Thursday 31st July 2008

Another busy week. We started it off with coffee and cakes with the WAG's that are in town on Friday. It was nice to see Luise again and see Becca before she heads off to the UK to become Mrs Stokes. We went to Cova and had blueberry cheesecake for old times sake!! It was also daddy's last official day in the office today, I am looking forward to spending lots of time with him over the next few weeks.

On Saturday daddy finally got a chance to use his barbeque again, when Vicky and Rob came to visit. I was very excited too and decided not to go to bed at night until they had left - very naughty, but did have a lie in the next day. We had a very chilled Sunday - we went to the clubhouse for coffee and took the Sunday papers with us - mummy says this is how every Sunday should be!! The picture at the top is of me and daddy reading a magazine over coffee in the clubhouse.

We have spent most of the week trying to complete jobs and sort things out for Singapore. We went into Central on Tuesday and daddy picked up his new glasses - he looks very good. I also managed to embarrass mummy by vomiting carrot sick on her - she had to go to M&S to buy some more trousers as we were on our way to the bank to set up a Singapore account. Hee hee - add to this the fact that she has a bruise on her cheek, where I went to kiss her and sucked really hard instead!!! And the fact that she thinks she is beginning to get bald patches as I keep pulling her hair at every opportunity. 

I have had a fabulous eating week! I am now on 2 meals a day and get very excited when I am put in my high chair. I still have not moved on from the staples of sweet potato, carrots, apples and pears, but am having a lot more food and mummy is mixing it with rice to make sure my tummy is filled. I am really very good and getting the spoon in my mouth now, although I occasionally end up with some on my forehead, ears, hair and eyes - oops! The picture at the top shows clearly how good my table manners are. I am also starting to drink from my cup, but much prefer it when mummy takes the top off and lets me drink it like a grown up or if we are out and about and I am allowed it straight from the bottle!! Generally do not drink much (if any) but enjoy pretending.

I have also found a new toy to play with. I have my own games on the computer, now when I hit mummy's keyboard creatures pop up saying "Peakaboo" or my favourite is the "All aboard" game where I can move the train and tractor across the screen by hitting buttons. These get mummy very confused as sometimes I hit buttons that make her screen go bigger or changes the layout and she cannot work out how I did it!! How embarrassing at 6 months old I am more computer literate than my mummy!

Well it is still very hot here (good practice for Singapore) so am going to go and chill in my nice air conditioned bedroom. Speak soon
