Off to Birmingham and Warwickshire

Last weekend (22nd may) Mummy and Daddy went away for one night and left me with my Nana and Granddad.  Daddy took his D300 camera with small 35mm and 90mm lenses.

On the way up to Birmingham they stopped at a very old house called Baddesley Clinton near Warwick.

On sunday evening Mummy and Daddy went to the "Rush" concert at the LG Arena at the Birmingham NEC.  I was very loud, very spectacular and very good.  Daddy took some video and snapshots on his Ipod using the Hipstamatic photo application to simulate old film..

After breakfast

These photos show me yesterday after having my breakfast.  I love sitting in my high chair, which Mummy got from the car boot sale.  Daddy used his Sigma 85mm portrait lens at wide apertures and exposed for the ambient light before popping in some bounce flash from the side.

Today I went to Lisa, my childminder, and she is sure I have teeth coming through.  I do get pains in my mouth and am a bit prone to being grumpy at the moment, so I think she is right.

Mid May 2011

Its been a while since I was on here as Daddy has been rather busy and tired, but he has taken some photos.

We had a lovely day at Exbury Gardens last week with Auntie Sal and Nana and Granddad.  I've never seen so many plants.  I did get a bit grumpy when it went way past my lunch time, but after a pitstop I was happy again.

There were some fish as big as me in the lake that Granddad seemed to like very much

This was the first time I had really smelt and touched plants and I was fascinated.  I even tried tasting them but Mummy and Daddy said that was a step too far!

Daddy got up very early today but when I woke up Mummy said I was extra cute and called him upstairs to take some photos as I played and crawled on the bed.  Apparently I'm a monkey.  The health visitor came round to check me today and said I was doing very well......I am normal weight and height and very responsive.

I still love my smiley snail and he tastes good too!

Mummy and Daddy are very pleased with the garden this year, especially the giant Icelandic poppies and they take me for walks outside to see the flowers and pond.
