This week has been less hectic than anticipated, for a number of reasons, most of them to do with one person or another being ill. Godmother Becky had the flu so we couldn't visit her in Birmingham, and then I had a little cold and cough, so mummy and I thought it was best to steer clear of new little baby Amy in London (daughter of Simon and Katie), so that I wouldn't infect her with nasty germs. But here's a picture of Amy anyway - isn't she sweet? I'm going to visit her next week, and tell her all about how sleeping through the night is the way forward! But I've still had fun. I went for a lovely walk with my pals Ava and Alex on Tuesday- that's them in their buggies in the pictures, and then on Thursday I went over to see my aunty Emma, who is ready to pop out the twins at any moment - they aren't actually due for another 4 weeks, but I think my aunty would be more than happy for them to come now! Then today I've had a really exciting time, as I visited my new nursery for the first time - you can see it in the picture - doesn't it look lovely? I spent an hour there with mummy, and met two of the nice ladies who'll be looking after me - Emma and Martine. I'm so excited. They were really nice and played with me a lot. Next week mummy will leave me there for a whole hour by myself to see how I get on - I can't wait. Then I went to have lunch with my mate Alex, before off to the pub to see Nia, Amelia and Imogen, to have a few drinks and catch up on the gossip. There's lots to catch up on. They've all had a nasty tummy bug, which sounded horrid, but luckily everyone's better now. Anyway once we got home mummy and I decided that
I should have another go at eating blueberries. Well, as you can see, I think that smearing them all over myself is just as much fun as it was a couple of months ago. You can see my before and after pics - I think mummy anticipated I might make a bit of a mess, so captured my blueberry beard on camera! Other news is that I'm practising hard with my sitting up. I can sit up by myself for short periods of time under strict supervision, as I'm keen on doing backflips, which isn't very sensible with hard wooden floors around. I don't think it will be long before I can sit up properly though, I'm definitely improving. I'm looking forward to a Sunday chill out with Oscar and Gene this weekend. We're going to the Red Lion in Long Compton for Sunday lunch.


I'll also be seeing Godfather Ben tomorrow. He and daddy are going to look after me whilst mummy goes down to London to see some friends, so I need to be on my best behaviour. I'll see how I feel - I may be good, I may not be - he he....
