ThI've ThBurnt MyTh LipTh!

I've burnt my lip on a Gregg's Sausage roll!  Curse you Gregg's for making a sausage roll that appeared cold on the outside but was burny on the inside.  My lip has blistered slightly, but it hasn't really stopped me from eating.  Whilst we are on news of my mouth, I have a new tooth! 
We have been crazy busy as a family and I'm not sure why.  Mummy has been working and Daddy has been working so we have played at Gran and Papa's a bit.  We have also been going to the park lots as the weather has been nice.  Today we went to a huge park called Rouken Glen - it was fab and we had a picnic and spent hours there.  It's been a nice, not-so-busy day today.  Last night we went swimming and I love the water!  I went down the slides with Daddy and Noah nearly drowned when he stepped into deep water by himself but he was OK after Daddy pulled him out after a couple of seconds and he didn't even cry or anything.

I'm Walking! I'm Walking! - Oh, and Happy Birthday Daddy!

Look at me!  Look what I learnt to do this weekend!  I've been practising my walking for a little while now, but I think I can finally say that I am walking - even if it is only a little.  My mostest steps are 15, but I only need about six to get around the house!

Today was baking hot again so Mummy and Daddy took me and Noah to the 'Sand Park'.  It's a good place to learn to walk as the landing is soft.  It was nice to wear summer clothes too - although I have a big head so some of my hats are a little small. 

Yesterday we went on a family trip because it was my Daddy's Birthday on Friday.  We went on a steam train which was good because we had a train-picnic on the train.  I had a sandwich and a gingerbread man and some juice and then I knocked Daddy's tea all over his lap.  Daddy is good in those kind of situations and he didn't get angry because it was an accident.  He did threaten to throw me in the lake though when we got off the train, but I know he was only joking.

After our train ride we got on a big boat. I had a boat-picnic as we sat outside in the sunshine.  It was also fun looking over the rail at the water and I played peak-a-boo with a little girl.  Once we got off a boat we had found a nice park and a third picnic!  I also played football with Mummy and Noah and had a lovely time.  It's always the same at any celebration - you eat far more than you really should - Happy Birthday my Daddy!

Guess the Landmark!

Can you guess the landmark I'm pretending to be?  Here's a couple of clues.  She's French, but not in France.  She lives in a city whose nickname is fruity.  She stand on her own island.  Can you guess yet, before my ice-cream melts?  I'm the Statue of Liberty!  By the way, how big does my ice-cream look in that photo?
The last few days have been a bit busy - but nothing too exciting.  Yesterday was Mummy's Day - and Noah and me got her a Toberone, which we had after sharing Mummy's breakfast whilst we were still in bed, and we got her some lovely perfume.  My Mummy is a good one - so I hope she had a lovely day.
We spent most of last week shopping for Mummy's Day, but today was a 'Day with Daddy'.  The weather was wet and windy and the kids are not at school, so we didn't do much today.  Daddy did take us to Nandos for lunch and then I had an ice-cream after my tea!  A 'Day with Daddy' is usually full of treats, often messy and usually end with a bath before Mummy comes home!

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!
