Happy Birthday Auntie Tor!

Today is my Auntie Tor's Birthday!  Happy Birthday Auntie Tor!  I hope you have a lovely day and get to eat lots of food and especially lots of cake - I like birthday cake.
I've been helping Mum in the garden recently and I really like worms.  We have lots of them in the garden and the are wiggly and great.  Don't be mistaken, I'm not eating one in the picture below, that's just a sweetie Daddy gave me.
I'm still a little snotty, but I'm better than I was. On Friday night I went to the last ice hockey game of the season with Mummy and Daddy.  There was a great big fight and three of the players had to sit in the penalty box right below where I was sitting.  It was great.  Daddy and Mummy also got me some Pom Poms from the Early Learning Centre.  They were purple and silver and the Clan play in purple - how good is that!

Since then, it's been a working week with both Mummy and Daddy at work.  I've spent some time playing at Gran's house, but yesterday we played at home.  I had a sleepy day yesterday - I must be growing again.

I'm One year old! I love my Birthday!

Wow!  I've had a great week!  It's been my birthday all week long I think.  Last weekend Grandpa and Gran came up to visit and we had a big party for me with Gran and Papa and Auntie Rita and Uncle Ian.  There was cake and everything.  Then we had another party for me on Saturday with Auntie Cat and Uncle David and my big boy cousins. 
I got some lovely presents off people - everyone has been so very kind.  Uncle David and Auntie Cat got me clothes including a Peppa Pig outfit - it's not like fancy dress - it's like a T-shirt with Peppa Pig on it.  I had more clothes from Auntie Tor and Uncle Chris (well I am a girl and a girl can never have enough clothes!)  and Tasha and Bebe got me a cuddly fairy whose feet tinkle and whose wings crackle!

Gran and Grandpa got me a big pink house and some little people.  I think Noah was pleased that I got this and I've had to battle him all week to play with it!  As the week has gone on though, I've had more of it to myself.  The house even make sounds with the doorbell and the phone and the washing machine and the toilet all making noises!

Gran and Papa got me two doggy teddys, but I don't have a picture of them.  It's strange because I have been cuddling them all week, especially when I was a bit poorly and was more 'snotty' than Lottie!  The doggys are so soft and have a scarf and jumper on and I love to snugly my face into them!

Auntie Rita and Uncle Ian got me some bath toys and a phone with wheels on - it's a mobile phone!  I also had some plates and cups and a walking doggy and some new swimming costumes and lots, lots more.  Thank you everyone!  I had a super birthday week!

I touched a Starfish and a Crab!

What a cool week I've had.  On Monday, Mummy was at work which meant that Daddy had 'Full Parental Responsibilities'!   After playing with me at home in the morning whilst Noah was at school Daddy then planned that me, Noah and him would go on a big adventure.  Daddy took us to the Sealife Centre at Loch Lomond.  There were lots of fishies there and I also saw otters.  We then looked at a big tank that had sharks and a turtle and lots of other strange fishies.  I saw a turtle eating it's dinner and it was a green turtle because it mostly eats green things, like cabbage.  The turtle was eight years old but could well live to be over one hundred!  I also got to touch a starfish, but they have to stay in water because they will drown if not, or something like that.  I also touched a crab - which can breath in and out of water.  I can only breath out of water as breathing in water makes me cough.   

As Mummy couldn't come on our adventure we got her a Nemo Fish Mug to make her happy.  I then went home, slept, ate - lots including two yogurts, played and the slept more. 

This week I've learnt something new.  I've learnt to blow on my food when it is too hot.  I can't do it without making a 'blurrsrrsrsssp' noise which then makes me laugh.  Mummy taught me how to do it, but she doesn't make that noise, well not from her mouth anyway. 

I'm still tumbling and not walking.  I've only got a week to crack it or I'm 'behind' Noah on the development scale. I'm not sure about this scale though as I've seen him do some really silly things! 





The Ups and Downs of life!

I've finally gone and given myself a bump under my eye.  It has been long over due as I've been falling on my face most of the week.  This walking thing is far harder than it looks and I'm desperate to be walking before my birthday. I'm great at standing and not bad at dancing, but I just can't manage this walking thing yet.  I'm absolutely brilliant at climbing and I managed to get myself on the sofa - much to the amazement of my Mummy and Daddy who didn't even see me do it - I'm a ninja-baby, silent moving - beware - keep the baby wipes locked away, or I'll pull them all out of the packet!

Daddy was in a great mood after coming home from work today.  I think it's because he was so happy that our Derby County won today - surprising, as they've not been doing good and they were playing Swansea who were number 2 in the league!  He was so happy that he took us all out for dinner to Pizza Hut - which was lots of fun.  I had pasta salad, carrot sticks, garlic bread, chicken dippers, potato wedges and chicken pizza! 

Happy Birthday Mummy!

Hammy Birthday Mummy!  Today is my Mummy's birthday.  She has had lots of them now, so I'm going to watch closely what happens because it's my first one in a few weeks time.  I'm hoping there will be balloons as I like balloons.  I also hope there will be cake - I like cake.  I also hope there will be ice-cream.  I had an ice-cream from the lolly van the other night and shared it with my Daddy.  It's best to put a little bit on your finger for him, beacuse he has a huge tongue that eats just too much if you let him lick it!  Anyway, Happy Birthday Mummy.  Love you! (And bring on the party food!)

A Socialising Weekend

After spending some time arranging my weekend using Daddy's phone everything was in place.  On Saturday I went to Funky Monkey's, McDonalds and then Gran and Papa's with Auntie Rita and Noah.  Mummy was asleep in bed as she had been working all night and Daddy was busy.  Then I went home for tea and then Mummy dropped me back off to spend the evening with Gran.  We went to listen to a band at the Salvation Army in Rutherglen whilst Daddy and Noah were at the ice hockey.

Noah is a good big brother to me - most of the time.  He did bite mt toe this morning, but on  the whole he does look after me good.  He shouts at me not to climb the stairs and yells too for Mummy or Daddy to get me quick.  He even drags me out of the kitchen sometimes or lies on me so I can't crawl so that I don't get hurt.  He always shares his food and sweeties with me - I think that he is great and I'm so glad that he's my brother.  He's been full of lovely cuddles recently - it's making me suspicious!

Ramette or Lamby?

The Derby County mascot is called Rammy - so is a little Derby County fan called a Ramette or a lamby?  Anyway, it doesn't really matter, all I know is Grandpa was really happy to see what Mummy had dressed me in the other day - a Derby County tracksuit.  The only problem was, when we were out for the day everyone kept thinking I was a boy!  Mummy and Daddy couldn't even be bothered to correct people in the end! Do people not recognise a highly trained athelete when they see one?  I'm great at the front crawl and in football I'm a great dribbler.  Derby County are not doing too well at the moment - perhaps I might even get a game if Mr Clough sees this and lets a girl play.  Daddy has high hopes that one of his children will be a successful sportsperson.  (I think he did hope it would be Noah, but thinks that he may be more into the arts - like dance - than sport, although Noah did say he wanted to be a goalie at the ice hockey!)  Daddy says he doesn't mind if I play for Scotland - but he also says, "Let's be honest, if she's good enough she'll play for England - if not, she'll play for Scotland!"  He only does it to wind people up.  I've even been in practice for the after sport bath!  Lesson one - do not eat the bubbles!  Lesson two - watch out for the T-rex.  Lesson three - the brown fish are not fish!
