Because I can get around the room (and even out of the room) very quickly now, Mummy and Daddy are struggling to keep me in one place. I don't think much of this latest idea though - keeping me in a plastic box! It's a good job that I brought a photo of Daddy in with me - I can take out my frustration on that!
Mummy let me choose what I wanted to wear today, so I just had to pick my Tigger costume! I know I look a bit silly but it's worth it if it embarrasses Daddy!
I'm getting the idea of walking now. I can't actually DO it yet without holding someones hand, but I get better every day. Sometimes I can stand up on my own for a few seconds without holding on to ANYTHING!
Today we went to Grandad Mick's house and had fun playing with the toys he keeps there. Somebody kept phoning me on my toy phone, but whenever I picked it up there was nobody there! Nevermind, Daddy has got one his old mobile phones out for me to play with so maybe I'll get some calls on that (unless Daddy has been sneaky and taken the battery out).
Grandad bought some things called "stair gates" which I thought was a sci-fi program on the television, but apparently they are to put in the house. Now I feel a bit like those monkeys we saw at the zoo!
Daddy got the mail this morning and found that I have won £50 with the premium bonds that Grandad bought me!
I've only had them a few months so that is pretty good going. Daddy has had a premium bond all his life and hasn't won anything! Daddy is going to put the money into my bank account for me.
In the past week I have been to visit Great Aunt Sarah and my lovely second cousins, which was fun. I was very well behaved, even when the girls were partying. I ate lots of home-cooked food which was yummy! Today Nanny, Grandad and Auntie Gem came to visit and bought me a chocolate bar for being a good boy.
The best thing I did this week was shock Mummy and Daddy by being able to pull myself up to standing position without any help. Mummy was surprised when she suddenly saw my head pop over the top rail of my cot! I am also crawling properly now, when I can be bothered.
Today I once again amazed Mummy and Daddy! I was sitting nicely in my walker as usual. Daddy came into the room, then Mummy went to the kitchen. Daddy saw that I was in no apparent danger and left to go to the kitchen for approximately 10 seconds.
When Mummy turned around, she saw me crawling though the doorway on my way to join them in the kitchen!!! I had escaped from my walker in a matter of seconds, without any apparent harm to myself.
Mummy started to tell Daddy off for getting me out and leaving me but suddenly she realised that he hadn't.
I'm not going to reveal how I did it as a good magician never reveals his secrets, but watch this space for any further amazing feats!
The picture is an authentic poster of Harry Houndini's that Daddy has "tweaked" for me.
Today was a horribly rainy day and we didn't do much. I went to get weighed again (don't forget to look at my graphs on the menu - "My Statistics").
Mummy gave my hair a bit of a trim because she thought I was starting to look like a girl. Daddy thought I looked fine - just like him when he was little - and that long hair looked cool. I had to remind him that he was born in the 70's and looking like a hippy isn't really in fashion anymore!
