What a busy few weeks it has been. I am sorry that I have not been updating my blog as much because Mummy and Daddy decided to take me away for a couple of weeks. Some of the trip was a big surprise so to you Aunty Poppy and the Hampson posse 'We hope you have recovered!' Daddy had to have lots of meetings, in Paris, London and a very interesting place called Riga, which for you geography nuts is in Latvia! So to sum up my last two weeks here are the highlights:

  • Aunty Kylie and Uncle Tom visiting us in Seoul! This was every exciting and I was extra smiley for them. They even dressed me and changed in preparation for when they have their baby in June. I was very good for them and lulled Uncle Tom into a false sense of competency, just they wait!
  • Staying awake for the whole flight to Paris and then back again to Seoul! I had too many people to entertain and chat with to sleep!
  • I have also discovered my hands in a big way. I have two main positions. The first one Mummy says I can look a bit like Jonny Wilkinson lining up to take a kick. I hold my hands together and really concentrate and lean forward. The second is I count my fingers. I touch each finger every gently with my other hand. Other than that I just grab and suck my toys, they are surpriseingly tasty!
  • Collecting a pool of drool in my chin for later!
  • Surprising Aunty Poppy by arriving on her doorstep unexpectedly. She thought I had been abandoned, I thought I had too, the doorstep is not as comfortable as my stroller,thanks Mummy and Daddy!
  • Our surprise visit to see William in Brighton. His mummy was too sharp and she knew something was up but we managed to pull the wool over William's eyes. He didn't know a thing!
  • Meeting Goddaddy Will. Of course we met in the pub but it was during the day so please don't call social services! He was lots of fun and we shared a pint of.....
  • Finding my voice on the Eurostar to London. I chatted the whole way without taking a break.
  • Playing in the snow in Latvia, Lots of snow as far as the eye could see and very cold.
  • Exploring Riga. This could be my next new home. I know.... don't ask, I have learnt very quickly that Mummy and Daddy think they know what they are doing and when the time comes we can all roll our eyes at them and say 'I told you so!'
  • Standing up. This is my new discovery. I have decided that I don't want to roll or move on the floor yet but standing up is more fun, with a little bit of help.
  • Staying with Aunty Kylie and Uncle Tom. I got extra cuddles and smooches.
  • Having lots of baths. I love baths so much. I float on my back and smack my hands and feet in the water, often covering Daddy and the floor outside the bath. I gurgle and laugh at myself and basically show off my expertise in the water. I also love pushing off from the side and standing up in the water. Baths are the best time of the day.

Also FYI I am not bald. I have very light coloured hair that is only noticeable close up! I may not be rivalling cousin Hal but mine is there.

Godmummy Penny is visiting today. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep last night. Mummy, Daddy and I hung out from 1230am till 8am when I finally went to sleep. They were blaming something called 'jet lag' but I was just so excited. It is quite fun being up in the middle of the night, I may even try it tonight though it does make Mummy and Daddy look rather rough, they really should keep themselves together!
