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 I thought I would give dad and early start so I got him up at 6am, we went down stairs and shortly after we were joined by Uncle Jim and Fin. Uncle Jim didn’t look very happy to be getting up so early but it meant I could play with my cousin Fin. Eventually everyone got up and we played games in the morning but everyone was moaning as they couldn’t have a shower as there had been a leak in the village over night so every house had no water. In the afternoon I helped Grandma in the kitchen making everyone’s tea. After tea we packed the car and headed home as dad is back at work tomorrow.
This is me after the water came back on.

Today I went to spend the day with Auntie Jane, I had my breakfast then gave auntie Jane a lovely present in my nappy, Auntie Jane made a school girl error and forgot to put down a changing mat. The bed got my full force. Me and Beth then played a few games before heading out to get some new bedding, on the way we dropped Bethany off at college.
In the afternoon we went to the garden centre to look at all the Christmas decorations and the dancing tree’s.
This is me having my milk before bed.

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!

5th September 2010
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 me and mummy met up with some of our friends and went to the Sure Start Childrens Centre in Heaton Mersey to find out what activities we could do, but we got there too late and the lady running it had gone home! So we went up to the clinic and I got weighed. I weigh 16lb 1oz now and I am 69cm long!

Today me and mummy had a quiet relaxing day and we went for a walk in the village. We then went to meet daddy from work and we went to Costco (the land of the giants) so mummy and daddy could look at what food they might buy for my christening party.

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.

Today we travelled even further North into Fife. Mummy had to go and see some people, so me and daddy went to the beach whilst we waited for her to finish. I like Scotland and wanted to stay longer but mummy and daddy said that we had to come home as daddy had to go to work tomorrow. So we drove home, stopping at a pub for lunch where I made friends with two old ladies that lived nearby.
This is me and daddy on the beach.

This morning I wasn’t feeling that well and had a bit of a temperature, so we walked into Bristol Town Centre to Boots to get me some Calpol and this made me feel better. We then went back to the chilli festival and had another look at the stalls. In the afternoon, we made sure that we had front row seats for the chilli eating competition, but then when it started, I got scared by all the cheering and the man on the loud microphone so me and mummy went for a walk instead. Once daddy, beth and claire had finished watching, we met back up together and they told us all about it.
This is me and mummy enjoying the sunshine.

Today, me and mummy went to baby sensory and met up with our friends. We then went for lunch to catch up and tell them all our holiday stories. I had some more baby rice today, which I really liked.
This is me just before mum and dad gave me some nice soothing gel for my teeth, they have been hurting today. I felt much better after this.

Today I went out with everyone in the morning to a local market, they seemed to sell a lot of bric-a-brac so I didnt buy anything as it wasnt my cup of tea.
When we got back to the house I went for a quick dip in the pool to cool off as it was well over 30 degrees today.
Once I had cooled off and had a glass of Pimms we all went in the house to watch Germany kick our ass in the world cup.
This is me with my swimming gear on getting ready.

Today I finally got to go in the pool, my cousins have already been in a few times this week but mum said it was a little too cold for me but it’s been really hot the last few days so the water temperature is getting hotter and hotter.
This is me just after mum dunked me in the water…

Today mum went out with the girls for a girlie day. I stayed with dad at the house in the morning relaxing then in the afternoon I went for a walk into town with dad and my cousins for a few drinks and some ice cream (dad told me not to tell mum, but I had some of his lolly)
After our drinks we headed back to the house for tea.

Today me, mum and dad got up early and went for a walk through the woods. I saw lots of different animals but when we got to the lake we stopped to see if we could see the otters, we didn’t see the otters but mum noticed that dad had stood in an Ant’s nest and his legs were covered with thousands of Ant’s. Dad then seemed to run around like a big girl waving his legs in the air and I had to calm him down. We all headed off back to the house after that close encounter.
This is me and dad before he was attacked by man eating killer ant’s

Today me and dad got up early and went for a walk into the town before the sun got up and made it too hot to handle.
This is a picture of me and dad which took him several attempts to get right with the timer on the camera. Dad is going to buy a small tripod to make it a little easier in future.
