Chatterbox.

Mummy and big sister were reading a story called Chatterbox by Margaret Wild the other night. It is about a baby who suddenly starts talking and then there is no stopping her. Big sister really enjoyed the story (so did i).


That story got me thinking, so the next night i decided i'd try and talk and impress everyone as much as the little girl in the book did.

Well i didn't do quite as well as she did but this week i have managed to start 'babbling' so i am feeling rather proud of myself.

'Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba' is what i have managed to acheive so far. Daddy keeps asking me to say 'da-da-da-da' but when i try it just comes out sounding like 'blah-blah-blah!' ;).

I have been trying really hard though and I make my new sounds whenever someone talks to me. Sometimes rather than my new sounds i just make a friendly scream or growl instead but big sister seems to be quite excited by any noise I make. She told Mummy that when i am a big girl i will use more words but i need to be a bit taller first. I look forward to that time, whenever it arrives!!! 

Garden Fun.

Mummy is not afraid to admit that she is not the garden type. Daddy enjoys keeping the garden tidy and for parts of the year he manages to have some flowers 'on show' but his lack of time and lack of green fingers (Mummy's words, Daddy, not mine!) means that the garden is normally tidy but will never be classed as beautiful.

                                            Here are the items Daddy brought to improve the garden.

However, as the weather was so beautiful last week, Daddy and big sister went out to do some gardening and to my delight Mummy decided her and i would join them in the garden.

                                             Here i am eager to start some gardening too.

Daddy and big sister had a great time planting some seeds, whereas Mummy and i watched them and did a bit of playing as well. It is the first time I have been out in the garden properly and the green stuff you can see in the picture feels really funny when i touched it. It didn't taste that good though!!

Silent Sunday

Saturday is caption day.

Mummy and Daddy were very amused by placing me in big sister's doll's pram - captions please!!!

Eyelashes.

Hello everyone.

Here Mummy is trying to take pictures specifically of my eyelashes!! Every single person who meets me for the first time comments on how long and beautiful my eyelashes are.


Mummy and Daddy remember people saying this about my big sister but no one else is able to remember thinking this but they believe that big sister does still have beautiful eyelashes but that they are more noticeable on a baby.


One nice lady told my Mummy that with eyelashes like mine, i will be able to use them to my advantage when i am older but i don't know what she might have meant.


So let me know what you think... Mummy's photography skills haven't helped much here but i'd love to know what you think of my eyelashes.

Silent Sunday

I'm on the move!!!

Guess what I did today for the first time..... I have decided that it is time to get moving so i have started crawling. When Mummy leaves the room i always get quite upset as i can't see where she has gone but now that i can crawl i have realised i can follow her wherever she goes.... it's great.


Look at me!!!!

                                                   Nothing is now out of my reach!!!! :)


I now have so many plans. The fireplace i've looked at for months was one of my first targets now that i can move. It has pieces of coal in, so today i had a little taste but it wasn't nice at all... not like the food that Mummy gives me when i'm in the highchair. Now I've tasted it I probably won't bother to go over there again, or that is what Mummy is hoping i think!


The world is my oyster!! My cousin is 9 weeks older than me and today she was showing me how good she is getting at walking. She conquered the crawling technique much earlier than i did though so i don't think i will have learnt how to be as clever as she is walking in the next 9 weeks but i will definately try my hardest!!


By the way if you are wondering why I haven't written for a while it is because of Mummy being back at work. She now doesn't always have the spare time she wants to let me get on the computer as often as i would like to. Hopefully Mummy's time management skills will improve as i really enjoy sharing all my latest news with all of you. She wrote me a letter letting me know what she felt about returning to work which you can read here.... To my dear little lady...


The other fear my Mummy had was that i would do something for the first time while she was at work... and this week that very nearly happened. Although i officially started crawling today, I have been having small goes at it since Wednesday. I took a few crawling steps each day since then but decided that rolling was easier. It was only today that i realised i can follow Mummy if i crawl so that is what i will do from now on!!


What new things have you been learning this week?
