This is Absolutely A List Of My Extremely Favourite Things

I thought I would give you a run-down of what I have been up to lately (and what I like doing) - most of the things I like and dislike, I feel extremely ever so strongly about!

• Remote controls - I LOVE them. I LOVE them so much, that when I get one in my hands, I do a special trembling thing, which means that I ABSOLUTELY EXTREMELY LOVE something. Mummy gets concerned when she sees me doing my special trembling thing, but I don't care because I EXTREMELY LOVE IT.
  
  BTW... I don't like remote controls that are actually given to me to play with - these are ones that clearly do not work... Mummy and Daddy must think I am daft!
• Light switches - let me touch one, and I am happy. I like to look upwards after I have pulled a string, to double-check whether the light has come on. Sometimes it doesn't work - particularly when it is attached to some of Mummy's clothes, or hanging off Mummy's ear. Very annoying.
• Balls - what can I say... it is a distinct contender for my First proper word (other than Dada and Mumumum)... along with "Ted", "Flower" and "Woof". Throwing balls is my fave game, and I am really rather good at it. I have decided I prefer Netball to Football though - Mummy told me it is much more exciting.
• Walking with my walker - this makes me giggle so much, because I am so EXTREMELY good at it! Sometimes though it makes my knees go wobbly when I laugh too much, so I have to stick my tongue out to help me concentrate. I wish I could make it go in a straight line though - then I could properly chase the cat with it!
• Mia - I would actually like to give her the biggest hug ever, and pull those long tickly things on her nose. Its just such a shame that she is so extremely busy all the time, and has to go out when I try to talk to her.
• Water - I EXTREMELY love it. I like to bath in it, and drink it, and save it in my mouth so that I can spit it at Mummy when she doesn't suspect I have it. This makes her pull a funny face, and I just have to laugh at her because she looks so silly. I am such a big boy because I can drink it out of my own cup. Hilarious!
• Iggle Piggle - Iggle Piggle is my idol - I want to be just like him. The other day I was watching him on TV and he did a big sneeze and fell backwards. That was SO funny, so I tried it too. How come it hurt me, when it didn't seem to hurt him??? Very confusing! Upsy Daisy is also quite cool - particularly when she dances. It makes me want to shake my bootie when she does that! Me and Mummy do lots of silly dances throughout the day - although I obviously look less ridiculous than Mummy, who seems to get a bit carried away with herself at times. I also love The Waybuloo and Tellytubbies... and the music to Chuggington and 64 Zoo Lane make me giggle.
• Telephones - again like remote controls, the pares keep fobbing me off with pretend ones of these - but I absolutely extremely LOVE talking to Nana on the phone when Mummy lets me. It makes me do all my heavy breathing routine, which Nana loves. Sometimes though I have been known to ring wrong numbers, and cut off people when they are talking when Mummy isn't concentrating. Silly Mummy.
• Cuddly toys - I love to nose my big Teddy, and give him special hugs. The best thing is when he lets me try to put my dummy in his mouth - HILARIOUS! I also love my red sausage dog that Aunty Jen bought me in Austalia - he has prompted me to start saying "Woof" whenever I see him!
• Sandwiches, blueberries and Yoghurt - yum yum yum! I will not ever, NEVER eat an avocado though!
  
  I have been tricking Mummy for quite some time into thinking that I can only eat things as thin as soup (I like to see her with a furrowed brow)... however, whenever I am with my friends at nursery, I like to eat all sorts of lumpy things! I had managed to keep it a secret for quite some time, until Mummy ruined my fun and started poking around and talking about me behind my back. I thought she had sussed me out a while back when I started eating bird poo and leaves in the garden without pretending to gag - silly Mummy didn't catch on for AGES though!

Anyway.... that's all I can think of for now! Mummy is sooooooo slow at typing sometimes! I will give you more when I think of them! ;-)

I Feel Good, I Knew That I Would Now...

You will be pleased to know that I am feeling so so so much better this week - although, as ever I have the normal 'number 11' nose thang going on, and a few patchy rashes. I like to keep a few ailments on the go just so that Mummy and Daddy don't rest on their laurels! I had been having so much fun with Mummy and Daddy while I was sick last week though that I didn't want to go to nursery yesterday or today - so have been needing extra cuddles from the girls there. Rhiannon, my special girlfriend at nursery, is not even there to make me feel better. I will make Mummy pay for this later by refusing to go to sleep without at least 100 extra kisses!

