Come On England!!!

The country is in World Cup fever and England play Germany tomorrow in the final 16 of the World Cup! They very nearly didn't make it - I hope they play their best tomorrow and knock Germany out (and Rooney starts to earn his wages!)- fingers crossed!

I had to have my booster immunisations this week too - I was very good and only cried a little bit, it was all over so quickly! I have to have my MMR jab in a few weeks so not looking forward to that - but after that one I'm free from needles until my next round of immunisations before school.

I've also started to pull myself up and I'm able to stand up by holding onto the furniture - it's fun being able to reach all those things that I couldn't get to before! Mummy and Daddy really do need eyes in the back of their head as I'm up to all sorts of mischief these days!

My teeth are finally coming through now - I've got 4 at the top and 1 bottom tooth, I'm beginning to look a bit goofy now!

Me and Binksy!

Happy Birthday to Me!!

BIRTHDAY BOY!

I've just celebrated my 1st birthday - not once but twice, just like the Queen! For my actual birthday Mummy and Daddy took me to the Aquarium and then Paulie and Bronwyn came over for tea and cake. Later on in the week we all went to Somerset and I had a joint birthday celebration with Grandpa and had more cake and balloons! I got lots of pressies - I was completely spoilt! It was a nice sunny weekend and I spent most of my time outside crawling around in the garden and pulling up Grandpa's geraniums. Gardens in Somerset are much bigger than our garden so I was always very tired after my day of crawling around and exploring. I might have to think about getting some wheels soon when I get more stronger on my feet!

We all had lots of fun on my birthday - It was a fond farewell to my baby days and a chance for Mummy and Daddy to reminisce and look forward to all the new adventures that we'll have in the future. Baby Milo has now grown up into Little Milo!

Phew! What a busy week!!! I've started my full days at Nursery as Mummy's now returned back to work. I'm there for 3 days 8am-6pm - long days! Our routine has changed hugely for all of us so it was quite hard work and very tiring to settle into. I'm sure as time goes by we'll get into the swing of it and it'll get easier. Mummy has to leave early so it's up to Daddy to get me up and changed and give me my morning milk. Then he drops me off at nursery in time for my breakfast. Mummy has the best bit of picking me up in the evenings. I'm so tired by then that all I'm ready for is my bath and bed! I think Mummy's ready for her bed too!

Nursery is good fun - there's lots to do and as the weather's been nice I've been outside alot playing with the water and sand pit. I'm in a bit of a mess by the end of the day!

I also had my first haircut which Granny did for me - no more long messy hair getting in my eyes - so I was very smart for my first day at Nursery.

My new obsession - I like the spin cycle the best!

The last few weeks were spent trying out my new nursery. I had a few settling in sessions to see how I would get on. The idea was for Mummy to stay with me just in case I needed her. Well, I enjoyed myself so much and was so busy making friends and investigating all the new toys that I think Mummy felt a bit in the way! So she left me on my own most of the time as she didn't want to cramp my style! It was fun - I think I'm going to really enjoy going to nursery!
