What's new this week? Dancing. Proper dancing, thats what. I love it and just can't stop myself as soon as I hear some music i'm off. I don't like these mix dj's though, I like to have a clap and cheer at the end of each song.
Mum worked on Saturday so dad and I spent the morning lazing about and catching up on some zzzz's. We met her at lunch time and had a picnic in the park. We walked home along the canal and I saw a cat living on a barge and a great big dog throw himself in for a swim which was pretty funny. That evening we had a barbecue for tea. We had the ball pool out and everything. I got to ride around in the garden in my little wheelbarrow until they were too tired to push me anymore and then I threw some shapes on the patio to the radio.
Sunday we went for a shopping trip to Southampton, I don't know why because i've got plenty of clothes. We went to Pizza Hut for lunch and I got my own pizza and everything, but as usual I was too interested in all the passers by to be that bothered about the grub. Late afternoon and we went to Nick and Carol's for poker. Jase sat in the cats chair and got a really hairy bum. I went walking out on their patio through the puddles in just my socks so they were nicely soggy. Luckily (?) mum and dad didn't last too long at the cards, so we could get home at a decent time although it didn't really matter as mum had Monday off so no going to nursery.
We went to Camp Hopson's smart new cafe and I had some chocolate muffin and got given a toy car just like uncle Alan's. We had my feet measured but I don't need any new shoes just yet.
I'm feeling a bit groggy today, runny nose, sore throat and some teeth coming through so that's not too good but i'm okay. They gave me Chicken Madras and Basmati rice for tea (it was mixed with plain yoghurt though) which was okay but I played on my condition and managed to secure not one but two bananas for pudding...result!

Holiday time again!
I've just got back from my second summer holiday in Cornwall, I was only 3 months old last year when we went so it was all change this time round.
Things didn't start too well on the Friday afternoon as there were loads of roadworks on the way meaning that it took a liitle over 5 hours to get there. Dad was a bit 'tense' when sitting in traffic so I thought it best to lie low and kept it down in the back. When we arrived we went straight to the chippy and I ate my fish cakes and chips off of my own fork, I found it really funny. The weather was a bit wet on Saturday when mum made us go for a walk around the headland, I don't know what she was thinking really. Once it had cleared up I went for a walk on the sand for the first time, it was pretty weird at first but I soon got the hang of it. Sunday was a much better prospect weather wise so we got a picnic together and headed for Harlyn.
Mum had a dodgy foot (probably trench foot from yesterdays walk), so we sat on the beach while dad went out for a surf, he came back and said it was really good, although the tide was so far out we couldn't see him, in fact he could well have just sat round the corner eating an ice cream for all we know!
Once he was back, I got into my wetsuit and we went in the water, it was still pretty cold but I loved it.
I offered to drive home but there were no takers. Can't think why?
On Monday Uncle Slim and Aunty Trace came over from their campsite for a visit. We had a great day, the sun shone and we went down the beach.
Slim took me for a paddle and Dad tried his hand at catching waves again but we didn't see him because we were too busy laughing at a silly family get cut off by the rising tide. Lunchtime, and Trace come up with the goods with the biggest plate of scones and cream ever, nice one!
We then went over to Polzeath for some shopping, Slim splashed out on a huge quantity of shorts and I got a T-Shirt. After a little bit of shoplifting (it was a fit up job, Mum hung the jersey up on the back of my pushchair!) we hit the ice cream shop and I ponced most of Slim's ice cream off him.
Other selected highlights of the first week were a trip to Falmouth where I was schmoozing all the old dears at the bus stop and trips to the beach, the most eventful being the one where the gail force winds blew sand all over me until I looked like some sort of sand creature. Still, they had actually splashed out on a bucket and spade for me which was great, I could flick sand much further with the spade.
On Thursday night Andy and Owen turned up but I was already in bed so that was a shock come Friday morning to have two new playmates. Over the course of Friday and Saturday all the usual suspects appeared so I had loads of new targets.
Saturday night we went down the pub and after seeing off my own carvery dinner I was busting some moves to the band, my audience loved it but were indifferent to the band.
The second week was really warm and sunny so I was doused with cream and had to wear my silly flap hat non-stop pretty much. I went in the sea every day which has been really good, although getting me dry and changed afterwards has been quite a game:
The second weeks events are all a bit of a blur, but we had a barbecue on the beach where I set the all of England record for scrounging food and eating it.
Yanna was great fun, spraying me with bubbles.
Fen was a great sparring partner, he had me beat on size but I reckon I had the upper hand on agility!
Tuesday night was donkey derby night at Newquay football club. The donkeys were okay, but Mum's deafening screaming at the last race made me cry! And all over a few quid on the tote.
On Wednesday afternoon they all had a bodyboarding lesson so I sat on the beach with Owen, ate my first pasty and eyed up the bikini clad talent. Owen tried to use me as a lure and had been rehearsing his story of how the tragic mother was drowned surfing a reef in an exotic far flung location but he drew a blank. After the lesson, their Australian surfer dude instructor 'Ade' offered to take me out and catch a wave! I got on the front of his board and we rode on into the beach, I wasn't sure at first but I liked it in the end.
Other than that it was a week of being a beach bum, poncing ice cream, stealing other kids beach toys, drinking sea water and eating enormous quantities of sand. The latter causing an interesting consistency to the contents of my nappy.
So after two weeks of late nights and lie in's we came home, but I couldn't go to nursery on Monday as the sea water and sand diet had played havoc with my digestive system.
By Tuesaday I was back on it and everything was back to normal, until next time.....

