Today me and dad got up and instead of going to Wendy’s house dad took me with him to work. We arrived early and opened up before the staff arrived, I helped dad telling everyone what to do and arranging the work for the day. I wasnt really sure what was going on but dad seemed to be in control of things. I walked round with dad then decided I would leave him to it so went for a nap in his office.
We finished early and went to meet mum for a few drinks in the pub.
This is me helping dad on the computer.

Today we went to our last baby sensory class. I really enjoyed it and was sad that it was our last one, but we are starting rhythm and rhyme classes next week, which I am looking forward to! We then went to meet mummy’s friend, Anna for a coffee and then met up with our friends from baby club.

September 6
Today me and mummy went to meet Nigel and Hannah for lunch. They were meant to come and see me yesterday for my christening but got stuck in lots of traffic on the way down, so I was in bed by the time they got here! Me and mummy were feeling very tired after yesterday so in the afternoon we had a long cuddle on the sofa!
This is me relaxing whilst mummy cleared up from my christening yesterday!

Today was my christening day! I went to the church and the priest poured water on my head! We then came back to our house and there were lots of people here. It was a lovely sunny day and everyone was out in the garden. It was so lovely to have everyone here and everyone wanted to play with me! I didn’t want to go to bed today as I didn’t want to miss out on anything, but in the end I was exhausted and fell asleep drinking my milk!
This is me with all my cousins in the church at my christening.

Today, Uncle Jim, Auntie Nina, Finn, Uncle Dave, Auntie Annys, Uncle Ben and Dougie came up to see us. It was really lovely to see everyone. Mummy, daddy, Auntie Katherine and Auntie Nina were really busy making all the food for my christening tomorrow, so Grandma and Grandad and Uncle Jim took me, Finn, Dougie and Zack to the park. I had another go on the swing and Grandad had a camera this time, so could take a picture.
This is me on the swing.

Today, Grandma and Grandad, Auntie Katherine and Zack came up to see us ready for my christening on Sunday. We all had lunch together and then we went to the park. I had my first go on the swing, but no-one had brought a camera with them, so they couldn’t take a picture! I also learnt how to wave today so practiced by waving at everyone!
This is me playing with my toys before everyone arrived

Today me and mummy went to see mummy’s friend, Marie-Claire in Stafford. She is due to have a baby soon and I can’t wait to meet the new baby. We had a lovely time and went for a walk around Stafford. Mummy and Marie-Claire had a milkshake in the sun, I really wanted to have one too, but mummy said that I was still too young. When we got back, we met up with daddy and went shopping to get all the food for my christening on Sunday.
This is me chilling out when we got back.

Today, daddy was back at work, so me and mummy went to our usual baby sensory class. It was very sunny, so afterwards we had lunch in the park with our friends. Me and mummy then went up to Heaton Moor Medical Centre as a lady from the hospital wanted to check my eyes out as mummy said that I keep going cross eyed. She asked me to look at lots of pictures and kept moving them around. Mummy and the lady seemed happy afterwards, so I think I did ok. The lady told mummy that my eyes were fine and that she would check them again when I was one.

When we got up today and mummy and daddy went to get dressed, they both realised that they had forgotten to pack any underwear! So we had to rush to the shops and buy some! Daddy said he was commando but im not sure what that means. It was a lovely sunny day so we then had a walk around Edinburgh.
This is us at Edinburgh Castle.

Today, me, mummy and daddy drove up to Edinburgh in Scotland. This was a very long way and I got very bored in my car seat, so mummy had to entertain me by singing songs to me. When we stopped to get petrol, daddy realised that he had left his wallet at home and mummy said that he had probably done that on purpose!
This is me at home before we left drinking out of a cup for the first time.

This morning me and mummy went swimming. I got really excited when we got to the swimming pool and I love swimming now. I am also getting good at going under water.
Once daddy got back from work, we all went for a walk and went for a drink. This is me and mummy sitting outside, mummy is trying to kiss me but I am just trying to work out whether I can get hold of the peanuts on the table without mummy knowing!

Today we went to Bristol. Mummy’s friend, Beth came with us and we met up with Claire, who lives in Bristol. We went to a chilli festival. We got to go around lots of different stalls and daddy tried lots of hot chilli sauce. We then tried to watch a chilli eating competition but we arrived too late and so were at the back and couldn’t see anything. It is on again tomorrow so we are going to get there earlier and get a good spot.
This is me trying some of the chilli sauce that daddy bought.

Today me and mummy went to Sheffield to meet mummy’s friend Emma and her baby Sophia. We had a lovely day and it was nice to see Emma and meet Sophia for the first time and hopefully we will see them again soon. When we got back we met up with daddy and we had to take my pram back to the shop as its broken. They couldn’t fix it there and so had to send it away. They gave us a loan pram until ours is fixed. It is ok but its not as good as mine.
This is me in my pram before it broke.

Me and mummy walked into Heaton Moor and got the train into Manchester to meet daddy. We then went to one of daddy’s friends, Andy’s, house..His little boy Ben was already in bed though by the time we got there, so I couldn’t see him.

Today me, mummy and daddy went to Buxton and met up with Grandma and Grandad and my cousin Finn. Mummy and daddy had to go to court to sue a bad man that won’t pay Daddy some money he owes him. I told the bad man that the money was needed to buy me nappies, but he still wouldn’t pay. I wasn’t allowed to go and speak to the judge so I went with Grandma and Grandad and Finn. Once Mummy and Daddy were finished we all went for lunch and then for a walk around Buxton. It was also Grandad’s birthday today, so we gave him our present and sung him happy birthday.
This is me with Grandad on his birthday.
