Well everyone's got one

Mummy and Daddy have one so why shouldn't I?

So what is it? My own MP3 player which I just love dancing to

In training for housework

Seems now I can walk and have an interest in keeping the house tidy I'm now in training to keep the house clean.

This was taken about 2 weeks ago and it seems Mummy has got Daddy involved also as here WE are doing all the work

My Seat

As Mummy and Daddy seem to be sorting through my old things (can't work out fully why yet!!) I came across something I used to LOVE in the bath.

Now it is my new seat

which I love getting in and out of

and also laying down for a wee rest.

although it is a struggle to get out of it sometimes.

Birthdays

On Sunday it was both my cousin Oscar and Auntie Claire's birthday. As Oscar is a little further away (in Mexico City) we went to see Auntie Claire.

Here I am begging for some cake from Auntie Claire,

then from Daddy

but when that didn't work thankfully Granny Frances came to the rescue and read me a book instead.Hope you had more cake than I did Oscar.

Walking

So now I am fully walking I like to walk EVERYWHERE. Thankfully I got a backpack from Nonnie and Papi for my birthday so I can pack some snacks and off I go.

Warning another shot with a cheesy grin!!

Snow in Brighton

Last week we had lovely snow (for all of 2 days).

So it was on with the warm PJs.

Quick to build a snowman

and then look lost amongst the whiteness

all in all a very busy day

Trying out the trike

Seems my Mummy used to use this trike when she was a little girl. Although I can't quite reach the pedals on it, it was great fun being pushed around indoors.

(Warning this shot has a VERY cheesy grin!!)

Late photos

Although I am older than 1 now Mummy and Daddy took me off to have my 1st Birthday photos taken.

We had quite a few to look through but here are some of our favourites.

Playtime with Eoin

Mummy's cousin Evanne came over with her son Eoin (pronounced Owen) for some playtime this week so that makes him my cousin once removed.

Although he came over to play I'm not so sure I liked him playing with MY things!!...

Oh OK....I should say Tabitha's things in the above case.

New adventures

Being in Nonnie and Papi's house there are these wonderful creatures called Teddy (the dog), Puddywood (one of the cats) and Trio (the other cat which only has 3 legs).

They look so soft and cuddly all I want to do is have a hug...

but they never seem to want to come over.

Trip to Northern Ireland

I'm currently over seeing my Nonnie and Papi in Northern Ireland so we came over by plane.

I had my first McDonalds at Gatwick Airport (fish fingers) which I enjoyed...

but as I ate so much of it they just wanted to check I was still able to get on the flight so I had a check...phew just fitted in.

Colouring

We have been receiving a few drawings from Emily when she was at nursery so we thought it was time to start her creative flow whilst at home.We bought her some crayons and paper and left her to it. Here is the end result.

Splash time

Whilst Daddy was having a bath I decided to have some fun with him in the water.

Result - a lot of laughing and a rather wet Emily.

Shoe sorting

Some babies like to sort through the kitchen cupboards for the Tupperware but Emily has found great delight at going through her Mummy's shoe collection. This can keep her entertained for minutes at a time, pulling them all out, putting them back in (in no order) and then pulling them out again.

Mummy actually needed a tidy up of her shoes anyway so thanks to Emily she got that all sorted!!

Job done.

Drinking from a glass

Recently I've been enjoying a drink from MY special glass (bought in IKEA many a year ago for tea lights but Emily doesn't know that yet!!).

Here she is having her first go at drinking from a glass and she did very well enjoying every minute being like her Mummy and Daddy.

Bird Watching

Well it has been a while since we have posted anything but unfortunately the Janaway house has been hit with illness since Christmas starting with Mummy, moving to Daddy and then finally me. Thankfully we are all much better now and we have also had some photos taken also to show you what we have been up to.

This one shows my favourite past time..bird watching. I also enjoy it at nursery so they tell my Mummy!!

My first shoes

One of my birthday treats finally arrived...going to Clarks shoe shop to get my first pair of shoes.

The whole experience was great. I get to put my feet into this thing that told them what shoe size I was. (4 1/2 F)

Got to try them out in the store....

and then got my 'offical' photo taken by Clarks themselves.

Christmas Day

Father Christmas finally arrived and here I am meeting him.
He didn't have his beard on correctly to begin with....

but it was great to meet him seeing as he should have been over seeing my cousins in Mexico City at that time!!

I got to open lots of presents but the only one photographed was this........the jack in the box. Thanks again for everyone who bought me presents. Some have been hidden away for another day so I'll look forward to that.

Here I look very unsurprised but to this day he scares me when he pops up so I was just courageous that day.

Again...again...

Marmite? Love it or hate it?

Daddy loves Marmite while Mummy hates it so a test was designed to see who I take after with tastes.

At first I wasn't too sure.

but in the end I liked it....so a mixture of both....

Happy Birthday me

So the cake was made. I had a great nights sleep but when I woke up both Daddy and I weren't on form. Poor Daddy didn't get out of bed he was so ill and Mummy and I played as much as I would allow.

So we didn't get to do any of the things planned for my birthday. Shame as I believe there was a good day planned out for me....but that has all been put on hold for another day. Seems I won't miss out so watch this space.

So here I am with Larry...

and reading some books to pass the time in the morning

Opening presents in the evening when Daddy came down from bed. Thanks everyone for my lovely presents.
but the cake was amazing....an inferno but tasted lovely. Thanks Mummy and Daddy.
