photoshoot

Auntie Clara is here! we are having so much fun! Yesterday we went shopping for a bit in Wimbledon (Clara got a new nice jacket and skirt).

Today we went swimming, me not likey very much at all...and I even had a bit of a cry as I got in (it was pretty cold!)! Anyhow I am now at home chilling out with Clara and mamma, and we decided to have a photoshoot, you will notice from the pictures that mamma is not as used to the camera as I am, she really doesn't like it, whereas I don't mind at all!

Here is a sneak preview from today's shoot - thanks Clara for taking some great photos with your snazzy professional camera! 


such a daddy's girl...


Saturday! woke up after another great nights sleep, I am really getting the hang of this now and feel so refreshed (mamma not so much) when I wake up! yesterday morning I thought of getting up at 5am but mamma convienced me to go back to sleep. My routine is bath (most nights) then some flavoured water to drift me off to sleep at about 7:30-8pm, then I eat at 11pm (don't usually wake up for it) and sleep to five or six in the morning when I am usually hungry again.

Today we went to northcote road (aka nappy valley) in the morning to get a present for mamma and daddy's friends. Then we went to see cousin Harry to have a coffee and chat (big people had coffee and Harry and I chatted).

On my way home in the car I was so grumpy and decided to cry. Have forgotten to tell you about Marge's (mammas car) stereo....it is stuck on one volume only (quite loud), so mamma and daddy put on the stereo whilst I was having a good old cry only to realise it put me straight to sleep...so soothing....and for some reason mamma thinks I am such a daddy's girl...I can highly recommend this song to anyone who has problems sleeping: CHOOOOON!!! big fish, little fish (some dance moves daddy will teach me one day!)




it's Clara time!!!

Great news! Auntie Clara is coming to visit me tomorrow!

This is me relaxing with Clara in August (I was really very small then!). I can't wait for all the cuddles!


NCT Amigos!!!

As promised here is a photo of me and the NCT gang! In age order (from left):

Henry, Maxwell, Nancy, Me!, Sophie, William, Frederick and Isabelle.



Today's outfit

Today’s outfit:

Top: Vintage collection of KappAhl (gift from Auntie Sara – thanks!)
Trousers: my skinny jeans of course!


My cousin Harry

Woke up early, daddy went off to work (buhu!). Mamma and I went swimming, wasn't too keen but we did something new today which I actually quite enjoyed! The teacher swam with me underwater towards mamma who was sitting waiting for me several meters away underwater! (she could see me coming as she had some funny underwater glasses on…!), I was kicking away which impressed the teacher.

After lunch we went to see Harry my cousin! We had loads of fun on his playmat, auntie Vicky played with me as well. Isn’t he really cool my cousin?! Hopefully we see him again tomorrow.

 

Harry and I on his playmat:


 

Oh, another thing, I got a Bumbo seat today! It is really a lot of fun:



see you later my friends! thanks for reading my blog!

Daddy forever

I was such a good girl and slept all night (slept through my 11pm feed). Last night mamma and daddy was watching 'Children in need' gala on BBC, I am not sure why they watch it every year as mamma cries the whole evening (and daddy calling her an emotional mess...). But mamma has promised that she will get me a poster and buya music single and give money to the less fortunate children that needs it which is of course good. You can buy the single (and give money to children in need) that mamma and daddy thinks I will enjoy when I get a little bit bigger which features the Wombles of Wimbledon!:


 

When I woke up daddy was still in bed! Which means it's the weekend and daddy isn't going to work - yay! But just to be sure I decided to pin him down:




We started the day with a walk in the Wimbledon common so Pimms and Cody could chase some squirrels....again they didn't catch any...they are pretty useless at it to be honest, to be frank I am not sure why we bother.

In the afternoon auntie Michele came which was lovely, I had a cuddle and they had some lunch and daddy and I watched some rugby.

I have just had my bath - nice and clean, now it's bed time so I must dash - until next time my friends KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON!

Oh, this is a new top I got yesterday and wore today:


Walkies!

Mamma and I took he dogs to Wimbledon common this morning. It took Marge only five minutes to get us there! Here are some pics from this morning (click on the photos to enlarge):

Me in my pram - funky tree!

