My life in pictures

Right, hopefully this will get us up to date! It's certainly taken Mummy enough time to do!

I was 10 months old yesterday, how time has flown! I am now 10.66kgs, 75.5cms length and 48.8cm head circumference (yes, I still have a massive head!) and am in size 0, quickly heading towards size 1. I am now crawling, well, you may call it dragging, but I get around pretty quickly these days. I pull myself up on everything and have started letting go of things and standing on my own. I have two bottom teeth, which Mummy will have to try and get a picture of (plenty of video but no photos). I clap hands, wave and copy everything people do, which includes clicking my tongue, making noises with my lips and pulling funny faces. Grandad Rastall says that people will think that I am afflicted because I grunt at people and pull funny faces with my eyes and face to get people to do it back to me! I have got such a little personality now, I am really cheeky and really know how to 'work' people.

I have been so busy in the last few months. As most people will already know, I was in the car when Mummy and Daddy had an accident in the car, which is one of the reasons we haven't updated for a while. Everyone is ok and the car has now been fixed, but it really scared me! In the last few weeks Mummy has gone back to work for a few days a week and I have been going with her. I have had such a lovely time in a different environment, I play with my toys, sleep, eat, sit up at the window and wave at people - it's been great fun! I LOVE seeing other babies too, Mummy thinks I'm a bit of a nutter sometimes the way I carry on when I see other babies. I even get excited if I see them in pictures on nappy boxes and in catalogues!

I eat everything in sight. I love yoghurt, any meat (especially fish), any fruits or vegetables and one of my favourite lunches is a tin of Scottish sardines in tomato sauce mixed with half an avocado - yes, I am a strange boy. I still love my swimming and am walking 5-7 steps on my own in the pool. I am such a good little boy and am sleeping from 6.30pm to between 9.30-10.30am the next day (I only wake up around 6.30am talking to myself but don't get Mummy or Daddy up). Mummy thinks I have narcolepsy as I sleep so much - I want to go back to bed around 11.30am and again around 3.30-4pm for at least an hour. I had croup over the weekend but I am on the mend now. I am generally a very happy, healthy little boy and this has been my first real sickness.

Mummy says that we have to leave it here for now - she started doing this around 9.30pm last night and it is now 2.30am! Daddy is working nightshift and she thought she'd try and get this done while she has time to spend on it without interruption. We hope that you are all well and hope that you enjoy looking at my pictures.

Hi Connor,

Great to see your Blog updated! You have been a busy boy and I love all your photos.

My favourite is the one with chocolate cake all over your face - haha - what were they doing to you! It's yummy eating cake though isn't it.. I think it's better than sardines & avocado together buddy!

Hope to see some more updates regularly - love catching up with what you are up to.

Joshua & his Mummy xx
