I got to be a baby model for the day.  I had so much fun!

My parents would love to share a photo with you.  Just send an email to my mommy, letting her know which photos you'd like (the letter of the alphabet above the photo) and which size (3x5, 4x6, 5x7, 8x10) and the photos will arrive at your home!

Naptime for dad and me

It's tiring work that my dad and I do.

We sure love our naptimes!

Talking pterodactyl with my dad

My dad is fluent in pterodactyl.  We speak pterodactyl to each other.  And my mom and I use English.  This way I'll be fluent in two languages.

A hoody with ears

When my mommy and I were in a shop, I saw a bubblegum pink Hello Kitty fleece hoody. I instantly knew it was just the hoody for me. I reached my arms out to it. My mom let me hold it and I snuggled it! So we bought it!

I love wearing it - especially with the hood up so you can see the kitty ears!

PS  Below is another photo my mommy loves of me from this week. ;)

My first hen do

Today I went to my first hen do. (That's a bachelorette party in the US.) I was the youngest hen there- they called me the little chick!

I had lots of fun meeting people.








After lunch we learned how to make beautiful rings.










Tonight the ladies are going dancing. But it's past my 8pm bedtime, so I said, 'Sorry, no can do! I'll be in my pj's then, ready to go to sleepy!'

Location:Covent Garden

Toured an art museum with my friend Vinci

Today I went to an art museum for my first time.  I went with my friend Vinci!

First we got on the train into London.

Here's Vinci checking out

the other people on the train

(we're definitely the coolest)

Here's Vinci looking over

at me, conferring on our plans

Then we had lunch under a tree next to the River Thames.  Vinci had carrots and potatoes for lunch.  I had just milk (at the end of July I get to try big people food too).

During lunch my mommy

pointed out St Paul's Cathedral to me.

As we were finishing lunch

Vinci turned to me and said,

"Are you excited or what to go into the museum?"

Then we grabbed hands

and skipped into the museum.

(Just kidding, our mommies carried us in.)

Finally we went and toured the museum - Tate Modern.  I saw a lot of interesting pieces.

Thank goodness my daddy

has already started teaching

me how to read Russian.

There's so much to absorb with Cubism.

Mom had some camera difficulties.

She's making some abstract

photos herself!

Then we went to the cafe!

And saw some nice views on the way back to the train station.  (See the English summer weather?)

But by then, I was fast asleep with Freddie the Firefly!
(Meanwhile, Vinci has gotten very good at staying awake as long as possible in his stroller.  He said he'd give me tips.)

PS  Here's a photo of Vinci, his mommy Fe and me.  This is what we looked like when we were younger babies (more than two months ago!).

I sing opera

I started doing a new style of talking.  What you do is use a high pitched voice all the time, kind of like a conversation between a cute dolphin and a pterodactyl.  I pretty much talk like this all the time right now.  My parents starting talking back to me like this too.  I think it's so fun.

Let me show you a quick "how to" in the video below.  (This is me last night just before bath and bedtime - my mom let me do one last operatic performance for the evening complete with arm gestures and a full vocal range.)

Gardening Assistant

My parents have been planting things in the garden.

While they garden, I sit in my seat with Squeak the Bear and watch intently.

"Oh, so that's the technique when planting lavender.
I'll have to remember that."

"This sure is tiring work."

Important lessons

I learned some important lessons yesterday and today.

Lesson 1 - The Paper Lesson
If you get to hold a piece of paper, you don't suck on it.

My mommy was looking through some papers.  I wanted to hold a piece of paper so badly so she let me hold one.  At first I held it very carefully, proud of my piece of paper.  And then I very quietly sucked a hole in the paper about the size of a 50p piece.  My mommy looked for where the paper from the hole had gone.  I had eaten it, delicious!

Lesson 2 - The Catapult Lesson
Always make sure the play mat you're on is far enough away from the wall.  Because when you push off hard with your feet and arch in just the right way, you fly!  Right into the wall!  With your head!

I have such interesting adventures.  Hmm, what should I go try to do now. . .

"oh dear, where did my arm go?"
