Feeling better and talking!

Thursday 28th May 2009

Well we actually managed to complete all our planned activities this week now that I am feeling better. It started with play group on Friday, which was really good fun, although I did bang my face on the climbing frame and cut my lip - not a good start to the week. I am sure that you will be pleased to learn that was the only injury I suffered this week. Although daddy was convinced I was going to do myself more harm this week, as i have fallen over my feet so many times (and his feet too!!)

We had a nice weekend relaxing mainly at home again, we found a British pub to have lunch at and then I had a great time running around Vivocity and trying to escape mummy and daddy!! I had some yummy new food at the weekend as well - I tried marmite on my toast, I had most of daddy's sausage sandwich (after my own breakfast which consisits of weetabix and most of mummy's cheerio's) and I also had some scampi - yummy. I think it is fair to say my appetite is back now!

Other things we have done this week include music, the gym and swimming. Very active for a 16 month old baby! We also met up with Hannah and Charlotte - we met at a place called the Book Cafe, which has coffee and books, but also toys to play with. Perfect! Mummy and Hannah chatted about Hong Kong and long aeroplane journeys back to the UK with toddlers and Charlotte and I tried our best to empty the toy box and all the children's books from the shelf. My favourite toys in the box were the till and tea sets - yeah, I had loads of fun serving Charlotte endless cups of tea. Think that might be on mummy's hit list of things to buy me to keep me occupied!!

I spoke to Uncle Jonathan this week (and baby Manina!) and I finally worked out how the phone works - i get that you have to speak into the holes at the bottom now. Poor Uncle Jonathan had to speak to me for ages, because everytime mummy took the phone back I carried on talking. Now whenever I get a phone I grab it and talk and talk and talk - I do not think that it matters what you say, from watching mummy that's all she appears to do!!

Well I hope that you like this week's pictures. They are of me trying to pick up all the straws after I dropped (emptied!) them out all over the floor, chilling out and watching ITNG on my bean bag and being a big girl and using my step to wash my hands (aka splashing around in the water making a mess!!)

Love to you all