James and I out on adventures

This morning mamma and I took 'Marge' (mammas car!) to see Danielle and James, usually we walk but we wanted to try Marge out and she didn't disappoint! From Danielle and James’s house (James’s dad Ben lives there too but he is at work like my daddy during the day so I rarely get to see him) we walked (James and I chilling in our prams) to Wimbledon where Danielle and mamma got some window shopping done, then James got hungry so we went to Wagamamas (he is a big boy, over one years old and gets to eat proper food!) where we all had lunch (I am so lucky and don’t have order of the menu!). Then we did some more window shopping and James and I had a snooze before we went back to Danielle and James’s house. There we played and had tones of fun on their sofa.

I have a bit of a runny nose and a little cough so mamma got me some stuff from the chemist which has now worked wonders and I am now fast asleep in my cot at home after a hectic but very fun day out!

Mamma is now on the hunt for some fury pink dice (unless she gets some from daddy for Christmas) that we can pimp Marge with, so when we are done I will take some photos and upload here!



so far so good

Monday swimming wasn't awesome but I sort of enjoyed it. William couldn't make it as he is poorly with a cold (get better quick!), so it was only myself and Sophie from the nct group that splashed about. At the end of the class we got to chill in some really cool blown up rubber turtles - that was great fun!

I was exhausted in the afternoon so just took it easy at home with the dogs after a long walk in the park.

On Tuesday I had my third vaccination (last one until I am one!) ouch! it hurt! But I was brave and only cried for a few seconds afterwards. Then we took Pimms and Cody to the Wandsworth common for a superwalk (superwalks are nearly 3 hours long where a lot of squirrel chasing takes place). I took it easy in the pram and had a couple of naps (Man, is the pram comfy for naps!). 

I had such a good sleep last night! I went to bed at my scheduled bedtime around 7.30pm after a nice bath, slept through the dreamfeed at 11pm (eating and sleeping = NICE!) and all night until 6am where I was all smiley in my cot when mamma picked me up. Then I ate and snoozed until 9ish when mamma woke me up. I think I needed that sleep and I suspect that the vaccination gets me a bit tired (but luckily no other side effects!) as well as all the fresh air. Also I think mamma and daddy are a bit tired of me insisting to stay up with them in the evenings so I thought I do the decent thing and let them have some time on their own, little did I know Yma came around for dinner, had I known that I would obviously had stayed up for a bit.

Today after my marathon sleep we took Pimms and Cody for another superwalk in the Wandsworth common, quite mild weather but VERY windy and a tiny bit of rain. Mamma seems to think that Antartica is only 15 minutes away as she dress me for a polar expedition with buggy stormcover and everything! I had a few snoozes in my lovely pram and enjoyed watching Pimms and Cody chasing squirrels (that is really all they do, except for eating and sleeping...). This afternoon I have been on my playmat and had some rhyme time with mamma, she puts on this karaoke for kids (on the iPod) in Swedish and sing-a-long and dance with me. Daddy seem amazed that I enjoy it as he doesn't like her singing, he mentions something about a cat being strangled but I don't know what that sounds like. I think she is great and that she should audition for X-FACTOR next year!

Tonight mamma and daddy might pick up our new car, who knows, if we decide to 'pimp it' I will definitely show you some picks! Mamma has named her 'Marge', I hope she will take us out on lots of adventures.

Arrivederci!

Attention all petrolheads

New season of Top Gear has started! If mamma and daddy thought I would stick to the normal 7.30pm bedtime routine they had another thing coming! I decided to watch almost entire episode of Top Gear with daddy then I spent some time blowing rasperries (my favourite thing at the moment - and I am getting pretty good at it too!). Just had my last feed for the night and should be sleeping all night (hehe...!) until swimming with my friends William and Sopie in the morning.

We had a great afternoon (no rain for once!) walking the dogs in the Wimbledon common with Yma and Chris, then we went to see a car that we might buy!

Welcome back Hammond, Clarkson and May! see you next Sunday!

Good night and don't let the bed bugs bite!

xoxo


You can't always get what you want...

Sweet Sunday, chilling out, daddy is still at home so feeling a bit rock n'roll today! yeah!

(statement above doesn't really apply to me as I get what I want...!)

Still on the hunt for 'Marge' (mammas named her car that) so we are looking at a couple this afternoon.