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!

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.

Portugal!
Sorry for the lack of updates last week, but I was living it up on the Algarve! My first trip abroad.
On one of our first outings, we managed to gatecrash the local hockey clubs presentation barbecue or something, we had chicken, chips, various other 'meats' and some rather lovely chocolate mouse...
One of the main purposes of the holiday was apparently to play some golf, Dad (and indeed mum) only played 'minigolf' here at a mock Roman course and avoided the more lenghty full size version.
We had leisurley breakfast on the patio every morning which made a change from having rice krispies and toast shoved down my throat.
In the second installment of 'Neds occasional bad habits' I can be seen here taking advantage of duty free snouts!
Anyway, back home now and up a room at nursery! All the kids in this room are between 1 and 2, so i'm one of the youngest again, but that doesn't bother me. I have to have a bag to hang on my own peg now, but because of the poor organisation on the parents part, I had to take a carrier bag! The shame of it! At least it was from a nice surf shop in Cornwall I suppose and not Tesco. They have promised me something a bit special for my gear next week, so fingers crossed.
As you can see, I was a load of help with the packing.
They woke me up in the middle of the night, and the living room was full of people. We got in the car and drove to the airport. By the time we got there, it was daylight. I had to use my passport for the first time, the picture in it is terrible.....
On my way to the aeroplane, pretty exciting.....
Here I am in the air! I was a good boy, especially when I sat on Andy's lap and could look out of the window. Thanks Andy. The take off and ear popping didn't bother me in the least.
A long 2 hours and forty minutes saw us land at Faro airport.
We picked up a hire car and dad drove on the wrong side of the road all the way to the villa! Pretty dangerous I thought, but there you go, we escaped unscathed.

Sunshine!
Good day!
The sun's been out, it's been really nice. Dad took me up Snelsmore on Thursday afternoon to see loads of trees. It was really nice up there:
Dad held me up and we ran through the leaves, I then had little walk around on the old acorn shells on the floor which made a smart crunching sound and then we threw some stones into the pond.
We also saw a little foal with it's mum, it kept coming up to me to say hello but I wasn't quite sure about him. He could certainly walk around a lot better than I could though...
Dad took an arty picture, but we all know the real reason we went up there was to spot any new bits to ride his bike on.....
Nanny looked after me Friday night while mum and dad went out, so that was a result. She gave me chocolate buttons.
Saturday morning we went to town and down the park. I had a go on the swings, slide and they even took me on the roundabout (which made mum feel sick). In the afternoon we went over to see Yanna and Fen. Yanna was great fun with her dancing and running about, I tried to keep up with her the best I could. Dad played GT4 and made a complete fool of himself, i'm glad he doesn't drive like that in real life. We went home and had a barbecue and I had my first burger (homemade one at at that).
Sunday was a lovely day, they sat out in the garden and I played with the sand/water pit. I got soaked and very gritty. Auntie Chris and Uncle Ian came round in the afternoon:
I had to play in the sand again and dirty my second lot of clothes!
Nanny had to have her eyes operated on yesterday, so dad and I went round to sit with her this afternoon to make sure she was okay. In an effort to take her mind off of her own suffering I decided not to have an afternoon nap and get really grizzly instead. I'll have to watch my step in future now she can see what i'm up to!
I don't know if we'll get another update in this week and we're off on holiday Saturday morning, so probably be back the following week with holiday snaps!

