Time together as a family

Here are some photos of us together over the past few weeks.

Meeting the family....well some of them anyway

Lucky for me I got to meet some of the rest of the family quite quickly in person
Granny, Auntie Claire and Uncle Simon
Here we are....the boys on Daddy's side of the family.
A Tom between two Simons..

I got to see my cousins and Uncles and Aunts via Skype...and of course Papi

and have first cuddles with Nonnie...

Looking forward to meeting everyone else in person soon

The first few weeks

Well the first few weeks have gone by and we have survived.

Emily is certainly her brothers biggest fan. She loves to hold him, kiss him and generally have her head close to his. Not sure if this was due to the Mars bar Tom arrived home with or the pram but either way they are getting on really well.

Introducing TJ.....just 9 days late

Thomas Kevin Randall Janaway. Born 5th July 00:10 at 8lbs 15 oz.

Pictures just 9 hrs old

The days before TJ

Mummy was a little worried one night that baby was on the way so when I woke up there was Granny to see me.

We had some fun though while we all waited.

We went to the park....

and baked a banana cake

Thanks Granny.

Heatwave = Icelollies and hats

Thankfully ice lollies are around when you have heat in the high Twenties......

and Mummy's new sun hat (note the bags in the background ready for when baby decides to arrive)

Claimed

My new chair. Great for watching 'In the Night Garden' on...but no-one else is allowed when I am around.

The Agnews

From one side of the family to another, the next day I got to meet up with the Agnews.

The Agnews from Northern Ireland (Nonnie and Papi)

and the Agnews from PEI (Uncle Richard, Auntie Jenn and cousin Sam)

We had a great time together but a shame it was all too fleeting.

Sam showed me a few new tricks and places I had forgotton about

and I demonstrated my new dance moves

Here we are squeezing in a few photos before they left.

Hope to see you all again soon.

Father's Day

My last Father's Day just with me and although Daddy had to study for most of it we still got time together.

I got him a t-shirt and chocolate amongst other things..

played and shared toys

and then Uncle Simon, Auntie Claire and Sammy popped in to see us. That was a real treat especially as I can now say Sammy. Infact it was the only word I would say the whole time they were here.

Exercising

well for Daddy anyway..

Looking sweet......she's up to something

and she was....

So what has been happening??

Well Nonnie came over to see me. I actually think she was here to help get Mummy a little more organised but we had such lovely weather that we spent most of our time outdoors.

I even got to play with some water...albeit cold I still enjoyed it.
and a wee bit of peekaboo

Slides

We were lucky enough to go to Hove Park and enjoy the slides.

This was the first time I've been on the slides and although I couldn't do it on my own it was still great fun. In the end I did want to go down head first but I wasn't allowed to try that. Can't wait to go back soon!!

A VERY protective Daddy looking on

Jamie's Italian

Over the weekend we went to Jamie Oliver's new place for lunch.

They have these cool things you look into to see the children's menu.

Then we went down the Palace Pier and enjoyed people watching.

Time with Granny

Granny came over for lunch a week ago and we had a great time.

I showed them all how to play Wii (Emily is too light to be measured properly)

I showed her where Daddy's bum bum was

Enjoying the Brighton with Carol

Mummy's friend Carol came over for a wee weekend visit. Although I was left behind one day they took me into Brighton for a wee wander the next day.

Here are some of the photos Mummy took

and the ones Carol took. Lovely having you with us Carol. See you again soon

Rainy Days

Thankfully we didn't have many rainy days. Although one evening we went out for dinner and it was raining then.

I was lucky enough to get a piece of shortbread off the chef. I think I won him over with my smile.