Today's outfit:

Rolling stones top: H&M
Skinny Jeans: H&M








NCT reunion party

Early start today looking for a car after I slept all night until 8am! Mamma and daddy had fun at the party last night, they were out for a few hours and I didn't miss them at all, had far too much fun with Yma and Chris! Thank you so much for looking after me!!!

After looking at some cars we went to the party at my friend Nancy's house. Her parents Bonamy and Simon had organised a great lunch for all the mums and dads that they all loved! It was great fun to play with all my friends, I borrowed Nancy's Bumbo seat for a bit which I loved and I hope I will get one of my own for christmas!

As I mentioned yesterday we had a group photo shoot planned, and it went really well! Mamma had to wake me for it but I quickly got into it and even smiled, we were all very happy laying on a mat on the floor in age order. I am forth out of eight and there are four boys and four girls in total; Henry, Maxwell, Nancy, Me, Sophie, William, Frederick and Isobelle. I can't wait to show you the photo! I decided to go for my lovely french dress that auntie Anna got me from Paris.

Not sure what we have planned for tonight but as Mamma decided not to watch X-Factor anymore I guess I can't expect that, although I am quite keen to see Jamie Afro perform as he is my favourite! His hair takes up the whole tv screen and it makes me laugh! I hope mamma changes her mind about it and let me watch a bit!

later alligators!


Party

Mamma and daddy are going to a party tonight which means godmummy Yma and Uncle Chris are coming to babysit! I can't wait! It's my dads friend Oliver's 40th birthday party - Happy birthday Olly!

We had a great day out today looking at different cars as we we might buy one for mamma and me. I was very well behaved and charmed everyone with my smile! Mamma even got time to do some shopping, she bought a beautiful bright red lipstick that she is going to wear tonight.

Tomorrow is Saturday and I'll get to meet all my friends again! It's a renunion party for all the NCT mum and dads and the babies that were born in the same week as me - although I have met them all since we were born we have never had a reunion where all the mum and dads are together at once.  I am very much looking forward to this party and will tell you all about it tomorrow.

I have just been told there will be a group photo shoot of us all (babies only of course!) so now I just need to figure out what to wear for that!

Must dash as helping mamma getting ready for the night...!

What happens at night?

Mamma and I had a lovely day yesterday with the dogs (they are still knackered!), we went to the Wandsworth common for about three hours.

Last night daddy came home with great news! He obviously missed me too much and decided that the weekend should start early so he took today as holiday and will stay with me all day - very exciting!

What happens at night? I only started asking myself this question recently and decided to find out last night. Mamma and daddy didn't seem impressed and they look tired this morning (especially mamma). I wasn't screaming or anything just wanting to stay up and see for myself what really goes on, and of course it's fun to roll around a lot and be very smiley. To be honest I am not sure I will need to inspect any further night time activities as there wasn't much at all happening. But we'll see, like I have mentioned in the past sometimes I have to do something unexpected once in a whilte to keep mamma and daddy on their toes. They should under no circumstances take sleeping all night for granted!

Yesterday Grace Anabelle arrived! - Welcome to the world Grace! I can't wait to meet you! Congratulations to Emily and Rob!

Today's outfit:

Top: White with pink dots (Little White Company)
Trousers: Skinny Jeans (H&M)
Tights: TU of Sainsburys (its cold so I have tights under my skinny jeans)

Also please note that I have recently started wearing a bib as I like to make a lot of mess drooling (maybe I have teeth coming?!), I have however asked mamma to take it off for the 'today's outfit' shoot as it doesn't always match my outfit.

Thursday

Nearly the end of the week again which means daddy will be home with me for two whole days! yippie!

Cousin Harry is back from Spain and I hope I will see him today or tomorrow.

we have no real plans today except for taking the dogs out for a very long walk in the woods, I can't wait!

This is what I am wearing today:

Top: Pippi Longstocking top (home knitted! thanks Cajsa!)
Trousers: Jeans from Lindex


Today's outfit and adventures

Took the dogs out this morning, Cody found the ball he lost yesterday in the park, then he lost the new ball mamma had bought him then lost the old one again...he is so annoying! It’s hard to keep up with him and the balls he keeps loosing…!

