Happy Halloween!!!

Trick or Treat!

I am a very lucky boy, Uncle Roger and Auntie 'laire sent me a new T shirt that says 'Mummy's little Pumpkin' on it and some pumpkin socks and Daddy carved me my very own pumpkin which we hung up outside so we had LOADS of trick or treaters, Daddy says he'll take me when I'm big enough

thats all for now

Mum's gone to Starbucks...

Out and about today with Mummy, Auntie Heidi, Robert Nick and Alex. The boys all headed off down the Nottingham caves but I'm too small so I had to tag along to Starbucks with Mummy and Auntie Heidi while they had a good gossip I decided it was a great opportunity for me to enjoy a nice nap while they talked about girl's stuff - good practice for the future I think!

Love

Houseful!

Hey guys,

2 of my cousins, Nick and Alex have come to stay and meet me for the first time with Auntie Heidi and Uncle Robert. Nick and Alex are staying in my room as I am still content to have my crib in Mummy and Daddy's room.

I love looking at my cousins and pulling faces to make them laugh!

They all took me out for a nice long stroll to give mummy and daddy a rest (poor mummy is pooped and Daddy has the flu!) they were much happier campers when we got back and I had a lovely long snooze!

Catch you later

love

How can wet be dry?

Greetings,

Tonight was my official headwetting... so how come I managed to stay dry?

Daddy went to the beer festival with a whole bunch of people to celebrate me while I stayed home and had lots of cuddles with Mummy. Perfect!

I am now the proud owner of an official Nottingham Beer Festival 2004 glass with my name engraved on it - cool! Just think, in 18 years time I'll be able to go to the festival with Mummy and Daddy - that will be 2022!

Bye for now

A very well soaked but strangely still dry

Payback time...

Hi Folks,

today was baby group again and this time it was Mummy's turn to be treated as the nice lady from Synergy (Mummy's favourite beauty salon) in Bingham caqme in to give all the mums a hand and arm massage. I managed to stay quiet for the time it took Mummy to have her turn, which I think she must have appreciated because she returned the favour by giving my my favourite baby massage before bed tonight... must remember to be good more often!

We even managed to get to baby group on time again... in fact we were a bit early... at last I think we are getting the hang of this family lark!

Anyhow, off for a snooze now

love

Izzy Wizzy's Birthday

Hello,

well today is a special day on 2 counts... It's my little mate Izzy Clark's first birthday-so HAPPY BIRTHDAY IZZY WIZZY!!!!!!!!!!

And... wait for it... wait for it... I am now officially ONE MONTH OLD!!!! Hurrah! Oh, and I smiled for the first time today... at Daddy, much to Mummy's disgust - after all she's the one who feeds me etc etc all she ever sees is me smiling because I have wind! Anyhow she's not too upset, I know this because she still gives me lots of cuddles and she's glad that Daddy saw me smile at the weekend because he misses me so much when he's in London.

We had a family expedition into Nottingham this afternoon - never again - it was soooo busy and to top it all we lost count of the number of people that didn't have prams (or any other reason to use the lifts instead of the escalators) but jumped the queue to get in the lift ahead of us in John Lewis... Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Climbing off my little soapbox now

Baby Massage

Greetings peeps

Today Mummy and I went to post natal group to learn how to do baby massage - and I actually managed not to poop myself just as we were on our way out - so we even made it into Bingham on time -a huge achievement I can tell you!!!

Anyhow, when we got there I was bright and alert and ready for anything but by the time it came to actually massage me I decided it was noshy time and then I needed a big snooze, so I decided to give it a miss! Poor Mummy just had to watch from the sidelines along with Tracy and Sienna (who had the same idea as me - a girl after my own heart!) but at least she got to learn the theory so we could give it a go this evening.

When we did eventually get around to trying it out before bedtime I decided it was a very lovely thing to do and had a good long snooze to celebrate!!!

Big Brother is 3 Today!!!

Hi Folks

Today is my honourary big bro's 3rd Birthday... so Happy Birthday Huxley!!! Daddy made chocolate brownies in his honour and he was allowed to have 2 as a special treat. He had cards from us, Nanny and his brothers and sisters and chicken from Granny and Grandpa... Birthdays seem like a lot of fun, can't wait til I have one!

Yesterday Daddy and Grandpa took him to the vets again and he is doing really well since his operation and now he has to go swimming twice a week... I wonder if he'll need armbands!?!

Last night I decided that being fed every 3 hours was not often enough so I decided to up the frequency to every 1.5 hours and really wear Mummy out... then I decided at 8am to give in and let her have a snooze and Daddy made her a bacon sandwich and cup of tea to have in bed which made her very smiley - or it might just have been wind!

Thats all for now

Love

Milestone of the day...

It's official I can now hold my head up unaided, always useful when I'm looking for the cute vote after an afternoon of screaming my head off!!!!!!

Postnatal Pals

Well, today we went to the postnatal group in Bingham so Mummy could get a bit of adult conversation!

We were all ready to go when I pooped my pants and then decided Mummy needed a shower... so we both ended up having a complete change of clothes before we could set off. Oh well at least being 20 minutes late meant I could make a dramatic entrance! (even if I was sleeping like an angel when we arrived!)

I was very well behaved for a little dude, I just snoozed my way through most of it while they all talked about girls stuff ... LALALALA (as Daddy would say!)

Anyhow its baby massage next week so I think I'll try a bit harder to be on time.... wouldn't want to miss anything important!!!!!!

That's quite enough exertion for one day so I'm off now

Love

Growing up big and strong...

Well folks,

The Health Visitor came to visit me and Mummy today, and I am happy to report that all the noshing I've been doing has resulted in a superb weight gain of 10 ounces... Everything else is fine too, everything in its right place - as some bloke from Radiohead once said.

This afternoon we went on our first adventure in the car without Daddy and with my pram, Mummy managed marvellously and I resisted the temptation to scream my head off in Boots. So that's Bingham cracked, you never know we might make it all the way to Radcliffe by the end of the week!

So thats my day, just having a nap to recover, hope yours has been eventful too

Love

Little Man has had a busy few days...

Aftynoon everyone,

Well, what a few days... On Friday Charlotte and David came for a visit to keep me and Mummy company while Daddy went back to work - even if he was just upstairs, we still missed him. I had some lovely new clothes and lots of cuddles. My Pooh Bear baby bouncer arrived today too, so my favourite hobby is now sitting in it and batting Tigger with my hand - hours of fun!!!

Uncle Kieron, Laura and Marcello came to visit after tea, I was very sleepy by then.

On Saturday morning Chak, Sazzle and Izzy dropped by with some more cool new clothes - I really am spoilt, Izzy is nearly one now and full of smiles, so I hope she'll be my friend when I am older even if I will be a toy boy!!!

Grandpa and Uncle Dommy came over and finished Huxley's step so he can now get out in the garden safely, Uncle Kizzy helped with it on Friday, thanks guys, I hope we can build stuff together when I am bigger.

Now I am having a snoozy Sunday with Mummy and Daddy, lovely, with millions of Daddy cuddles because he goes back to London tomorrow, I'm going to miss him, and can't wait til he comes home on Thursday, Mummy will miss all her cups of tea too!

Anyhow, noshy time again!

Catch you later

Love
