All smiles for my Daddy ...

Hellooooooooooo!
This was me on Saturday - very smiley because Mummy says Daddy is coming home on Thursday after three weeks in America.
I can't wait to see him and give him lots of kisses and cuddles. And show off all my new words.

I've not been very well this week - a combination of a very bad cold and conjunctivitus means I haven't been the best company but I have been pretty well behaved. I'm just tired as my coughing has been waking me up.
I must have been pretty sick - it was my friends Sammy and Daia's birthday party on the weekend and I had to go home after an hour. I just wasn't up to all the crowds. They did have a fantastic bubble machine though :-)

Anyway, gotta run and blow my nose.
I'll be in touch soon with more pics.

Lots of love,

Growing up so fast ...

Hi everyone!
Hope you're well - I'm good. Doing lots of swimming at the moment and I can go off with my arm bands on now and kick and splash to my heart's content.
I love it!

I have been playing lots with my friends Sammy and Daia - they're a little bit older than me but I do like to spend time with them as we all learn so much from being around oneanother.

Mummy and I were up in London last week which was fun. I got to see Aunty M and went to a place called Hemel Hempstead where Mummy used to live. It seemed ok. I went to a great indoor play area which was THE BEST but lots of balls from the ball pool were on the path so I spent lots of my time putting them back in. I like to keep things tidy.

I spent an afternoon at a farm last week which was BRILLIANT!! I got to see all the baby horses (I think they're called foals) close up and pat them. I heart animals.

I am also learning to use the toilet - I have a little ladder that helps me get onto the toilet seat. I love hearing my wee wee go into the toilet so hopefully I'll be able to leave nappies behind fairly soon.

Daddy is in America at the moment. He went over to see my Grandpa Otto for a little while and sadly my Grandpa died while Daddy was there.
Mummy and I are sad - my Grandpa was lovely and so much fun. We're looking forward to having Daddy home so we can give him lots of cuddles and make him feel better.
I have learned to say 'I love you Daddy' and this has come in quite handy over the last few days.
Anyway, I'll be in touch soon with more pics and hopefully some recent video!
Talk soon,

Devon in April ... and it's SNOWING!

My first hair cut ...

As promised, here are the pics from my first hair cut last week.
It was quite fun and I really liked the animal smock they made me wear.
Mummy and Daddy saved some of my curls, and there was only one near miss when I turned my head as the hairdresser was about to take a snip - I could have lost my ear!!!
But it all turned out well and my fringe is not falling in my eyes anymore.

Taking a cat-nap ...

I'm great with the words now ...

Hi all,
Hope you're all well. I am great - having lots of fun and chattering away now. I've mastered such words as 'Caterpillar' and 'Butterfly' and am totally obsessed with the Dora The Explorer cartoon.

My hair is so long that Mummy has been putting it in bunches. I'm not very good at keeping my bunches in (as you can see by the picture above) but don't I look different with the hair off my face!
I'm actually goign for my first appointment at the hairdressers tomorrow - I think Mummy is going to keep the curls they cut off, and hopefully they'll keep my fringe out of my eyes.



I have been playing with my friends lots and going to baby group, which I still love. The teachers there thanked me for entertaining them and the rest of the class. I can't help it - I just get so excited when we sing 'The Wheels On The Bus' and I have to shake my bum and dance in time to the music.
I've also taught one of the little girls in my group how to spin on the spot - it's so much fun!

I'm still into everything at the moment - I've been switching the washing machine on and off and the heater. Of course I get into trouble because I'm not supposed to touch anything like that so I've started taking my dolls and teddies with me when I'm up to no good and use their hands to do the things I'm not supposed to do. Then I tell them off so they know they're being naughty - how much of a genius am I?

Anyway, other big news is that my Uncle Andre is getting married. Hooray! I am so pleased for him and can't wait to meet Vicky, my aunty-to-be.

Right, I'm off to do some playing.
Talk soon and I'l get some more photos up soon. I'm almost into (birthday) party season so will let you see my outfits.
