Yesterday our Italian friends left us to go back to Italy. We had lots of fun with them here, although they were out sightseeing a lot I got to see them in the evenings and got lots of cuddles.

Mamma and I went swimming on Monday, went under water a few times and didn’t fancy it much but was ok, didn’t cry or anything. After the Christmas break we will probably not go swimming for a while, mamma says I might enjoy it more when spring comes and I am a bit bigger. After swimming we took Pimms & Cody out for walks in the woods and same again yesterday, we are about to go out this afternoon with them again after I have had my nap. I didn’t get a chance to have my morning nap as I had a lot of fun catching up with my friends William and Henry this morning when mamma was drinking coffee and chatting to their mums.


My pram wheel has punctured so mamma is on the hunt for a repair kit to fix it this evening, hopefully daddy will buy one for her today. I might go in the Baby Bjorn this afternoon. Marge is fantastic as always she always takes us to the woods and waits for us patiently in the car park; she is a bit muddy now after a few weeks of use so mamma might need to clean her this weekend. Luckily for Pimms we haven’t bumped into any more horses this week! Cody has been swimming every day in the small lake; he loves fetching the stick and can do it all day if we allowed him.

Today is Francesca’s birthday – Happy Birthday!

Grazie Simone and Francesca’s parents for the lovely presents!

It’s now two days since Clara left us and I miss her, I hope she will come back to visit soon again.

I don’t want to jinx anything by writing about it here on the blog but I can't help myself…I am so good (I know I keep going on about it but I really am!). I am going to sleep every night at 7:30/8pm after my flavoured water and leave mamma and daddy to have their dinner in peace. One of their favourite programs on tv has returned for a third series; 'Gavin & Stacey' so they are so happy that I am the sweetest baby around sleeping every night. TIDY!

Yesterday we went to fulham to see mammas work friend Meghna and her son Marcus after taking the dogs out in the common.

Today mamma and I (and Marge of course who took us there) took Pimms and Cody to the Wimbledon common so that they could chase some squirrels and rabbits (obviously they didn’t catch any). It was lovely weather today, 3 degrees and clear-blue skies! great! Pimms is quite a small dog and mostly very scared of just about everything…except for horses…she goes mental! So you can imagine how cross mamma got with her when she wouldn’t come back to us after chasing a horse (we are always on the lookout for horses so we can put both Pimms and Cody on the lead but we missed this one today). Luckily for Pimms the horse was very calm and decided to ignore her. Mamma says next time she might not be so lucky and the horse will probably have her for dinner. Cody went swimming today, he is a little bigger than Pimms and a lot braver, and he even likes playing with other dogs that are bigger than him. His favourite thing is swimming and to fetch a stick, mamma (or usually daddy when he is with us) throws a stick far out in the water and Cody swims out to get it, he can do this forever, he is very simpleminded, but lovely! After a long, nearly three hours, walk in the woods we went home and relaxed for the rest of the afternoon. Today is Friday so daddy will be home early and it is the weekend soon which means I get to see him more, although he is working tomorrow for a bit (unless I manage to pin him down again). I hope we will have a great weekend; I can’t wait to cuddle with daddy.

Until next time comrades – keep tidy!

here is Cody swimming today:

Today Marge (mammas car) took us into the west end. Clara, mamma and I went into Mayfair, St James Street to be exact. Mamma had lunch with some of her friends from work, I got to say hello to everyone in her office, it was lovely meeting them all again, Tor, Debs, Mitul, Matt, Sarge, Tara and Dan and everyone else (I pretended to be oblivious to their ‘cooing’ over me but I secretly think I charmed them all!).

Whilst mamma had lunch Clara and I went for a nice walk in Green park (see pic below of me snuggling in my pram). Then we went up Regent street to Oxford circus and Top Shop so Clara could do some more shopping (be warned she went mad – again!), mamma and I chilled in a Starbucks nearby then we went to Mamas & Papas feeding room so I could have a snack. Back at mammas work we took Marge home where we relaxed until I had my bath and got dressed in my ‘jammies’ that auntie Sara got me (finally I have grown big enough to wear them – see pic below). Then as usual the flavoured water got me to sleep in no time so now I am only waiting for my 11pm feed which will make me sleep all night until new adventures awaits tomorrow. All in all I have behaved so well today! No crying in Marge, no crying at all come to think of it!

Today’s outfit:
Top: Polarn & Pyret (thanks auntie Sara)
Trousers: my skinny jeans of course!

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!

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:

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):

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!

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!

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

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!

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
