I've been up to a lot since I last updated my blog, but I'm still not crawling. I know, I'm keeping you all waiting, but I am nearly there - and I am trying really hard! Mummy and daddy say I'm very trying anyway.....Last week I was on holiday with mummy, daddy, Harriet and Granny Judy in Centerparcs. It was great fun. We went swimming every day, and Harriet got to go down some massive water slides. I'm hoping I'll get to do that next year, but I had fun splashing about in any case. Harriet and I had more water fun at a water activity which granny and daddy took us to. We got to splash about and get really messy and wet - as you can see we got to wear snazzy green overalls, but they didn't keep us very dry! Harriet and I have been keeping up with our swimming lessons as well. On Saturday Harriet had her first solo lesson in the water without mummy or daddy with her. We all watched her, and she did brilliantly. Doesn't she look fab in her pink goggles. I have moved up a class too, and last weke in my lesson I swam under water through a hoop to mummy - I feel very proud of myself. Well, it's the end of an era soon, Mummy starts back to work next week, so I'll be going to nursery every day with Harriet. I'm going to nursery tomorrow and Friday to get me used to it, before I start full time next Tuesday. So we had our last Tuesday with Granny and Grandpa Meikle yesterday. We went up to their house and played in the garden, which was lovely. It will be very strange not being with mummy all day, every day, but I'm sure I'll be fine. I love nursery, and I'm looking forward to making lots of new friends. I hope I feel a bit better than I have done over the last couple of days. My teeth have been driving me nuts. I've got 2 new ones just coming through and my ears have been hurting a bit too. I saw the doctor today and she said my ears were quite blocked, but not infected, so I'm sure I'll be okay. I haven't lost my appetite in anycase, and yummy blackberries were the order of the day earlier in the week, as you can see from my blackberry beard!

Thursday 6th May 2010

It's General Election day, and only another 17 and a bit years until I can vote as well, so that writes off the next 4 elections then! But I don' t mind. I've had another fab day in nursery today. I'm really getting the hang of it, and I love all the staff and my new friends. I even have a friend called Nara, whose birthday is on the same day as mine. Talking of birthdays, it's Harriet's birthday soon, and she's having a Peppa Pig party with her friend Isobel. I'm so excited, I can't wait to go, and then it will be my birthday soon after that.I think I'm going to be able to crawl by the time I'm 1. I'm trying really hard at the moment, and I don't like sitting still for a second, as I need to practise as much as I can. Needless to say, I'm falling on my face a lot, which means mummy and daddy are having to rescue me quite often. I think they will be happy when I'm finally crawling, as I'm getting really frustrated at the moment. My swimming lessons are going well. Harriet and I have had another 2 lessons since I last updated my blog, and Harriet is even going to start having lessons without mummy or daddy in the pool soon. Wow - I think I'm a way off that yet, but I am really good at swimming under the water - it doesn't phase me at all - so I'm excited about our holiday at Centerparcs in Nottingham in a couple of weeks time. I'll be able to go swimming every day - Yippee! Then it will be off to nursery full time for Harriet and me, as mummy will be going back to work at the start of June. Harriet and I will get to go to nursery together every day, so we thought we should wear the same t-shirt, so everyone will know we are sisters! Don't we look fab?
