 2nd Birthday!

This week I will turn 2 and I have had lots of fun! Last weekend I went to my Grandma and Grandad's house and we had an early birthday celebration with them and my Aunties and Uncles and my cousin. Then today I had all my friends around to my house along with my other Uncle and Aunt and Grandad. I have had so many new toys that mummy and daddy say we are running out of room in the house - and garage!! At my party today we played out in the garden on my new bike that my Uncle bought me and my other favourite toys - my car and tractor! We then had party food and chased bubbles around the garden - we all screamed with excitement and made all the mummys laugh! We then went indoors and played pass-the-parcel which Daddy didn't think would work - but we surprised him by being very grown up and passing it to eachother most of the time! I then opened some presents and then Daddy lit the number 2 candle on my car cake and everyone sang Happy Birthday to me and I blew out the candle all by myself! My friends had to go home then but soon my Grandad and Aunty arrived (so I got yet more presents - how lucky am I!). Grandad bought me a toy tractor with animals in it and I like it very much. Once everyone had gone home I had a bit of dinner (although I wasn't too hungry after snacking on party food all day!) and Daddy took me for a bath and then I was in bed asleep by 7.15pm as it had been such a fun and tiring day!

I LOVE TRACTORS!!!!

I just love tractors and this summer has been great as it has been full of action-packed tractor fun!!

It started off in Cornwall - I saw lots of them there and mummy bought me a toy tractor which is still one of my favourite toys. Then last weekend I went to visit my Grandad on his boat (boats are another passion of mine at the moment too!) and we saw a big old tractor by the side of the canal and mummy let me sit on it and hold the steering wheel! Then a few days later the children from next door brought around a ride-on tractor that they had grown out of and said that I could have it! I have owned my very own tractor about a week now and I go out on it every day (unless it's raining, I can say "Go away rain" now and that is one of my favourite phrases as I love to play out and hate it when it rains!). On Friday my friends India and Jake came round and we all played with my tractor in the garden - Mummy said I was very good to let them both have a go on it - I even pushed them along on it, and then I got in my car and tried to race Jake who was on the tractor! And finally, yesterday mummy and daddy took me to a farm park where there was an old tractor like the one by the canal as well as ride-on ones like mine - and the best bit of all was that we got to go on a real tractor ride! The farmer drove the tractor and we sat in a trailer on the back on hay bales - it was great fun and we got to see lots of animals too! There was some piglets that looked very cute and I ran over to them but then one of them squealed so loud that it gave me a fright and I was a bit suspicious of them after that! I loved the goats and the chickens as they reminded me of Cornwall - my favourite place to go on holiday!

My 3rd Holiday - Cornwall 2008

Last week I went to Cornwall for a week with my family. We stayed in a lovely cottage that had pygmy goats outside which we could feed, and chickens that came into the kitchen! There was lots of toys in the cottage for me and my cousin Dharma to play with and a great play area with a really fast slide! We did lots of sightseeing and saw lots of tractors on our journeys - which I nearly always spotted before everyone else and mummy bought me a toy tractor which is now one of my favourite toys! We went to a zoo, a castle, the beach, swimming and we also went on a steam train which I thought would be fun but it was actually quite frightening so I had to hug mummy for the whole journey! Mummy and Daddy said I had my first nightmare that night and they think it was due to the noisy train! I still love Thomas the Tank though and all his friends! Grandad took his model plane that I loved to look at but mummy said it was not a toy so I couldn't play with it and Daddy took a kite that he flew one evening in a nearby field - I thought it looked just like a plane and it was exciting to watch! I only had one ice cream on this holiday from the "man man" (as I call the ice cream man's van) when we went to the beach. I had a tummy bug for a few days and so mummy didn't think I should eat ice cream and treats like that - but I'm making up for it now I'm back at home as Mummy will usually treats me to a finger of fudge or milkbar buttons when we walk down to the Co-op most days! Next year mummy says we will probably go back to Cornwall with my baby brother - he is in her tummy at the moment and today when I prodded mummy's belly button something pushed back at me! I like to use mummy's bump as a pillow but I don't really understand when mummy and daddy keep telling me to be nice to my brother!?!

I Just LOVE Zoos!

I went to the zoo at the weekend with mummy, daddy, grandma, grandad, my aunties and uncles and my cousin. It was great fun, I saw lots of different animals really close up and I can't wait to go back there again.

I haven't posted for a long time because mummy has been too sad as my nana went to heaven a few months ago. I have a photo of her in my nursery and whenever mummy shows it to me I say "nana" because I remember her and I miss her. Mummy says that Nana would be so proud of me if she could see how well I can walk now, I hope that I don't forget her.

Another day at the zoo!

Last Friday we went to the zoo again (a different one from last time!). It was a very cold day but we still had fun and I saw lots of animals I had never seen before. When we first got there there were some monkjack deer (bottom pic)roaming in the grounds right by our car and later we saw wallabies hopping around too! Even mummy liked seeing them as she said she had never seen a wallaby before! My favourite animals were the lemurs (second pic) as they were fun to watch, and also the baby elephant that kept slipping over in the mud made me laugh! Also the seals were great fun as we got to see them swim underwater. Mummy and Daddy said that I would've loved the penguins but I was having my afternoon nap by the time we got to them! I had a lovely day and mummy said we would go back there in the summer when it was nice enough to sit outside and have a picnic lunch. That evening we stopped at my Nanna's house and I walked two steps from Mummy to Nanna! I'm learning to do lots more now like getting my hands on the TV changer and pointing it at the TV and I also pick up the phone and say hello into it - which made everyone laugh the other weekend when I was playing with Uncle James' mobile phone!
