250 years of Guiness

Hi,

Well, we are just back from Ireland ! We had a great time. I have now been on the Tube - it was pretty cool, I just closed my eyes and slept on Friday and then had a good look around this afternoon on our way back! Dad was very happy in the airport on Friday looking at all the planes! Aunty Vic and cousin Ted picked us up from the airport and by the time we got to their house, Nain and Taid were only a few minutes behind us. I spent most of the weekend playing with Ted's stuff - he has got a jungle gym playmat which he let me play with. I also got lots of hugs and kisses from everyone - it was great.

Dad, Uncle O and Taidi were busy yesterday doing some paving or something - they made alot of noise and got very dirty whatever they were doing! We girls and Ted stayed inside in their lovely house and just got dressed up in some nice dresses (well I did - can't say mum and aunty vicky made much of an effort!!). I also had a bath with cuz Ted which was cool - mum took some video of it - think that might come back to haunt me in years to come!!!

We got preferential boarding on the airplane which I liked - mum says that if you travel business class you can do that too- I think I will like to travel business class when I am older, then I can get on the plane first then too!

We are home now and I am just having a good stretch on my mat - travelling is great, but as I cant run around you get a bit squashed!
Oh - another first - Dad carried me in the sling - it is normally mum!


Here are some pics - one of me and mum on the plane on the way there, one of me with Ted and one of me with Taidi!

Bye for now - I have to have another bath !!

Love Gwen

P.S. STOP PRESS.....I have just rolled over on my own!

Have Passport, will travel

We are getting ready to go! - I have my passport and am ready to start my global trotting!!!!!!!

Can't wait to get on that plane - also, mum tells me I will be going on something called "The Tube" to get to the airport....

Packing today, but also going around to my friend Imogen's house to meet up with the rest of the NCT gang!

Ireland here we come!!!!!

More Needles

Hi,

Well that BCG was all a fuss about nothing - I barely noticed the lady and her needle. Mum said that I am braver than Daddy cos he is too scared to go and get one too!

Mum and I have just been to the cinema, I didn't see much of the film but the bus journey there was good - I could see lots of people cos mum had me in the sling. We are all going to Ireland to see cuz Ted on Friday on something called an aeroplane. I am not sure what that is, but dad's eyes light up whenever he see one and sometimes in the middle of the night when we are having "daddy and daughter time" he talks about them - 757s and stuff !

No picture for this blog - I will make up for it next time. When I see Aunty Vic I am going to ask for some tips on posing in pics so expect the next set to be professional!

Tongues and stuff

Hiya,

I had quite a shock yesterday - mum took me to the hospital where I was born and dad met us there. Then, a man weighed me (4.5 kg) and we waited to see another man. I was pretty hungry by this stage and mum was just about to feed me and we had to go into the 2nd man's office. There was talk of breast-feeding, speech and eating ice-creams (sounds nice) - but all I was interested in was my lunch. Anyway, the man held my head still which I didnt like and then put something in my mouth and I heard a snip - I was screaming alot by this stage - I was hungry and didnt want my head held still by a stranger. The next thing I know - finally! - I get my lunch!! Me and mum walked home through the park and I couldnt stop playing with my tongue, it felt very different and I can make more shapes with it stick it out now - amazing.....
Mum took this picture of me when we got home - I think she was trying to get one when my tongue was all the way out - but I wasnt in the mood for posing to be honest.
Anyway - that was yesterday - I have heard something about a BCG injection today, don't know what it is, but I hope there will be no head holding!

byeeeee

A friend to play

Hi!

Today I had a friend around to play - her name is Ellie and she is the daughter of my mummy's oldest friend. They live in Greenwich, but came over to our house to see us. We had a play there, then we went to Le pain (after I showed her the sloaney pony and other sights) for lunch. She is 6 and a half months so she can almost crawl and she can roll an make alot of noise - but I have more hair! Her mm and my mum have known each other since they were 3, but we can beat that!

Ciau for now,

Gwen

P.S. Going for the tongue tie snip thing on Monday, hope this means I get more food faster - yum scrum !

Mummy's revenge

Mum says I have been a naughty girl, not sleeping at night and screaming too loud! I know I am not that naughty really cos she still gives me lots of hugs - but she has insisted on posting a picture of me in full flow - how embarrasing!

I had a great weekend - dad looked after me whilst mum had an hour on her own - I think she went out with a book and had a glass of wine. Me and dad went for a walk and watched some rugby down in the park!

Friday Night at the White Horse

It was a hard day yesterday....mummy and I went shopping at High Street Kensington for the first time. We got the bus which I loved and just fell asleep! Mum fed me in the cafe at M&S (and bought me some vests) - there was a man there who was Italian but looked alot like Great Uncle Rhys Bellis - it was freaky! (of course, I have never met him but mum told me..). Aunty Sam and Uncle Geoff had given me from money to spend at Baby Gap so I went to spend it! The money was the winnings from a quiz that they, Sam's family, granbob and nan won. Mum and I chose some black leggings, black and white top and a green top with a russian doll - I think I might be a goth when I grow up! Mum got some tops from Gap too. We had lunch in Cafe Rouge which was nice although mum struggled to eat her caeser salad as I was more interested in my lunch! We caught the bus back and then walked home from Fulham Broadway. I was a bit fed up by the time we got home as I was tired, but I had a good feed and sleep once we were there. Then dad came home and we got ready to go out - my first trip to the Sloaney Pony. I think I looked pretty smart - I attach a picture. Mum and I only stayed and hour but dad stayed with Jo (his French ex-flatmate) and Mark for a couple more and then they all came home for a takeaway curry. I like having people here it is alot of fun.

We have all had a sleep-in this morning, but I have had a great kickabout on my playmat this morning and then I think I will watch the ODI cricket with my dad today.

Laters....

Gwennie (P.S. My passport arrived this week!!!!!! - 2 trips to Ireland to see cousin Ted already planned)

Welcome to my world !

Welcome to my world everyone ! When I get time away from feeding and playing on my jungle mat I'll let you know what's happening with me. Many more posts to come!
Love
