Me and my friends

Before I started nursery in January, I spent some quality times with my mummy and daddy. I couldn't possibly leave the monkey or moose out.

My 1st Christmas party

Before Christmas, my mummy and her friends organised a Christmas party for us special people. We went over to Frances's house for the day and played whilst the parents drank and ate. 'Secret Santa' had been organised by the mummys so a present was chosen for me and kept wrapped until the big day. We were too interested in the paper than the content.
It was good to hang out with my friends but wasn't too sure if I was supposed to be the Secret Santa everyone was talking about!

Taking over on the playmat

6 months old

Looking back now I achieved quite a bit in my first six months. Sitting up gave me a different perspective, reading was good fun and hanging out with grandparents still appealled. Grandpa Jevons even tried to teach me how to play the piano, talk about Hot Housing me or what!

Anyone over 60?

As Christmas was drawing near, mummy and daddy decided to take me on my first visit to Liverpool, not to visit this man, who isn't quite 60 (not long to go though!)...

...but to visit my two Great-Great Aunties in Liverpool. These ladies have been around for a while and we calculated a 95 year age gap between us! That day I visited a hospital and a home where much older people spend their days. Everyone seems to make a fuss of me.

I didn't get to see much of the Capital of Culture and daddy didn't even take me to see where the reds play. That can be saved for another visit!

Water baby

As mummy postponed her return to work until the New Year, she signed me up for swimming lessons in what was supposed to be a 'Hydro Pool' specially heated for little people. I hadn't been that comfortable in the bath so I suppose swimming was a good way to get me more confident in the water. Nowadays, bathtime is a good as I can sit up on my own, play with my toys whilst mummy and daddy entertain themselves with the bath foam. They need to get out more!
