Mr Bump...

A couple of weeks ago I had a day of clumsiness. Daddy renamed me Mr Bump... here's why. I'm getting very good at rolling over, I can do it in the blink of an eye now... it's just a matter of time before that blink of an eye means that I'm over the other side of the room you know!

The 1st incident was when Mummy changed my nappy and then went into the bathroom... I rolled over and then did it again and whacked my head on the box shelf unit thingy next to my changing mat... I had a nice 'line' on my head and a bit of a bruise...

The 2nd incident occurred when Mummy put me on their bed to have an afternoon snooze. She knew to put a double layer of pillows either side and one at the top as I squiggle and squirm around line no body's business... But she didn't put one at the bottom though did she... ESCAPE ROUTE! Which is just what I did... wriggled my way down to the bottom of the bed... THUD! Mummy and Daddy rushed upstairs to see me and I was on all 4's at the bottom of the bed. A bit shocked so I cried, but was soon fine and bouncing around! No concussion, no bruise, just fine - but it could have been awful really there were all sorts of obstacles to navigate on the way down!

I've got a groovy new high chair; the other one's at Grandma Pat's for when I go to stay... Mummy's going to get me a travel cot for Grandma Pat too... She has also put Grandma Pat on her car insurance as when Mummy is at work Grandma looks after me on Thursday's and Fridays...

I've got a great new cot... I might have mentioned it before, compared to me it's massive, loads of room to move around! I can even pull myself up to standing at the bars. Look at me in my first pair of proper pyjamas, Thomas the Tank Engine specials, they make me feel very grown up... I can even blow kisses now too!

Mummy went back to work at the end of May... she quite enjoys it, although I have heard her say to Daddy that she misses me! She feels that she's missing out on my learning new things, but then it's lovely to see me at the end of the day when I get excited and remember who she is! I really do like my child minder. I see Charlotte and her little girl Lara on a Monday and Wednesday. Daddy looks after me on a Tuesday and as I've said, Grandma Pat looks after me on a Thursday and Friday.

I'm only on this routine until Mummy finishes work to have my brother or sister, at least until she 'breaks up' from work to have holiday and maternity leave... at the end of July. I'll still go to Charlotte's on a Monday and hopefully Grandma Pat will look after me on a Thursday OR Friday...

I've done all sorts of nice things since going to Charlotte's. I've learned how to scream (Lara taught me how), I've been socialising and to art classes - I made Daddy and Mummy a little present, which made them go all soppy as it was the first one I've ever made them - what a pair! I've been to feed the ducks and I've been to soft play which is when there's lots of soft things that we play with!

It was Harriet's birthday on the 9th June... we went to her birthday barbie on the 7th and I had a great time, although I didn't really see Harriet... she was very busy socialising with her family and pals and had masses and masses of presents that she opened, her Daddy got very good at making a long list of who bought what! Here's a piccie of me and Gene together and one of our Daddies, hmmm, the Mummies said - they're as thick as thieves (not me and Gene - the Daddies!).

Daddy has been working hard at our other house. We're hoping to move in in August... which is realistic I hear Mummy say... Daddy says hmmm, but he'll get knocked out if he's hmmming too much, says Mummy! He's put in partition walls, he's insulated places and has put in windows and has done other things... We've had the electrics and plumbing done and the plastering is now been done... Mummy's looking forward to ordering her kitchen soon... anyone for dinner?!

It's Fathers' Day on Sunday... I wonder what I'll do for my Daddy... he'll have to wait and see! I might have to enroll the help of Mummy for a while to help me sort something out - but it's a secret... what's a secret? I didn't mention anything, did I?!
