Do you like this pose? My Daddy took it. I think it's very good, even if I'm not smiling. I've just had another good weekend. Yesterday morning Mammy and I went swimming and Daddy came along - but he only took video which is why there are no photos of that here. In the afternoon we went and did some shopping. I enjoy looking at all the other babies and we always go to a cafe so I can have something to eat - or is that just an excuse for Mammy to have a hot chocolate.

Yesterday was cloudy but the weather was lovely today again. We went for a drive and I got to try out my lovely new car seat in Daddy's car. I like it a lot. I am properly crawling now. I can move forward when I want to and never go backwards by mistake any more but I can still do it when I want to.

I got a new dolly last weekend from Jessica & Christina so I've been playing nicely with her too. Well maybe she doesn't think it's so nice, but I've been having lots of fun. Mammy & Daddy are going to some kind of concert tomorrow so Mammo is coming up to mind me. I think I'm going to see Gavin & Louise too.

I was in England for a long weekend. We went to stay with Mammy & Daddy's friend Brendan & Lorna and their girls Jessica and Christina. It was great fun to have so many people to play with and the weather was really hot. So I had to retire to the sun lounger for a nap on Saturday afternoon to take a break.

Does this outfit look to big on me? Mammy thought it was just comfortably big but then she saw the size on it so I might get to wear it lots!!!

I have loads of photos from the weekend. Here's one from the plane on Friday evening. I enjoyed the flight. Apparently I was on a plane before but last time I slept through the whole thing. This time I was far too interested to sleep. I made up a new game called flick the belt buckle and smiled at all the people around me. I nearly figured out how to open the tray too.



I'll tell you more about the weekend tomorrow. Night night for now. Oh and by the way, my top two teeth are cutting through right now. So soon I will have new teeth to show you...

Ah Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma

My first piece of art

Do you like my first piece of artwork? I don't know if you'll be able to see the glitter on it. But there was plenty of it left on me for Mammy to wash off.

Speaking of which today I yelled Ma Ma Ma. Very loudly. Mammy got very excited but then I wouldn't say it again so it was just as well that Daddy was there to hear it. Because she never would have believed her ears otherwise.

I think this is called "Summer"

What is this green stuff anyway?

Wow, it was lovely and warm today. I went for a swim with my Mammy this morning. I wore my Old Navy swimsuit for the first time and I can swim much better now that I could before. Now my Mammy doesn't even have to hold me in the pool. I can float with my armbands and chase after some toys with only a little bit of help.

This afternoon Mammy put something called "factor 60" on me and I was out in the back garden. We were sitting in the shade and playing. I even had a little snooze out there while Mammy read her book. I had to have my hat on most of the time too. But I took it off for some photos. There are lots of new photos on my flickr account if you want to click through to have a look. I'm glad it's sunny because I'm getting to wear all my lovely summer dresses now...

Does this look like anyone I know? Im not sure. My Daddy says it just looks like another baby. But I'm not so sure. There's something familiar about her...

Busy bank holiday weekend

Now just come over here

Well I had a very busy bank holiday weekend. We only had one sunny day and that was today when we went to Mammy & Daddy's friends for lunch and then this evening I had my tea outside in the garden. I do have a photo of that somewhere - I'll have to blog it later.

We were in Wexford for Saturday and Sunday. We brought the doggies too so we had a full car. My Mammo has started to teach me to play her piano. I can make some really loud noise.

We went to Caoimhe's house too and she let me play in her new pink castle. I saw her new little baby brother. He seems to do a lot of sleeping but everyone thought that was a good thing.
