Getting ready to watch my team

At my photo shoot

At my baby group, just hanging

Ready to catch the bus

Look how strong I am

Bedtime. I love my jammies

With my new passport

With my new friend Malcolm

The most exciting news came this week. I have a cousin! My new cousin is called Oliver and he was born where one half of me is from - New Zealand. I can't wait to meet him and teach him all I know about the world. To be honest there isn't much to know at the moment, all you need is Mummy - I think that is a Beatles song? I think you do need Daddy as well - sometimes Mummy can't handle my nappies and Daddy seems to be much braver.

Mummy lost my shoe this week. It fell off somewhere between home and our meeting with the shrieking women and when we got there we realised it was missing. Mummy wasn't surprised as she knows that I only like to wear one sock or shoe like Daddy. We couldn't find it anywhere but when Mummy went running yesterday she found it on the side of the road. Mummy was very happy but now I'll have to find another ingenuous way to get rid of one shoe...

It has been a very busy week all round. I went to my first play groups and hung out with many of my new friends. I think it is just an excuse for Mummy to drink tea and talk about spots and poo, and sleep and poo and feeding and poo. Anyway there was a lot of laughing going on and sometimes I felt a bit picked on.

I'm getting quite strong now and sometimes I really want to stand up on Mummy. I can stand straight and bounce on Mummy, all the while keeping my neck and head held strong. Everyone claps so I must be doing something right.

We are off to Shanghai this weekend, my first country! Mummy and Daddy are playing in a touch tournament so I have to go along for support. The team needs me and I must remember my chants that they taught me. I hope Mummy remembers that I need her more than the team and I also hope she doesn't forget to feed me. I will let you know xx
