Six months with my baby brother

My baby brother has been around for six months now. He is probably the best brother ever. I love giving him cuddles and sharing my toys with him. Here are two photo albums with pictures of what we have been up to for the past few months.

New blog!

My mummy has been writing a new blog at http://twolittlebabies.tumblr.com/

She started it because my little baby brother Matthew was born in August and, like me, he arrived early and spent his first few weeks in the hospital. Mummy wanted to record how things were going and how we were all feeling, so that we would be able to look back at our memories and so that other people could see how Matthew was growing.

Mummy says she isn't sure what will happen to this blog but after Matthew is a bit bigger and we have moved to our new house in Bristol I will ask her if she has time to help me post about what we've been up to.

A bientot!

My first muffins

Hello everyone! (Or, as I would put it, 'aylow'!)

Today, mummy and I made muffins together. I enjoyed tipping the ingredients into the bowl, smearing the batter round the room, and dropping it into the paper cases. I also enjoyed eating them once they were cooked!

Muffins: the aftermath

Batter everywhere

Delicious!

Happy girl

Water, water, everywhere

Sophie has been enjoying the sunny weather by playing in her paddling pool. I'm sure she'd stay in there all day if she could!

I love gardening!

At the weekend I was allowed to play with mud and plants in the garden. And then a doggy came round to play. It was basically the best weekend ever.

Sophie's 10 first words

Sophie has an amazing vocabulary. Unfortunately, most of it doesn't make sense to us... but she's getting the hang of it. She uses the following on a fairly regular basis:

'More' (definitely her most-used word, especially in relation to red berries)
'No'
'Fower' (flower)
'Moon'
'Papa'
'Nana' (both for bananas and Nana)
'L'eau-l'eau' (water)
'Do-do' (sleep)
'Yes' (when asked, 'Would you like a fruit?')
'Shoes'

She can also make a range of animal noises - raa, baa, moo, aa-aa, guk-guk (quack-quack).

And she still keeps up her first phrase - 'uh-oh'!

Beach fun

Hello, I'm back!

We had a day out at the beach on Saturday. It was only my second time at the beach and I loved it!

Here are some photos of the fun we had.
