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...