Anyway - here is a picture of me on my ten month birthday last weekend. I am trying to think of new ways to get into cupboards without Mummy noticing - you can tell by the expression on my face that it's a very difficult thing to puzzle out.

I have some nice plans for the rest of the week (aside from bloomin' nursery again tomorrow). On Friday day-time I am meeting Aunty Jane and my friend Benjamin for lunch, and in the evening my Nanny and Grandad arrive for the weekend. I can't wait to see Nanny again so that I can do my special heavy breathing thing that we like to do when we see each other. I'm not sure why she does this, but I join in and make her think that it's my idea. Over the weekend I will be thinking of my Australian friends Campbell and Aiden - who are having their big boys 2nd Birthday! YAY! I hope they will give my Mummy some ideas of what to do for boys on their birthdays, as my first one is only two months away now!

Have a great Wednesday!
Lots of love

An Eventful Week...

So this week I have been REALLY poorly, and even ended up in the hospital on Wednesday, to get me checked out. Thankfully, despite the fact I gave the impression that I was dying at the GP's office when Mummy got home from work, I managed to get myself round so that I was on top 'charm offensive' form for the nurses once I got to hospital... a pretty blonde one even called me Handsome! Although Daddy swears that she was talking about him instead! Anyway... the reason I had to go was because I wasn't drinking enough yummy water, and I also had such a sore mouth that I had to hang it out to get the cool air to it... clearly a great look ;-) They decided to give me a horrible noisy spray for my tongue (which I DO NOT like having), but it does help me to eat as it makes my tongue go all tingly. In fact yesterday (Thursday), I even managed to eat some soil from a pot plant once my tongue was all numb - but Mummy is never satisfied and made me spit it out! Sheesh!!

Anyway... Mummy says we have a pretty dull weekend coming up as we have to stay away from all other children, in case I give them one of my special licks and give them my nasty illness. I actually think its gonna be great, as I will get Mummy all to myself (Daddy is working all weekend), and make her run up and down while I find "dangerous" things to do! She gets SO cranky when I pull myself up to standing by those things on the wall, and stick my wet fingers into the little holes! I am SOOOOOOOO clever these days! I even almost stood up by myself today, but it made me laugh so much that I fell over before I could show Mummy properly. I will show Iggle Piggle later in my cot...

Hostile Takeover Bid...

So, Mummy is pretty rubbish at all this blogging stuff just lately. She pretends that she doesn't get time, but I know for a fact that she finds time to update her Facebook account, so I don't know what her caper is! Therefore, I am taking a leaf out of Lenabel McShearer's book and am taking over the blog! I am much more eloquent than Mummy anyway... and much better looking.

Anyway - I have been causing a bit of trouble just lately with various illnesses I have been picking up from nursery. They keep telling me not to lick other children, but I just can't help myself - they all taste so good. At the moment I have Hand, Foot and Mouth diease, which they tell me is a nasty old virus. It has made my mouth really really sore, and I can't seem to make my mind up about what I want to eat. When I try to eat what Mummy gives me, it hurts all the sores in my mouth - even though I am really hungry! So I have to keep getting grumpy old Mummy out of bed to give me milk at *just* the right temperature (not too hot and not too cold) - which she seems to be struggling with. Silly Mummy. It's such a shame that I have this virus as I can't go to nursery and play with my friends, or even better, follow my beloved Rhiannon around. She has lovely long eyelashes, and very pretty long hair which I like to clutch on to - especially when she tries to ignore me and play with other children.

So, I had better let Mummy get back on the computer and do this 'work' thing she keeps bleating about. I thought you would like to see a picture of me first though that was taken on a recent camping trip to North Norfolk. It was my first time in a tent, and I loved how hot and sleepy it made me... I have seen Mummy sleeping like this some nights after she has been out, and it looked like a cool thing to do ;-)

Kisses For Mummy

Ok...

So - baby Ewan is here (and more than seven months old, can you believe!), and I am back at work... I will try to get some blog updates back on the cards... (but not today!).

Looking forward to sharing some Ewan-ness with you!