In the afternoon Bonamy, mammas friend and her baby Nancy (my friend!) picked us up and we went to meet some of the friends that were born around the same week as me; Sophie (and her mum Jenny), Isobelle and Freddie (twins and their mum Nathalie), Maxwell (his mum Lisa), mamma and her friends drank coffee and had some yummy cookies Lisa had brought back from their trip to South Africa. I had loads of fun chatting away with my friends and showing off my new trick (rolling over!), I think they were all impressed. We will see them all again on Saturday (as well as two further friends that couldn't make it today) at Bonamy's house, I am very much looking forward to that!

One of my tricks to embarrass mamma is to make her sing out loud when we are walking along a busy road. I will be a bit grumpy and only smile when mamma sings songs out loud. This my fellow comrades is very funny so I suggest you try it!

Here is today’s outfit:

Top: Squirrel detailed top from H&M
Trousers: Jeans from Polarn & Pyret (they are still a bit big but I grow so quickly now so thanks auntie Sara I love them!)
Socks: H&M






Morfar (granddad) – my special guardian angel

As you are aware I went to Sweden recently, my mum is born in Visby, Gotland and grew up there. She came to London when she was 19 and met my dad about a year later, dad kept her here in London but she likes to go back once in a while to see family and I like it there very much. I understand the language (mamma talks Swedish to me) and I have lots of family there too that spoil and look after me, I will tell you more about my mormor/stepmormor, aunties, great grandma, and other family members sometime soon. I am also very lucky to have loads of cousins, aunties, uncles, Nana and granddad on my dads side too and I promise to let you know more about them all soon also (some of them live in Spain and speaks Spanish as well as English!).

Sadly this trip to Sweden was not for fun as my morfar past away on 14th October and we went to see my stepmormor and all my aunties and to say our farewell to morfar. Mammas dad was a very special man, she has promised me to keep his memory alive by telling me stories about him when I grow up. I was very lucky to have met him before he sadly left us; this was when we went to Sweden when I was about 6 weeks old, at the end of August earlier this year. I was cuddling with him and even have some photographs of us that I will treasure forever. Mamma was very sad when he died but she now thinks he is in a nice place looking over us, probably playing lots of golf and drinking single malt with his brother and father.

My morfar was a musician and played the trumpet, mamma and her sisters where always surrounded by lots of music in the house when she grew up. He was sometimes a bit forgetful and once left mamma when she was little at the local grocery store. Mamma says that my morfar was the nicest person in the world and she loved him very much. I am looking forward to hearing more stories about him. My aunt Andy sent mamma an email suggesting that he is now my very special guardian angel and I would like to think he is, and if I listen carefully I can hear him play his trumpet for me as I go to sleep every night.


Happy Birthday Yma!

I hope you like the present!


OMG! I rolled over!

So exciting! Today I rolled over! I was on my back playing away with Mr Parrot in my babygym when i suddenly saw my monkey book, and before you know it I was on my front! I am totally amazed by this new discovery and can't stop myself rolling about. Although I still love holding my feet with my hands when I am on my back so I will continue doing this trick when I am chillaxing on my back. Until next time Comrades ROCK n'ROLL!!!

Fireworks/birthday Party outfit

I finally settled for this autumn dress that Yma, my godmummy got me, I think it was suitable for the theme, what do you think?

Dress: BabyGap
Tights: Ahlens ('frillpants'!)

Thank you Jenny and John for a great party and for letting me sleep on your bed!




Today's lunch outfit

Today we went for lunch at Wagamama's in Wimbledon with mammas friend Danielle and her son James. I was on my best behaviour and mamma even got some window shopping in whilst I slept. It was lovely to catch up with James and I hope I will see him and his mummy and daddy very soon! James is almost a year older than me and lovely, I hope we will be good friends one day.

This is what I wore today:

White top (to charm daddy): Gap
Skinny Jeans: H&M (my favourites at the moment, I always get so many compliments wearing them so why not!)
Socks: Lindex
Not in picture: Beige Ugg boots

Btw, have been thinking about what I am going to wear at tomorrows fireworks/birthday party, not sure if its a skinny jeans type party or if I need to get one of my dresses out....can't decide! Stella McCartney has created a nice collection for BabyGap with some nice dresses, but they only had big girls sizes in the Gap we went to, buhu!


two days old

I was only two days old in this picture. As I only started the blog recently I will upload some 'old' photos here once in a while.




Back in business....for now...

So finally mamma bought a new internet adapter (she really wants a new laptop but I think she is hoping Santa will come with one). I can’t believe it’s nearly end of week, the weekend is tomorrow which is great because it means daddy will be with me for two whole days!

