Day Twenty-Two

Thursday 30th October 2014 ~ Today I had my first bath with Mummy and my sister Clara. I really enjoyed being in the water. And then Daddy snuggled me up in a warm towel with my name on it (that the people at his work had bought for me)
After that, everyone took a long time to get ready so I had a little lie down in my crib, listening to the music and watching the birds flying around

Day Twenty

Tuesday 28th October 2014 ~ After being awake for half the night, I spent the morning sleeping all snuggled up in Mummy and Daddy's bed. Mummy thinks I look like I'm smiling
This afternoon I woke up especially for some cuddles and a chat with my Grandad

Day Nineteen

Monday 27th October 2014 ~ Today, my Daddy went back to work. I was pretty sad to see him go, but he gave me a hug and promised to come home soon so I tried my best not to cry.
After a while I fell fast asleep and was completely unaware that Clara's friend Arlo and his Mummy had come over for a visit to see me.
I still ended up with lots of cuddles though - Arlo's Mummy said I'm a real cutie.

Sunday 26th October 2014 ~ Today Mummy and Daddy dressed me up as the Hungry Caterpillar. 
They said it was just right for me because I'm a very hungry boy...

We all went to the pub for lunch for Uncle Ed's Birthday...
...but I slept all day long

Day Ten

Saturday 18th October 2014 ~ Today Mummy said my Uncle Ellis and Uncle Phoy were coming to meet me so she dressed me in the cool vest they bought me from New York. Unfortunately I peed all over it and had to change at least once before they arrived!...
In the middle of the day I wore stripes just like my Daddy
Uncle Ellis and Uncle Phoy came over at last and they thought I was cute as a button. They even joked about taking me home...
...but instead they stayed and gave me lots of cuddles until it was time for bed with Mummy

Day Nine

Friday 9th October 2014 ~ Today, I had my first trip to the cinema! Mummy smuggled me in behind a big medium box of popcorn and I got to sit on her lap while she and Daddy watched Gone Girl. Although I spent most of the time all sleepy and cuddled, from what I could gather the film was a stylish, slightly trashy yarn about a marriage that ploughs headlong into murder and madness. Mummy thought Ben Affleck did a really good job at portraying a dull brute of a husband and Daddy insisted he knew Rosamund Pike's character was a psychopath from the beginning - of course you did, Daddy! Four stars!
After the cinema, we went on a walk through London Fields, where the wildflowers are still blooming and the sun was just about breaking through the clouds.
We even managed to squeeze in a picture of all three of us, doesn't Daddy need a haircut!
Then it was time for lunch in the lovely little Italian with the car on the wall...
And of course, more cuddles, before we went home to pick up Clara from nursery.

They loved meeting me and said I was a very handsome boy.
