These shoes don't look this good any more...

With Daddy and new shoes

... it's a pretty old photo (almost a month old now) - I just got my least practical pair of shoes. They are really cool but quite a bit dirtier than this now. This is me and Daddy in Airfield where they have lambs and calves and hens and ducks and horsies in everything. There are some more photos in flickr if you want to click through - including one of the nice ones from my auntie Jill's "not a hen" party...

I can say lots of words now. Like sun glasses. And giraffe. And other practical words. I can also scream very loudly for quite a long time and I do - specially when I feel tired and cranky like today. I was awake with Mammy at 5am. No wonder I had to have a couple of little tantrums to get me through the day. I'm surprised Mammy doesn't have them too. They're great for stress relief!

Anyway these sunglasses have probably saved mammy's from destruction. I like them a lot!

Ok fans, I'm back. Sorry for the delay. Mammy keeps checking to see whether or not I've updated my blog. I think she's not the only one. Auntie Nic definitely checks every day too. But I just haven't had the time.

So what's the news? Well I've grown out of most of my winter clothes but a lot of the new summer ones are too big. We had one sunny week 2 weeks ago and I had to wear my fleece hat when we went outside at the creche. Then Daddy bought me sun cream and a new sun hat last Sunday and we haven't seen the sun since!

Today it lashed rain all day but I still got to go to the swimming pool in the morning. In the afternoon, Mammy disappeared off but I stayed here. It's very entertaining at the moment because my Auntie Emma & Uncle Jamie are home so i have my choice of adults to entertain me.



My new addiction since I was in England at Easter is the Noddy DVD that my Uncle John gave me. I watch it as often as I'm allowed for as long as I'm allowed. Today I also saw Cinderella 1 and a half times. I love the mean cat and the cheeky mice and the magic. Not so keen on the mushy romance.

I can also report 2 more teeth have arrived. Upper canines. They're not all the way out yet which can be a bit sore.

And I had a new babysitter last week. A lovely lady called Sinéad came and minded me for a couple of hours last Tuesday when Mammy went off the choir. She was very nice and played loads of games with me. So I've told Mammy she can book her again.
