Bumbo

Ok, I know I opened it early but this is my favourite Christmas present so far (ok ok, it's my first Christmas present of my first Christmas, but you get the point!). It's called a Bumbo seat - and it means I can sit up on my own - and sit anywhere...

like joining Mum and Dad for dinner...

Or helping Mum with the washing... oooooh... spinny thing...

Food and Drink

Ok this is exciting - I just found out there is MORE to eat than just milk! I had my first solid (ish) food the other day. It's nothing exciting - but I get the feeling there might be more fabulous things to come.


There's a bit of a knack to eating off a spoon, and I have to confess there's a fair amount landing on the bib at the moment, but I'll get the hang of it soon.

Also, Dad showed me something called "beer". He seems to like the stuff, but I couldn't work out how to get it out - there's no teat on the bottle and no matter how hard I sucked nothing came. I will have to watch Daddy carefully next time...

Swimming

Thought I should share these photos to prove that I went in the biggest bath in the world while I was on holiday. Mum and Dad bought me this funny inflatable ring to bob around in, but I had a go at freestyle swimming too. I had a good time. Not sure about the going underwater part though.
