BANG, BOUNCE, OUCH

Fell off the bed on Thursday and Mummy took me to hospital. I'm fine. Mummy's not. 

Gimme, gimme, gimme

anything edible ... I will grab your bread,  your hair,  your yorkshire puds. And I want to do it myself please. And I will squawk VERY loudly at you and growl if you don't heed my 5-min food warnings. Dadadadadadadada. Is my absolute favourite word, sentence and phrase. And I will not sit down. No way. I want to stand and I've got the thighs to do it. Here's me on a zebra, with big sis playing a rousing accompaniment on a piano in the background. No wonder I have to yell to get attention around here ...

Pox overload

It's been a grim few days ... with too many pox to count.

Uh oh

4 spots on my forehead when I went to sleep -- 16 when I woke up. We thought the chicky-pots had passed me by ... perhaps not ...

Trying very hard

I really want to crawl. I've got all the right moves -- but in the wrong sequence. And I want to talk too ... I've gurgled out a Dada (Mummy thinks) and I converse quite earnestly in 'gobleegook' (as my BigSis calls it). You can be sure that whatever I do it'll be with a winning smile ...

Separated at birth ...

Here's an old shot Mummy found ... this fella keeps knocking around ... often find him in the wigwam in our playroom ... looks a bit cold doesn't he! 

I'm getting the pox. Cough, cough, cough from 3.30 am ... Mummy has a deadline and wonders why all the sleep goes rubbish whenever she has a deadline. C'est la vie. Apparently.

Tick tock

uh oh ...... my big sister has got the pox ... SPOTS ... coming to a little face near you soon ...

When penguins attack

New toys and much noise

Am now sharing a bedroom with my BigSister which keeps us a huge playroom free ... here's me marvelling and screeching (something I am becoming very accomplished in). Have started eating other foods -- so far I like the fruit purees but not the veggies .... trouble ahead!

Cackles and chuckles

If you can watch this without the corners of your mouth turning up then you're made of stone! Ohhhhh the joy of the MommaTickle ... 

A smile costs nothing

In these gloomy days of recession, put a smile on your face ... there's still so much to be happy about. I like tickles from Mummy, songs from my BigSister and Daddy's big face! Trust me, the currency of happiness is worth far more than moolah!

Its a rollover!!!!!!!!!

Managed my first back-to-front rollover earlier this week ... and was most proud of myself. Just want to stand up all the time and gurgle for England.

Gurgle schmurgle

Yiber yabber -- I'm trying to talk and copying everyone's expressions!

The Smiler

This week I have really got to grips with decent sleeping and these hand thingies -- grasping, reaching for things and generally waving them about. I'm also full of smiles when people talk to me and apparently I have 'dimples that make you melt'. It's funny seeing the weird faces people pull and strange noises people make to try to get me to smile. Here's me smiling and waving, now that's clever.

Its so hard

...being this gorgeous ... lots of beauty sleep required.

Rainy days

Grrrrrr it's so boring being stuck inside -- roll on Summer.  I am getting to know my big sister tho' -- she's fun. Mummy and Daddy are making lots of camps and indoor obstacle courses.

WE SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT

Well -- 1030pm--0500am ... after 64 days of eating every 90min MammaLou has had a decent sleep and is verrrrry happy ... more later on what I've been up to.... but yaaaaaaaaaay me and well done to my magnificent Mummy and her milky goodness!
