I'm back! Yes I know I have been AWAY for such a LOOONNNG time and I mean really away, Ive been on my first holiday to New Zealand and Ive been travelling through Korea and then Hanoi to visit cousin Oliver. And now finally my mummy and daddy have decided to end all this travelling for a while so we have ended up in Riga, Latvia which is to be my second ever home.
So far so good I say. I can't post any pics up for a while as our camera 'disappeared' from our bag while we were out and about in Hanoi but I will get some soon. Just so you don't forget what I look like I have a smattering of very blonde hair covering my perfectly formed head, i have very blue eyes ( which match the lovely blue skies here in Latvia) and I have a nice tummy and nice legs, there that should keep you in the picture!

I know there are some pics up of our holiday to NZ, but I will scoot through my highlights so that they make sense:
  • Meeting Grandma and Poppa for the first time. We had a lot of fun together and they got to see me eat my first EVER solids, we went to the beach for the very first time together, and they got to share my first ever cold too!
  • Grandma and Poppa got me a pool of my own with its own roof! I didnt really enjoy my first swim in it and decided that I had to let ALL the neighbours know about it! I did enjoy sailing Uncle Darrin's boat in it though.
  • I met so many people in NZ, they all gave me lots of cuddles and far too many smoochy cuddles for my liking, yuuckk. But it seemed to keep them all very happy. I especially enjoyed meeting Alicia, whom I had my first EVER paddling pool swim with and cousin Sophie. They were very pretty.
  • I developed a love of vino while I was in NZ. I enjoyed 'sharing' a bottle with Great Uncle Keith, he has a lovely head like mine so we had lots in common.
  • We flew down to meet Godmummy Anna in Wellington. She was lovely and spoilt me with lots of cuddles and pressies. I want to go back to see her sometime soon.

We decided that we didn't want to say goodbye to Grandma and Poppa so we took them back to Korea on the plane with us! They came to see my home and we had lots of fun showing them all the funny food and the people of Korea. We all had a lovely time though Grandma was a bit naughty sometimes and mummy kept having to tell her off as she kept slipping me different food to try. I liked that a lot and Grandma and I had lots of giggles behind mummy's back. Grandma and Poppa took me off for many walks around Seoul and they were most impressed with just how much attention I get wherever I go, everyone wants to take pictures of me, well I say you must keep the fans happy.

Then came the sad goodbyes and Grandma and Poppa went off to visit cousin Oliver in Hanoi. We had to say goodbye also, to our home and to all our friends so that was very sad and Mummy and Daddy had a little cry each.

Then it was off to Hanoi to visit cousin Oliver and we had a wonderful time. We risked life and limb on the streets and that was just crossing the road! Mummy and Daddy took me on a rickshaw ride, crazy cats, we went on a lovely sailing boat though I didn't really want to sleep much on that trip. We took lots of wonderful photos, of the beautiful buildings, of the busy BUSY roads and mopeds everywhere, and of cousin Oliver and I being cute ( Mummy's and Aunty Lotta's words - not mine!) and then we lost them all!!!!! Mummy and Daddy were very upset at the horrid person who took our camera but hopefully Uncle Darrin will send us some soon so never fear.

And then it was off to our second home in Riga, Latvia. We had to do A LOT of travelling to get here but I was a very good boy and slept most of the way. We have been here one week already and we know that we are going to like it a lot. It is still a bit chilly but its very blue and sunny and mummy and I go walking in the parks to see the ducks every day. I have already been to my first baby groups and we sang lots of songs. I think it is going to be a lot of fun. Please come and visit me soon!
