Was obviously good enough this year (??!) and Santa came….& he brought LOTS! Got a fab trike and stacks of other toys. Thanks to everyone who put in a good word to Santa for me!
Nana and Grandpa came over and I had my first Xmas Dinner….slept through the starter so just had it at same time as my main course!
Lots more eating, sleeping (not just me!) and playing with new stuff…especially Dad’s Scalextrix (which Mum says is half mine) made for a great day!

Nana and Grandpa came over and we all had a great time at Mark and Anne’s….something to do with Drinks & Nibbles (more drinks than nibbles??). Got to play with my honorary big sisters, Jaz and Grace.
We put out drinks and nibbles for Santa and Rudolf and read the Night Before Christmas….well, a bit of it anyway! Went to bed nice and early to wait for Santa.

We all went to a fab Xmas market in Manchester. There was a huge talking moose and stacks of Xmas stuff. Mum got to drink hot German red wine and we shared German sausage! I raided the cheese counter and used my charms to get loads of freebie nibbles! The Town Hall had a huge Zippee dressed as Santa on top of it which Mum and Dad couldn’t explain!
We stayed in The Place Hotel which was great. Mum bounced on the bed with me (but says I can’t do it at home – bummer!) and Dad chased me round the snazzy indoor walkways where we played with the fountains.
I got to eat loads of crisps coz we were on holiday and hogged the TV with Peppa Pig videos. What more could a wee boy want!

Got my first advent calendar today. Great fun opening it but don’t like the chocolates. Fortunately Dad does! Why don’t they make them with Pringles or Pretzels in the windows??!

I have been enjoying using my first words Mum and Dad for a couple of weeks but, admittedly, get a little carried away so do not always aim the words at their true recipients! Various people and objects have been referred to as Mum or Dad! Have decided to skip the Mama / Dada malarky and go straight for the more direct “mum” or “dad”. It seems to do the trick.
Officially…..my first word is probably fish! Only use it when refering to fish…which is surprisingly frequently. If you ask my Dad though, he’ll tell you the first word was definitley Dad!
“Eng” (Fire engine), “at” (Hat) and “ad” (bad….all those things that keep bumping into me and tripping me up) are also now common phrases. “”Gin” seems to get things repeated as required so am also using that alot!
Think this talking lark could prove useful so am going to keep it up! xxx

I got my first pair of wellies this week and a fabby suit to keep me clean and dry while I roll around in the dirt and splash in muddy puddles. Can play out in any weather now – yippeeee!
Mum has got wellies too. Hers are pink with flowers on – hee hee!

Me, Mum and Dad went to Portugal, near Vilamoura, for a week. We had a great time and the weather was fabulous although no tan coz I kept getting slapped with the sun cream…icky!
I didn’t like the sand at first…it sticks to you!…..but the sea was fab. The waves were nearly as big as me but I wasn’t scared. Wearing the silly hat sucked though! I got some new sunnies and wore them everywhere. So cool!
Our villa was lovely and I had a pool all to myself. We went out and about in the car but kept getting lost…Mums navigation I think! We did make it to Zoo Marine and watched the dolphins and seals.

Got a viral throat infection and had to go to hospital for the day. Got a huge temperature and a red blotchy rash all over me – nice. Freaked Mum and Dad out and nearly couldn’t go on holiday. Wasn’t looking my best!

Me and Jack and Mum and Nana went for lunch at the Hare & Hounds and then went to the ice cream parlour in Whitley. Me and Jack played games in the pub and made loads of noise! I made quite a bit of mess too!
Jack and Nana played crazy golf while I checked all the holes and flags were OK. I poked a goat and stroked a cute donkey. We played at driving a big truck and a tractor!

We all went out for tea to Frankie and Bennys for Granpa’s birthday – I think he is quite old!! We ate loads of food and everyone took turns taking me all round the restaurant and outside when I got bored. I amused myself playing behind the seats for ages.
