Off on my hols...

Hi guys,
Well I´m on my travels again. Mummy and I are heading back to Spain this afternoon to see Paps and Aunty Claire. I´m going to meet my Great Aunt Margaret from Sicily, too!
What´s been happening this week... well I guess the big news is that we have a new car. The old one was great - I got to ride in the front seat all the time - but the electric window was stuck down and the car smelled of petrol! Our new car is LOVELY! It´s a Volvo and we´ve called it Sahara. It even has heated seats.
Aunty M came down from London over the weekend to keep Mummy company as Daddy was working away. The weather wasn´t that brilliant though, so he came back a few hours earlier. Well, actually thats not true... he got a bit lost on the way home, but he found us in the end.
Not sure what we´ll be doing in Spain for the next couple of weeks, but you can bet I´ll be giving my Osh Kosh bathers (I got three - how lucky am I?) lots of use.

Talk soon, love Little Lottie xxx

Hola from sunny Spain...

Hello all,
Just a quick note from Spain, to let you know that I survived the plane journey and the heat!
I have been here for five days now - we leave tomorrow. We were supposed to leave today and we were almost on the plane when Mummy remembered she had left the keys to our car (which is at the airport in Bristol) in my baby bag... in the back of Paps´car. So he had to pick us up and we´ll try again tomorrow.
It was ok though - it meant Mummy and I could go to the cemetery to visit Nana. It is only open three days a week.
I went to my first ever restaurant on Monday night - the Wok Buffet Chinese restaurant in Guardamar. AND I had my first holiday romance with a little boy at the table next to us. He looked a little younger than me, but I had my sparkly dress and matching pants on, so Aunty Claire took me over to blow him a kiss. He seemed a little immature and a bit of a Mummy´s Boy, but as holiday romances go, it wasn´t a bad one.

Do you like my new dressing gown and bikini? Uncle Gerry from Toronto brought presents for me from all kinds of people I haven´t met yet. I´m going to need another wardrobe soon...
Mummy and I are coming back to Spain next week, so I´ll talk to you then.

Lots of love, Little Lottie xxx

Viva visa...

Me in an outfit Nana Sandra sent me

Hi all,
What a week its been! Mummy, Daddy and I went to London on Monday to get Daddy´s visa sorted out but we got stuck in horrendous traffic on the M25 just outside London. We missed the appointment and it took us four hours to reach the next motorway junction. Grrrrrrrrr. So we spent the whole day in the car for nothing.

Thankfully, they were able to see us on Wednesday so we all piled back into the car and went back to London. Third time lucky! Hurrah - Daddy has a visa and can stay with Mummy and me in the UK forever if he wants. Another long day for us all, but I was very well behaved.

Today has been more travel - we went to South Wales to get my passport. We needed to get it done immediately as we´re all flying to Spain on an aeroplane later tonight. My Nana Sandra died on Thursday, so I am going to give Grandpa Len lots of cuddles and smiles to try and make him feel better.

I´ll write more once I´ve been on a plane!

Lots of love, Little Lottie xxx

On the road again...

Hi all,
I was off camping last weekend with Mum and Dad, and it was great fun. I helped them with the stall, but there were also lots of old fashioned fairground rides. I really fancied a go on the Helter Skelter, but I think I´m still a bit small...

I had my passport pictures taken this week - they´re much better than the first ones we got a couple of weeks back.

We´re off up to London on Monday, as we need to go back to the Home Office for Daddy´s UK visa application. I´m hoping its not going to be as hot as it was last time. And fingers crossed it all goes well for us.

Mummy thinks I am musical - she says I was playing air piano in my car seat the other day. I do like music, almost as much as I like smiling. I am smiling most of the time I am awake now. Crying is for babies!

I´ll let you know how we get on in London...

Talk soon, love Little Lottie xxx

Earning my keep...

Hello!
Big news from me this week - I helped Daddy at work. He´s been so busy this last week or so with all the tourists, so yesterday Mummy and I went to help him.
I wore my best pink babygro (although I did fill it with a nappy blow-out later on... damn Veggie Chilli) and sat under the stall. I kept quiet but if someone was trying on a particularly unflattering piece of jewellery, I tried my best to let them know by crying.

I´m helping out again this weekend, as Daddy is doing a three-day event in Portsmouth. Mummy, Daddy, Zeus and I are all piling into the campervan and heading down there. What an adventure.

Mummy is organising my passport this weekend, too, so I should be up up and away in next to no time.

Aunty Claire went back to Spain this week, and mum has taken to eating these flourescent orange crunchy sandwiches. Wotsits, I think she called them. Or cheese doodles.

The Health Visitor saw me today and says that I am eating plenty and growing at the right rate. I am 10lb 11oz, so have put on quite a bit since my debut six weeks ago.

Anyway, I´d better go. I think I´ll be helping out on the stall again today. Time to ask for pocket money, I think.

Talk soon, love Little Lottie
