Well it's New Year's Eve, and what a year it's been. Mummy says
there was a time when she didn't think I'd make it through to Christmas, but here I am, and I'm fit as a fiddle. Christmas was super. I had loads of attention from everyone, and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I'll give you a quick run down. On
the Sunday before Christmas I saw Granny and Grandpa Meikle, plus Auntie Emma, Uncle Philip and cousin Daniel. Auntie Cath and Great Auntie Rosie also arrived from Liverpool. We had a nice lunch,
played with toys and looked at the Christmas tree. On Christmas Eve I went to Church for the first time. I saw a real donkey and some lambs, and jigged along to the Christmas carols on mummy's lap. Auntie Shellie and Uncle Chris arrived in the evening, so I just had time to say hello before I went to bed to wait for Santa to arrive. And arrive he did! I had so many presents that I didn't finish opening them until late on Christmas day. A big thank you to everyone who bought me a present. I'm going to start writing my thank you letters this afternoon. Look at me riding on the car that Granny and Grandpa Meikle bought for me, and holding onto my giraffe walker from Auntie Shellie and Uncle Chris. I did a clever thing on Christmas Day, although I did cheat just a little bit...I rolled over with the help of a cushion. I can't quite
do it without a cushion yet, but I'm nearly there! Mummy says she'll have to have eyes in the back of her head now. Anyway Christmas day was lovely. Mummy made a lovely lunch, helped by daddy, Chris and Cath. Aunty Shellie gave me my breakfast and Great Auntie Rosie fed me my lunch. I got lots of attention - lucky me! On Boxing Day we drove up to Birmingham to see Great Granny Jackie, and give her her presents. I gave her a book with lots of photographs
of me in which she liked a lot. I saw Godmother Becky on Thursday and Godmother Jenny on Friday(that's me and her chatting in the photo), so I was more than ready for a quiet weekend with mummy and daddy. Except I'm so used to having so much attention over Christmas that I was a bit naughty and wanted mummy and daddy to play with me all the time. I've also been waking up in the night because of
my teeth hurting, so they weren't very impressed with that. But it didn't stop them from hitting the sales yesterday and buying me lots of lovely new clothes from NEXT, and a Bumbo seat from Mothercare. It helps me to sit up. Don't I look cool in it. It's a lovely cheery red colour. They've also ordered me a new lightweight buggy and a lovely wooden High Chair - so I'm excited to try them both out when they arrive. So what will 2008
bring? Well 3 new cousins for a start (Congratulations Auntie Shellie and Uncle Chris!). The first 2 will come in March and then another one in July. Mummy will go back to work (eventually), and I will start going to Nursery which is exciting. I'll also go abroad for the first time when we visit our friends in Austria in May. But first things first I've
got an exciting trip to a pantomime with Cousin Daniel on Thursday, and then a weekend away at Centreparcs with Granny Judy later on in January, so I'm looking forward to that. No staying up late for me tonight, I'll be getting an early night, whilst mummy goes and rings the bells for the New Year. Happy New Year to all of you who like to keep up with my exploits, and thank you for all your support in 2007. You'll just have to keep tuning in to see what I get up to in 2008!
