New Year, New Clothes (and toys, and books and lots more he he!)

Hi Everyone,

Well we are back in London and it is VERY VERY cold - all the white stuff that I mentioned in my last blog is here, it must have followed me?!

We were in Naini and Taidis for ages and I had a great time. This Christmas thing seems to involve getting lots of new things - it is great! Everyone bought me lots and lots of gorgeous things, they are very kind (although mum didnt seem to get me much...) I can't remember everything I got (mums got a list - typical!) but as well as all the toys, new books, sheepskin and things, mum took away all my clothes and changed them with bigger ones - weird, but I like my new wardrobe.

I spent two days trying REALLY REALLY hard to turn over onto my front - it was SOOOOO frustrating - but mum and dad and taidi were egging me on and the day after Christmas day (the day I got lots of presents) I managed it, now I can barely stop !!!!! I am trying to move now that I am on my front, but it is very hard, I can lift my head up really high and my bum up really high but that doesnt seem to quite work...

Mum spent more time putting stuff in my eyes (I think she is obsessed!), and some other doctors looked in my eyes, but I am fine now - I could have told them that if they had listened! I am more concerned about my teeth - still no sign, but they really hurt :(

I saw lots of my cousins in Wales too - I dont know them all, but I smiled at them all so I hope they like me. I dont think they are cousins like cousin Ted, but I havent worked out why yet...

Oh, one more thing - do you like this picture of me in my xmas present from mum and dad? (they finally got me one) - it is a chair so I can sit at the table to read my books - I really like it!!

I also asked mum to put some other pics up - unfortunately, some of my hair has fallen out at the side, but it is still long at the top and the back - it is a bit embarrassing really - hope it grows back soon

Intruder Alert, Intruder Alert

Hello peeps - this is Ted Conry!

I have hacked into my cousin Gwen's computer and thought I tell you what I have been up to you and post some pics of ME!!

I arrived a week ago agt my Naini's house - Gwen was already here with aunty Sarah - I dont bother calling her aunty Sarah - just Sarah. In fact, sometimes I call my daddy Ow (!) - and my taidi Bryn - he he he

We have had lots of fun this last week - I have been teaching her tricks when noone is looking! I have had lots of presents off Santi and the family. I got a trailer from Naini and Taidi, a toolbox from Sarah and Doug, a book from Gwen, jigsaws, garden toolbelt, lego, an airport set (I have had to keep Doug away from it!) and loads of clothes and other toys - I love it!

Another REALLY great thing is that Naini has been making LOADS of pies!!!!!! - mince pies, christmas pudding pies, profiterole pie, trifle pie, brownie pies, apple pie LOADS!!! Me and Dougie both LOVE pies - they are our favourite food! I could eat them at every meal, all day, every day!!!!

Enough chat - here are some pictures of me!!!!!!!!! - gotta go, Gwen is waking up and she might catch me - he he he!

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow....

Hello Everyone!

Sorry I haven't updated my blog for the past week. We have been busy having fun with Naini and Taidi.

I am feeling much better, although mum has been putting some stuff in my eyes lots of times every day - I don't want her too, but she is bigger than me! My eyes are better now though and I am having more fun. I am really close to rolling over from my back to my front with no help...I am determined to do it though. Yesterday mum gave me a shove onto my front and then I was able to practise crawling as long as I had something to push off of! - watch out for me!!

I have got my own highchair here - it is great cos I can sit and watch everyone eat and I feel part of the crowd. Cousin Ted has been great sharing things with me, including hugs and kisses!

I woke up this morning and it was white!!!- I asked Taidi to take a picture of their house covered in snow it is great! Mummy took a picture of Taidi pretending to throw some of the white stuff - wonder if I will be allowed to go out and roll in it later? I sneaked a peek out of the window last night when everyone thought I was asleep and I saw mum, dad, aunty vic and uncle O outside in the snow - dad had an umbrella!!

Mum seems very excited today and keeps talking about someone called Father Christmas - although she also talks about someone else called Santi to Cousing Ted - not sure who they are, but mum is very excited!

Will update you when I next get chance - mum says maybe tomorrow !!!!! - wonder what I will have to say after only one more day....

Nadolig Llawen,

Party Central

Hello Everyone!

Just a quick update from me before I head off to Wales with Mummy for Christmas! Not sure what this Christmas thing is but there is tinsel, lights, men in red with beards and more lights!!!!!!!! Mum and Dad had a party yesterday, but I had to go to bed early so I missed most of it - from what I could hear from my room it was alot of fun (for some people!)

Also, as you can see from the pics, Taidi turned up in the middle of the week - he didnt stay long but it was good to catch up with him!! - Naini didnt come - not sure why...

