Getting ready for Santa

Getting ready for Santa

This Christmas lark is great. I had was a very good girl on Christmas Eve and I got all nice and clear so that Sana could see what I good girl I am.

Mammo has a lovely tree but what was even better was the big pile of presents underneath it. Santa brought lots of them and some of them were for me. So I have loads of new clothes and new toys and I also found that I can have great fun with clothes pegs and with elastic bands.

Muttley and Cosmo are here too but I got my own dog yesterday so I've been bringing him for lots of walks.



There was a lot of eating going on so I joined in a bit. When all the visitors came to the house, I went upstairs with Daddy for a nap.

Auntie Jill did a blog entry with lots of photos of me too. You can see it here.

For someone who doesn't eat a lot, there are loads of food photos here now. As you can see last night when Uncle Ross & Denise were here, I got my hands on some ice cream. Well everyone was having some but no-one else wanted the Rolo ice cream so I thought I'd help myself. It was delicious.

I think it was the only time that I'll ever be getting ice cream in the evening though. I woke on a sugar high at midnight and didn't sleep again for at least 3 hours...

My Favourite Hat

Hi, this is my favourite hat. So far I've formed no attachments to blankies or anything like that. But this hat is cool. If I had my way, I'd weat it all the time. I make them put it on my every time I leave the room in the creche - even if it's only to have my nappy changed! Here I am wearing it while eating my breakfast. Only thing is that it doesn't make me very aerodynamic so when I'm outside playing at the creche, I can't keep up with the toddlers in the races.

It's nearly Christmas. I don't remember Christmas last year. We have a big tree with lights on it and some of the toys I play with are on it too. There's are Santa Claus's, Snowman and Teddies in Red everywhere. It's great.

See this picture of me eating. Well it's a rare sight these days. I only eat things I can feed myself and sometimes I don't bother to eat at all... But I always drink my bottles...

Look at me all ready to go for a walk. I have a new fleece cover for my buggy and a new fleece hat to make sure I'm warm enough when we're on our way to and from the swings and to and from the pool - specially the pool because I have to keep my head warm when I come out.

And after all of that, I still have a cold. And can you see the little cut on my lip - I had my injections last week and on the same day I fell over in the creche and bit my lip. I was quite brave but it was sore. I think the injections must have made me wobbly. I guess I must still be a "wobbler" rather than a "toddler".

Mammy and Daddy went to a gig last Thursday night so Uncle Ross and Denise minded me. Auntie Jill and Mark visited on Saturday. I haven't met them since I was very small (well except I met Auntie Jill last week) so they are next in the babysitting queue!
