That's neat, that's neat, that's neat....

WALKING!
IT'S EASY!
When I feel like it......
I'm getting about quite well now on my own two feet without holding on! Sometimes though, it is just quicker to crawl.
My manky old dry skinned back seems to be a bit better at the moment too, which is nice as I don't have to scratch quite so much.
We went out for a picnic on Sunday evening:

Here I am starting on my sarnie....

Here I am mid-way through the sarnie....

Here I am off for a jaunt accross the common....

And here's mum cleaning the wet cow pat from the underside of my car. Dad wasn't very happy about it the miserable old git but Mum got it all off with the aid of 274 wet wipes and a pointy stick.
Well it's that time again, we're off to Cornwall for two whole weeks this coming Friday so there'll be no update next week or the week after but expect a special bumper photo extravaganza in the near future.
The first week i'll only have mum and dad for company, but the full gang are on board for the second week so that'll be really smart!

Phew what a scorcher!

How's it going?
The weathers been pretty warm hasn't it?
Had a busy few days recently. Mum and Dad went out on friday night so Andy came round to look after me, so that was good fun.
On saturday, mum went to work so dad made a picnic and we met her in the park for lunch. I ate loads of strawberries and made sure I smeared the cream into dad's fresh black t-shirt and mum's smart work skirt.
They went out again saturday night so Nanny came over with her handbag...that means chocolate!
On sunday it was fathers day! I got him a very 'pudding heavy' cook book to keep me and mum happy and a bike DVD to keep him queit.
They got my paddling pool out for me to cool off:

It was a bit cold at first but I soon got into it. They did let me have loads of toys in it as well although they aren't in the picture. Later on all the usual suspects came over for a barbecue and poker. Auntie Hanna cleared it with mum and dad so I could get back in the pool even though they had changed me and I had a proper nappy on, not a swimming one. By the time i'd been in there a while I could barely move because the nappy had absorbed so much water, it weighed a ton.
I got put to bed before the cards started, I was having none of that! I cried for ages until they gave in, mum took me out onto the patio where they were playing until way past my bedtime. It was okay though as I didn't have to get up for nursery on Monday.
Mum was off again on Monday, so I slept for Britain. When dad got home we had lunch and then I played in the sandpit. It would probably be more accurate to call it just a 'pit' now as I manged to excavate most of the sand onto the lawn....
Mum was a bit worried about me at nursery since i've gone up a room, but today I was well up for it and was my usual keen, smiley self again.
Until next time.....keep filling your pants and get someone else to change it!
Ned.

Hmmmmm....

Well hello once again!
A bit more back to normal this week, no trips away or anything.
Nanny looked after me on Saturday while dad tiled the kitchen floor (that means chocolate buttons) I didn't hear too much bad language so I assume it must have gone reasonably well, although Andy did have to come round and help him out a little bit.
On saturday night we went to a barbecue at Nick and Carols. I did some mingling, copied mummy by dipping my dinner into a pool of ketchup and then bedded down in the travel cot. I didn't go much on the chili flavour kettle chips either by the way.
Mum had Monday off, so when dad finished work we went to Milletts farm again to see the animals (it's free).
I saw a peacock with all his feathers out and got a fright from a goat coming at me a bit rapid! The geese were pretty good but the sheep, cows and horses were dull, even though Mum was talking them up. The slide in the playground was a different matter though! They put me up on the platform and then I threw myself down the chute headfirst! It was great fun, I had a good few goes before they called time out on me and we retired to the coffee shop. I shared a cream scone with dad, I can't believe the greedy pig let me have any at all, he must like me!

Back on the westside

Hello!
I had a special treat this week, uncle Alan came to look after me while mum and dad went to see a band. Mind you, 10 minutes after they left, I had a quick play with the cat flap and fell asleep in the hallway! So I wasn't much company really. Sorry Alan, i'll try harder next time!
Been back off holiday a week and then it was back off to Cornwall on friday night for the weekend.
I had a great time and plenty of fresh air in my lungs. I think I took my first unaided step as well in the caravan but haven't repeated it again yet.


Here's me with Mum and Andy, I expect the dialogue is going something along the lines of:
Andy: 'I reckon it'll get better at high tide'
Mum: 'Can we go to the cafe now?'
I got to see John and Sarah again before getting dragged off to Polzeath for the umptenth time for mum's pilgrimage.
I mentioned before that I had a rubbishy old carrier bag for nursery with the promise of something a bit more special on the way, and here it is:

Mum did a cracking job on the sewing machine and with dad's artistic input the reults are pretty good, which was something of a surprise.