Me and mummy went to see my friend Ellie and her friend Leah on Monday - we had to drive across London to Greenwich, but it was great fun.

One last thing - I went to the clinic today and got weighed - I am now over 6kg or
13 and a half pounds....but if anyone says anything about my muffin top- watch out I know KARATE!!!! - see pic below.





Lots and lots of love,

Gwennie

Jingle Bells

Hi Everyone!

All of a sudden things seem to have got a lot sparklier and there are flashing lights everywhere. Mummy and Daddy say that it is something called Christmas, but I am not sure what that is. So far it seems to involve tinsel which I loved playing with (see pic) and some flashing lights in the the flat. Also, we all went to our local park on Saturday and stood around whilst some men dressed in red with beards sang some songs. I recognised some of the songs cos mum and dad sing them to me in the bath - but there seemed to be more words in the ones we heard and the tune sounded a bit different....nicer than mum or dad's version really - but dont tell them that!!!! Dad took a picture of me and mum with two of the men in red, it is a bit blurry - but you get the idea!

I have heard talk of a party next weekend so I will keep you posted about that - I dont know if it is to do with this "Christmas" thing or not... I went to my friend's house today - but I will tell you all about that in another blog later in the week.

Hope all your lives have suddenly got tinsel in them!!!

Lots of Love,

Gwennie xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Where's Mum???

Hiya Everyone!

Yesterday I had a very strange day, Mum disappeared for the whole day, while Dad didn't leave !! What was happening?? Dad was saying something about a kit day and mum going back to work ??? Not sure what that is but it meant that instead of seeing Mum all day I got to see Dad. What a day we had! I was feeling a bit grumpy when I woke up, but after a few cuddles from Dad I managed to have a "lie-in"... what ever that is. After I woke up I had a quick feed and we went for a walk. When Dad pushes me its smooth and slow, sorry Dad I think I like Mum's wild ride better! Although I couldn't remember all of the walk as I had a bit of nap. Once we got home Dad and I were having a kick about on my play mat, then we had some time on my tummy... not sure why both Mum and Dad keep on insisting on putting me on my tummy. Dad was also singing me strange australian songs then. Not sure what a coolibah tree is but aparently you can boil a billy under it while singing about waltzing?? Dad gave me lots of cuddles throughout the rest of the afternoon. By 5.30 both Dad and i were waiting by the window when we saw Mum walking out in the street. She was pleased to see us both... I was very tired tho, I had too much fun throughout the day. I'm using a different scribe today but will be back to my normal one next time. Laters G x x x p.s. I've posted a picture of Dad and me with Kimmy the Kangaroo x

Taidi retires !

Hi,

As you all know, we went to Wales last week to see Naini and Taidi. Uncle O, Aunty Vic and cousin Ted turned up too! It was very cold there and I had to wear the fur-lined snowsuit which UNcle Rhys, Aunty Jacky and Nia bought me when I was little. Mum took me for a walk up a hill which I really enjoyed cos we saw sheep and dogs and a big tractor - but mum was puffing and huffing alot so I am not sure if she enjoyed it much!!!!! - life's easy in a pram - he he

Cousin Ted was really kind to me again, playing with me and giving me hugs. Naini was helping mum to look after me, but one day they tried to come between me and my food and I gave Naini what for! - I sucked her chin - he he he - and you could tell afterwards that I had done it cos there was a mark there, so I felt quite bad - but that will teach them to try and come between me and my food..

One night, I woke up and mum wasnt there - Aunty Yvonne and Molly were there and they gave me lots of cuddles and I went back to sleep. Apparently, mum and dad and the others had gone to Taidi's retirement party. I think they had a good time as they were talking about it the next day and I heard mum and dad creep into our room really late. They had to get up to give me my 4am feed though (see previous comment)....

Also whilst we were there we went to see my mummy's friends Sarah and Haydn and there little girl Hannah - she was kind to me too! Mum abd I had fun driving our new car to Wales - mum has put a mirror in front of my seat so I can look and laugh at myself on the journey!!!

Guess what else happened in Wales? Aunty Vicky was teething!!!!! - she got 2 big teeth at the back - I wonder if it hurts as much as mine do?

We skyped Nan and granbob too as it was Nan's birthday (Happy Birthday Nan!) - granbob was wearing shorts - surely it is too cold for shorts in the winter?

We went for a long walk with the Davies Clan too which ended in the pub - it was great!

We are at home now, but just as I was enjoying being home Mummy took me to the doctors and they stabbed me THREE times!!!!! I am not feeling too good today, I think it is because of the stabs - still, I can lie around all day and demand cuddles whenever I like so its not all bad!

love Gwennie xxx
