Meeting Santa...

Last night, right, I met this man. He was quite chubby, and dressed in red, with these natty black boots, a very odd hat (he must have a mummy like mine) and a very fluffy white beard. He was very cheerful, and Mummy and Daddy said his name was Father Christmas. Now, what's this all about? I wouldn't shake his hand - I was too busy staring and staring and staring, though I did smile at him, and he was very nice. But how is he the daddy of a day? I don't really remember last Christmas, though I've seen photographs of how stylish I looked (dressed fairly similarly to this man, actually) and I do remember tinsel. Tinsel is great, I like tinsel. Even the word. tinsel tinsel tinsel. But what is it all about? Mummy and Daddy have been talking about Christmas and I know secrets are involved. I guess I'll find out...

Other news - I got my first pair of shoes! And I walk in them everywhere I can (though Mummy and Daddy do seem to like stopping me quite often). I'm *very* good at walking now and walked around the shopping centre where we met Father Christmas. I can also, when music plays (or when 'Boogie Beebies' is on) walk 'round in a circle, dancing! I do look very good doing it, I'm sure...

Halloween and more...

Just had my first Halloween trick or treating session...well, I went to Nanny's and to Grandma's wearing my 'little devil' costume. They thought I looked very good! (Mummy kept taking my picture too). Daddy had the day off work and we went to the local shopping centre and lots and lots of people smiled at me! We had noodles for lunch which was lots of fun.

In the week Mummy and I went to Hemsby for three days with Grandma, Great GRandma, and Auntie Karen - but NO DADDY! I slept for lots of the journey, and we managed to get into Hamsby sea-front, to see the lights (and dogs, lots and lots of dogs) and we also went to the beach, where they stopped me from eating sand and stones. It was lovely having all my lovely female relations with me to look after me and play with me, and we were very lucky with the weather too - I even wore a sexy sleeveless vest on the way home - but I didn't sleep very well and I did miss my Daddy...and my toys.

In the last few days my walking has come on leaps and bounds (well, I'm not *THAT* advanced yet). A couple of months ago I managed my first steps, but I'm such a careful little boy that I refused to do any more until I could do it properly, without falling over, or running fullout till I crash land. I'm very good at it now - I can walk a bit, stop, crouch down, stand up again, and carry on walking! I can even kick a ball while I do it too! It helped seeing Auntie Keira on Sunday and Nathaniel on Monday as they both walk and run about.

Today Grandma is coming over this evening and I might just show her how much I've improved since Sunday!
