New house - dad hits the barbie

Hi Everyone,

Well, we are in our new house and it is very nice (although mum seems to have used alot of that really smelly cleaning stuff that Aunty Ruth always complains about - Naini and Aunty vic's house smell of it too)! We have got an outside now and dad has got a barbie - he has told me all about it and apparently whenever there is any sun at all, or even just no rain you have to cook your tea on it. We had some sausages and steak cooked on it the other night and it was yummy.

I have got a new room, with my own bookcase and a new poster that mum put on the wall - I like it, it is quite cosy and I love pulling my books off my bookcase so that mum or dad can read them.

Mum gave me a pink doll thing the other day - she has had it for ages and just wouldnt give it me (someone else gave it to me) - well, finally she relented and I think it is great - although I like throwing her outside and then looking at her through the glass too!

Taidi was here whilst we were moving but Naini wasnt - I think that she was with Ted and Aunty Vic and Uncle O in the states - I dont know where that is, but I heard Taidi say that Naini couldnt phone him - maybe they dont have telephones there - wonder if they have blogs?

I am looking forward to all the visitors that I am going to get this month. Nan and Granbob are coming and I think we will get lots of visitors to our new house - Naini hasnt even been yet!

pack your troubles in your old kit bag!

You wouldnt believe the organising that I have had to do to get mum and dad sorted so that we can move house! I have had to pack the boxes for them, do inspections of the boxes, search under the cot, check dad had packed all his cables and then I had to escort them to Tendido Cuatro with Taidi to make sure that they fed me - it has been alot of hard work - love gwennie
p.s. - then I had to call on Nan's compatriots to move us all out!

More parties and Irish summers

Hi everyone,

Sorry this is late - it is my mum's fault - she claims to have been busy, but who knows with what!

When we got back from Naini and Taidis and celebrating my birthday, we had another party with all my old friends from near where we live - it was really good see them all again and although it was a bit bright that day, we had lots of cake and lots of fun! Some of them could walk much better than me, but I can still look after myself and get my fair share of cake (see pic) and I definitely had the nicest dress!


The next week we went to Ireland to see the Conrys - we played with Ted all day - Aunty Vic and Uncle Owen werent there much, but Aunty Vic looked really pretty when she went out. Dad had the most fun playing with Ted on his slide! Can't wait until I can go on it!

Happy Birthday to me!

HIya Everyone!

I am no longer a baby - I am a big girl - I am one!!!

Me and mum and dad are in Wales in Naini and Taidi's house on holiday. I went to sleep last Friday night as normal and then the next thing I knew, Naini and taidi and Aunty Vic were looking into my car seat and frightening me! - I went to sleep and then the next day saw cousin Ted and Uncle Owen too. Then lots and lots and lots of people arrived - lots of them had curly hair like me and mum and dad, and lots of them tried to cuddle me, but I wasnt fooled my that - they just want to kidnap me cos I am cute ;)

Mum left me with dad to go and run around the field with lots of other people and then me and dad played with a play tunnel thing that suddenly appeared !

A couple of days later (after the Conrys had left) I woke up and mum and dad put me in the middle of a big pile of boxes and started singing to me! I realised that it was my birthday - I have been to a few parties now so I knew what to do. I put on my new party dress and smiled alot and opened all my brilliant presents. I got lots and lots of lovely things, a soft koala, a big duck, lots of v cool clothes, books, jigsaws, more ducks!!!

Then me and mum and dad went in the car to Llandudno and we went on the pier and I went into an arcade and mum let me go on a ride - it was amazing (see pic) - then me and mum went on another ride and I had my sandwiches on the prom. Then dad wanted to go for fish and chips, but I went too and had some too - yum scrum.

When we got back to Llandyrnog Aunty Angharad was there and she had baked me a cake - look how clever she is! - it is a duck...and then I ate some and it was bewwwwwtiful!

The davies clan arrived later and I had lots of fun with them and we had more cake and more trifle and profitero rolls that Daddy had made AND AND AND I had a yummy scrummy lasagne that Naini made - all that eating was REALLY hard work....

What a wonderful week,

love gwennie

New friend, new shoes

hi everyone!
mummy has found me a new friend - she went to the hospital with aunty ruth and uncle kevin and came back with a new friend for me called Evie! - she is only little, but very cute. I think that when she is older we will have great fun!

Then today - mum took me to a shop after nursery and a strange lady put something heavy on my feet - it felt weird. Mum said that it was to stop me getting my feet dirty - but i like getting dirty!
They are really cool though - look!

Walk this way!!!

Hi,

Hot news (not so hot, cos mum didnt write quick enough) is that I am walking solo - well I can take a few steps!!!!

These are some real cool photos of me in my socceroos outfit and also, getting ready to go to Naini and Taidi in my suitcase!

Love Gwennie!

Polo and parties

This is old news, but I forgot to tell you all.

I have been to my first polo match and my first football party!

The polo match was alot of fun - mum and dad and auntie ruth and kevin were laughing at alot of people and what they were wearing which is probably a bit cruel considering it was so hot I ended up in my vest ! There were lots of horses there and it was very close to our house and mum said it was free - but dad bought alot of pies to make up for it....

The football party was at my friend Clem's house - I wore the new outfit that Naini bought me - I think it is really cool. My friend Clem was wearing a funny outfit (it was red and white with lions on)- but I am too polite to say anything! We had to leave early cos Naini and Taidi we coming to pick me up to take me away -see next blog!!!

Hope you enjoy the pics

Love Gwennie

If I took a holid-da-y ..

