reading my new books

Granjay & Grandpa bought me some fun French touchy feely books as an extra little Christmas present. Here are some snaps of me enjoying them... (oh actually one of Papa's English books is there too!)

I think I'll start with this one

My 1st Christmas

Pre-Christmas celebrations

Poppy and Samuel came to play with me this evening while our parents had a pre-christmas get together. I got to show them how I can walk around the whole house holding Maman's hands. I think they were impressed :-) Samuel now weighs more than me even though I'm double his age!!!! 

I love this toy :-)

determination is key!

How to wave in 3 easy steps!

spot your target

give them a gummy smile

and wave!!!

delighted with myself!

My new hobbies are...

and walking :-)

I'm having sooooo much fun!!!

Maman & I like to colour-coordinate!

My very own Tripp Trapp

Granjay, Grandpa, Grandma & Grandad all kindly gifted me my very own tripp trapp highchair for Christmas and I'm delighted with it. If any of you are reading this, Thank you soooo much for your wonderful gift I really appreciate it. Thank you also to Tata Emilie and Tonton Simon for my cool activity playmat. Maman chose to put the giraffes as the first design and I totally agree with her decision.

I know it's a week before Christmas so officially I've opened my present too soon however I think you'd agree that it was the right thing to do because I've started pushing myself out of the bumbo seat by arching myself backwards which is a bit tricky for Maman or Papa to deal with if they're trying to feed me.

Dear Noah, Oakley, Pia, Abigail & Poppy I've finally joined the Tripp Trapp club :-) Also Noah & Oakley, I hope I'll look as cool as you guys do on yours when I'm 9 and 8!

Nemo scares me :-(

ssshhhhhh don't tell anyone BUT...

I got to try out my Christmas present from Maman & Papa.
Maman wanted to check that all the bits were in the box and then once she'd made it I gave her one of my cheeky grins and she was putty in my hands hihi!!!

In the first video I'm reminding her that I'm a good girl - Guga guga rrrrooo rrrrrooo guga
In the 2nd video Maman caught me realising that I can't yet suck my fingers while standing as I need my two hands!!!!

Maman said no :-(

I asked Maman if she could buy me this trike as my Christmas present but she said no :-( 
I really thought I'd managed to persuade her to get it for me but then she went and got advice from Grandpa & Granjay and that was it I lost my case!
Turns out I might get one for my 1st birthday that would go up to 36 months instead of just 24 months however I have to be a good girl otherwise I've no hope!

Walking in the snow

For the 3rd time this week Maman & I pulled the curtains open this morning to find it all lovely and white outside. We quickly ate our wheetabix mixed with papaya and then got dressed and went out for a walk. It started snowing again as we walked away from the house, however by the time we were walking home it had stopped snowing and the sun had come out to play...