On Monday I went swimming and to be completely honest I wasn’t to keen on it, not that I was crying or anything but it was a while ago and I felt like I had forgotten some of the stuff already. But I went underwater a few times and we sang some songs and splashed about, what I liked most about the swimming was catching up with my friends who I haven’t seen in ages. William and Sophie have grown lots too. In the afternoon Nana, Vicky and Harry came, that was great fun. I had a good look at Harry and even played with his hair a bit, he didn’t seem to mind. The next day they went to Spain to meet the rest of the family, I am a bit jealous about this and hope that we will go there very soon; apparently I have seven cousins there! I can’t wait to meet them at Christmas when they will all be over.

On Tuesday we relaxed most of the day and took the dogs out for a long walk and went to the supermarket. My god mummy Yma came for dinner and some cuddles which was nice.

Wednesday was great because daddy stayed at home with us. We went to the woods so the dogs could chase squirrels and rabbits, we were there for ages and I didn’t mind, I actually quite like it, the air is so refreshing and I had a good snooze. Cody went swimming after sticks and Pimms did her usual barking at most things…

Today we went to visit Kirsty and Henry for lunch. It was a lot of fun watching Henry play with this toys, he is three months older than me and sits up all by himself (looked a bit complicated…) and he has two front teeth! I wonder when I will get mine. He also eats proper food, basically he seems all grown up and it’s nice to see what I have coming! Mamma had a lovely lunch that Kirsty had made and I had a snooze on Ifor (Henry’s dad and my daddys best friend) and Kirsty’s bed. Then we went home and took the dogs out before daddy got home.  

On Saturday we are going to a party, it’s my god mummy Yma’s birthday! And there will be lots of fireworks. I am not sure how long I will stay and what I will be wearing so I will think about this some more tomorrow.

I am not sure what else mamma and daddy got in store for the weekend but I hope it will be fun!

Ciao for now!

PS. I will be better at updating this blog going forward now when I have proper internet! Yay!


Internet and other amazing things

I had hoped to write quite a lot today to tell you about my great day but internet adapter has failed is today, so the only one working stationary pc we have from circa 1859 doesn't connect...buhu! In short (I will write more asap!) my day started with a swim. It was great meeting my friends William and Sophie! Then nana, auntie Vicky and Harry came! He is now same size as me and very cute! We will have so much fun together! I had a great little inspection of him and we held hands as he smiled at me, we both know how much trouble we will be getting into...! Yay I can't wait! I have been thinking about sharing some of my knowledhe with you all and have decided that I will make a blogg feature of it, basically it will be tips on how you as a baby can maximise your service provided by your parents, I hope you will find this helpful. As I come up with my techniques I will let you know. For examples when bored in bed scream as much as you can until someone pics you up then demand only the best swinging (mamma gets a great leg workout at the same time so you are really doing them a favour) cuddling until you fall asleep happy and satisfied. I will write more as soon as I can! Ciao for now! Xoxo

Chillax

Oh sweet Sunday! Mamma got me at 6am, had a feed then got to snooze with mamma and daddy until 11 - sweet! Weather (rainy and stormy autumn weather) not worth getting up for anyway! The dogs weren't even interested in going outside in the garden and that is saying something (squirrels having a good old party on the fence!)!

My god mummy Yma came to visit - great! Haven’t seen her for ages! Then Nana came - brilliant! I've been cuddling most of the day (got proper spoilt in Sweden!), then chatted with daddy on the sofa for a bit whilst he watched the grand prix. Mamma and Yma took the dogs to the common whilst I stayed at home with Nana and Daddy.

Giggling...where shall I start. Mamma and Daddy read somewhere that I should start doing this about now...so they are pulling funny faces and making weird noices...someone please tell them to do something worth giggling about.

Not much more to report from today...oh yes maybe...I CONFESS...after being so good all day I decided to have a good old cry...no reason really, just thought they better not get used to me being all sweet and cuddly all the time, I need to take the time once in a while to show them who's boss you know. I was a bit tired and might have hammered it up a bit (saying this I do not recommend excessive crying as it knackers you out!) until I exhausted myself, but it was worth it! Now I must get my beauty sleep before swimming in the morning. Can't wait to catch up with my mates William and Sophie.

love you all!