Hello everyone,

Sorry I havent updated you for ages - I have been on my holidays! I went to stay with Naini and Taidi for nearly a week! It was really good as there was lots of new things to play with and explore. Molly came down to play with me which was fun and I go ALOT of cuddles from Naini and Taidi. The only problem was that I had MORE teeth coming and so Naini had to keep giving me even more cuddles and some medicine. Mum and Dad weren't there for ages and ages, I did wonder when they were going to turn up. Aunty Vic and Cousin Ted turned up first and then the house got very noisy - cousin Ted is great and I like following him around and trying to play with him and his toys. He didn't seem to want to let me play with his things very often, but I think I will be able to persuade him next time cos then I will be able to run after him - he he ! Cousin Ted hit his head outside on the first day and everyone blamed taidi - it was nothing to do with me, honest. Naini fed me lots of nice food and Taidi carried me around alot, mum and dad dont do that - i think I will make them in future.

Mum finally turned up and brought me a present and lots more cuddles (yippee)! we all went somewhere the next day with Aunty Vic and Cousin ted where there was alot of blowy noise and bright lights and then Ted had to sit in a chair and eat chocolate whilst a lady played with his hair and then he got more chocolate - i didnt get any!

Dad arrived later on, I heard him so I woke up and pretended to cry so he would come and see me and then Uncle owen was there too. I never knew who was going to turn up next - we also saw - Aunty Dwyn, Craig, Aunty Jane, Aunty Angharad, Aunty Yvonne, Uncle Wyn, Uncle Rhys, Aunty Jacky, Nia, Uncle John - loads of people - where do they all come from - I can't be related to them all can I?

Me and mum and dad are home now and I have been back to nursery which is great fun - we have been doing lots of water play because it was hot and tonight we went to the park afterwards to play in the sun. Mum said that soon we wont go to the park cos we will have our own green place - I wonder if there will be a pub for mum and dad to buy drinks from next to it though?

Emergency update: Eye m moving!

Hi everyone,

Just to let you all know that I went to the hospital yesterday and after the surgeon man had made me go to sleep and looked at my eyes he said that the pressure was really low (12) and that my optic nerve whatever (that is) is not damaged. Mum started crying and then was smiling alot - so I think it is good news!

Here is a picture of me and mum in the hospital - I was a really good girl and they gave me a bravery certificate! When we got home mum and dad were drinking something fizzy because apparently they have sold my flat! - I think that includes my bedroom, but mum says that she is going to buy me another one and that our new house has got a garden for me to play in - it sounds exciting - having lots of new places to explore and climb on.

I think Naini is nearly here so I am just going for a short nap to get ready!

lots of love gwennie xxxxx

In the Summertime

HI everyone,

Looks like the weather followed us from Spain - it is finally sunny!

Me and mum and dad spent lots of time outside in the park this weekend - I like tasting the grass - but dad always makes funny noises when I do that! Dad took me for a big bath again this week - it is strange cos there are lots of people there - but otherwise it is just like bathtime but bigger...I have been having lots of fun in nursery recently - we have been playing with water and with sand and now that I can crawl and climb everywhere I can get really dirty - mum says I am the dirtiest one in the whole class - but that is just because the others are a bit boring and I like to make sure that I never stop moving. It is quite tiring, but I eat lots of food so I get energy from that. Mum and dad feed me lots of nice things - I have pasta and salmon yesterday and then mum made me cauliflower cheese and then I had some yoghurt - sometimes, I eat a whole sweet potato wtih cheese!

Me and mum and dad went to their friend Hillary's house for a meal last week and then Jo and Mark came around to visit this weekend - I could hear them talking and laughing for quite a long time. Mum's friend RUth came to see me too. I just keep impressing all the people with my climbing and walking tricks -it is good fun!

I have seen Taidi recently, but only on the computer screen - it is weird cos I can hear him and see him but no cuddles! I also saw Autny Vicky and cousin Ted the same one - that was great cos cousin Ted sang to me - I like singing. I have heard mum and dad say that Naini is coming to see me this weekend - that should be lots of fun. Mum and dad also said that we have to go back to the hospital to check my eyes on Friday - not sure that that will be as much fun though. I think that my eyes are alot better now - I hope the doctor agrees. Last time they gave me a bravery certificate - wonder if I will get another one?

It is so hot at the moment that mum is letting me sleep with only my vest - it is nice. I hope you all like my pictures - oh, I forgot to say that mum cut my hair - just the fringe, but now no more ponytails - I will have to work extra hard to grow it back!


lots and lots of LOve,

Gwennie

A Viva Espana

Hello everyone!

We are just back from sunny sunny Spain!! We went to see my mum's friends who live there - I went on an airplane which was great fun. I wasnt feeling 100% well as I think I finally have a few more teeth coming, and I didnt sleep very well when we first got there, but then I got better and I was able to play with the girls that live there. I had lots of fun playing with all the new things that they had and to get some cuddles. We werent there very long - just long enough for mum and dad to drink lots of orange juice and coffee.

Mum and dad didnt go to work yesterday for some reason, so we went for a walk (in the rain weirdly) and then after mum had bought herself some shoes we went out for lunch. It wasnt spanish but it was foreign - mum shared her food with me and it was yummy - but the best bit was when dad gave me some cold white stuff - it made my teeth feel alot better and it tasted gorgeous - I have to find out what it was.

I have been to nursery today, but my teeth are still hurting a bit, I hope that they arrive soon..

The only other big news is that I can now pull myself up on things and then move around - mum and dad spend alot of time looking v nervous when I do it though!

he he

love gwennie
