Holidays

Thursday 4th June 2009

We have had a busy weekend - we went away on holiday to Bintan. We had a fun ferry ride across and then a bus came to take us to the hotel. it was a fun bus ride as there were lots of bumps and bends for us to go "weeee-eee" round! We had loads of fun playing in the pool, eating lots of yummy food and playing games. I tried some lovely new food - crab cake, red snapper and lobster bisque - mmm yummy!

The pictures i have included this week show me helping mummy brush her hair after swimming, playing in the pool with mummy, going for a walk with daddy and sunbathing with daddy around the pool. Our hotel room was very nice, it had a big balcony overlooking the pool and sea, and two rooms so that i could go to sleep whilst mummy and daddy stayed up. I had a nice cot, however the mattress was a bit lumpy, so once mummy and daddy went to bed I usually woke up and got into their huge bed - i figured it was only fair that with all of that room they shared it with me!!!

We landed back home on Monday evening and then daddy also had the Tuesday off work which was nice. We went for coffee in the morning and to the shops and I had my first babyccino. It was very nice, but i did make a bit of a mess!!

Wednesday was back to normal with swimming in the afternoon. After all of the practice at the weekend I really enjoyed my lesson and for the first time I managed to pick up the sticks (although this week they were Nemo Fish) from the bottom of the pool - yeah, well done me! We also practiced dolphin dives and I managed it first time. I jumped in the pool so many times whilst we were doing Humpty Dumpty and kept trying to make the biggest splashes i could!!

Finally today we had a quieter day as I went to the doctors for my MMR jab. Once again i was very brave and created more of a fuss about the thermometer in my ear than the needle in my leg - mummy thinks i must have sensitive ears! I was also weighed and am now 13.3 kgs (which is about 29lbs!) however i am nearly 85cm tall - so perfectly in proportion!! We spent the afternoon chilling out at home, in case I felt unwell, but I feel fine so far.

So all in all a busy week. Hope you are all keeping busy and I will speak to you soon

Take care and big kisses