Nothing to Declare!
Welcome once again friends.
We went shopping in Southampton on Thursday afternoon. Just for once I thought i'd be a right pain and I cried for Britain. I got myself into a right state and they couldn't do anything with me. I eventually got bored of it and started smiling before dozing off in my pushchair.
I had a lovely night with auntie Tracey on Friday though. I've not let on to mum and dad about what we got up to, but I slept in until 9 am on saturday morning, so they know I must have been tired.
I've gone off roast dinners at the moment, but i'm really into cheese spread rolls (or marmite). I also give them a hard time unless we all sit down to eat together, I don't want them putting me to bed and having a nice cosy civilised meal on their own.
Here I am in action with the remnants of a bun:
I've just discovered trees, they're great! They flap about in the wind and make a cool rustling noise and everything. I keep wanting to go and touch them all the time.
And here's some of my handy work!
Smallest occupant of the house+smallest room in the house=big carnage!
I was quite pleased with it!
Thats all for now. I don't know what they've got planned for me this coming weekend, we'll have to wait and see.

Hello again, what's new? I'm going up a room at Nursery when we get back off holiday (which is apparently 2 weeks and four days away as i'm reliably informed by mum at every oppurtunity).
While we're on holiday related business, they're trying to 'train' me to wear my sun hat before we go away. If i've got something else to do, i'll tolerate it otherwise i'll whip it off quick-smart.
Well it was a bank holiday weekend! On Saturday, they took me up Coombe Gibbet, dad muttered something about there being no rope so we'll have to take him home again....
On Sunday we had Great Grandma and Nanny round for Sunday lunch. great Grandma fed me masses of ice cream and i'm surprised I didn't spew it back up. Dad didn't seem to happy as it meant less for him the pig.
Look closely at my t-shirt, it certainly seems to do exactly as it says on the tin:
After lunch Uncle Slim and Aunty Trace came round to try out their new tent in the garden. An 8 berth dome affair (with no instructions!). It was really funny watching dad 'help' put it up, especially when Slim got stuck inside it with a huge bee!
They took me to the Crafty Craft race on Monday (for reasons best known to themselves). The basic idea of it seemed to be that people navigated the canal on completely unsuitable watercraft. Very odd indeed. Anyway, we had a nice picnic in the park:
They let me eat a yogurt by myself tonight with my own spoon. I think i've almost got the hang of feeding myself after missing my mouth a good few times.
The walking seems to be coming along nicely now too, I can waddle quite convincingly across the floor if someone holds my hands and can manage a few seconds stationery on my own as well. It won't be long and then the real fun can begin.......

On Sunday we had Great Grandma and Nanny round for Sunday lunch. great Grandma fed me masses of ice cream and i'm surprised I didn't spew it back up. Dad didn't seem to happy as it meant less for him the pig.
Look closely at my t-shirt, it certainly seems to do exactly as it says on the tin:
After lunch Uncle Slim and Aunty Trace came round to try out their new tent in the garden. An 8 berth dome affair (with no instructions!). It was really funny watching dad 'help' put it up, especially when Slim got stuck inside it with a huge bee!
They took me to the Crafty Craft race on Monday (for reasons best known to themselves). The basic idea of it seemed to be that people navigated the canal on completely unsuitable watercraft. Very odd indeed. Anyway, we had a nice picnic in the park:
They let me eat a yogurt by myself tonight with my own spoon. I think i've almost got the hang of feeding myself after missing my mouth a good few times.
The walking seems to be coming along nicely now too, I can waddle quite convincingly across the floor if someone holds my hands and can manage a few seconds stationery on my own as well. It won't be long and then the real fun can begin.......
