Vergemount's next top model pose

Vergemount's next top model pose

Mammy thinks there's something a bit Kate Moss about this pose. Of course when I grow up to be 5ft 2 there will be no modelling career and I don't think she'll be encouraging me down that path even if I am a natural poser. I also have the model-like fussiness over food and I try never to finish what's on my plate. I know I don't get this from my Mammy or my Daddy but they think it's no harm that I don't stuff myself!

As you can see, we visit my house quite a lot these days. It's better fun with Daddy than with Mammy because there's always plenty of time for splashing through puddles while he photographs every detail to look at later. I'm getting great use out of my wellies. It's very important that I'm there though - who would mind his camera bag if I wasn't. I'm getting a bit more input into which clothes I wear now so the colour combinations are getting more adventurous.

I'm getting great value out of my playmat. Mammy has bought me more toys to go on it so I have different things to look at and of course, when I let Ella play on it with me, there's always plenty to look at and laugh at. I've been for my second swim, in a different pool, called Riverview, which is nicer than the first one. My friend Peter came too. We swam up and down the big pool until he got a little bit cold and then we went to the warm baby pool for another splash. There was no time for taking photos as our Mammies were busy holding us and taking turn getting ready themselves.

I have to have a break from the pool for a couple of days now because I have a cold in my nose. Its yucky, specially when I wake up from a sleep. Mammy is putting smelly things in the bedroom to help me clear it and squirting me with water. I hope it doesn't last long. I think I got it because she doesn't know what clothes to put on me in this weather - it has rained every day for about half my life now but some days it's cold too and others it;s still quite warm.

No sign of that tooth yet. The talking practice is going well and I have a lovely laugh. I'll get Mammy to take some video so you can hear it.. Nana Kathleen is coming tomorrow.
