RRRRRAAAAAGH!!!!!!!! I'm a Lion!

Going.......................Going...............Gone!

Stairs, fully conquoured on the first attempt. Ascent and descent from summit completed within 7 mins. No sherpas or oxygen required. Locals appear to have now deployed stairgates to prevent repeat performances. Dealing with these obsticals has so far defeated my efforts, however I consider these to be no match for an inquisitive mind and chunky thighs!

Oh yeah, and mum has been teaching me pat'a'cake. These are the results so far!

I'm settling well into my new nursery class since moving up from Caterpillars to Butterflies. We now do paintings, chase each other around the room and make a mess of our hair in the sand pit. I'm always bushed when mum or dad come a pick me up at th end of a day.

Swimming is also going well. I can hold my breath for 4/5 seconds under water!

Just as a tease I stood up by myself for a couple of seconds the other day. You should have seen the reaction on mum and dads face, you would have thought I'd passed my A levels or something!

I was having a giggle fit with mum the other dad, and dad managed to catch it on camera:

Oh, and in the style of Gordon Ramsey

"Spagetti, in. Suck. Sorted".

Birthdays are great! Everybody should have one!

Lots of cards in the post this morning as well as a special trip to the Aquarium yesterday, and cake to boot! It was in the shape of Barney complete with big tounge and eyelashes (Thank you Vince, Roz and Tom!). The Aquarium was pretty cool as well, the fish were slimey when you touched them though!

Mum and Dad are very proud of the fact that I've been pulling myself up and standing at things. For now its the push along Lion and trolly that I got for Christmas, the sofa. chairs, table and Barney (if he sits still long enough). I don't fancy walking all on my own just yet (I don't want to get them too excited!).
