Busy summer...

Hi all,
Sorry for my slackness in posting, but I have been so busy.
I took my first trip to London two weeks ago, to see the Queen. And the Home Office. Not bad for a four week old (as I was then...). Mummy says she was 11 before she got to go to London.
I was a really good girl and slept all the way there, and when I got there, Aunty M and Uncle Dom were there to give me lots of cuddles and show me around their garden. It was lovely.

Then Uncle Len, Aunt Michelle and cousin James came down for the weekend from Wales. It was lovely to get to meet them. I practically live in the vibrating chair they bought me.

Aunty Claire came over from Spain for Mummy's birthday and has taken about a hundred photos of me this week. She and Mummy took me on my first shopping expedition - to Barnstaple - this week. I wasn't so keen when we went on Monday and screamed my way around the shops. It was 37 degrees in my stroller, I'll have you know.
But we went back again yesterday and I loved it. I even had my first public nappy change... at Marks and Spencer, no less!!!

I can almost hold my head up now, am focusing more clearly on things and am starting to chuckle a little. I think I'm doing great!

Daddy has been working lots, but has been keeping me busy with his 'Dropzone' theme park ride he has created just for me. He is so funny. And he's been massaging mand rubbing my legs lots - Aunty Nicole told him I would love it. She was right. Can't wait to meet her, too!

Grandpa Otto may be coming from Florida to see me in a couple of weeks. And hopefully if Nandra is feeling better, I'll be going to see Nana and Grandpa Len in Spain in early September. Its all go for me!

Growing up so quickly...

Hi again,
I´ve had a very busy few days!
I finally got to watch an England game - I´d heard most of them when I was in Mummy´s tummy, but this was the first one I watched in person. Damn those Portugese. Ah well, I´ve a lifetime of tears to get used to, where England are concerned.

Aunty M and Uncle Dominic came downto watch the England ame with us. It was the first time I had met them. they are lovely. they brought me a mobile for my cot and lots of lovely smelly stuff for Mum. Aunty M is a good singer, too. She got me off to sleep on many an occasion. She and Uncle Dom took care of me so Mummy and Daddy could have a rest. It was fun.

Then on Monday, Mummy had a job interview that lasted four hours so Daddy had to take me out and keep me entertained. He drove me to Exeter, where Aunty Claire and Aunty Bo were arriving for a quick visit. I was pleased to see them, but I was also very hungry and missed my Mummy, so cried a bit. It was the longest I have been out of the house and I think I did very well.

Aunty Bo made some Pumpkin Risotto for Mummy and Daddy, but I´m not sure about Pumpkin yet. It gave me wind.

And the biggest news - my health visitor came to measure and weigh me this week. I have gone up to 8lb 13oz, which is fantastic! Not sure long I am, though. Unfortunately there was a bit of a commotion going on when they did that - I had a leaky nappy and poohed all over the measuring board. I won´t be able to show my face in there again...

Talk soon,
