Just had my first Halloween trick or treating session...well, I went to Nanny's and to Grandma's wearing my 'little devil' costume. They thought I looked very good! (Mummy kept taking my picture too). Daddy had the day off work and we went to the local shopping centre and lots and lots of people smiled at me! We had noodles for lunch which was lots of fun.

In the week Mummy and I went to Hemsby for three days with Grandma, Great GRandma, and Auntie Karen - but NO DADDY! I slept for lots of the journey, and we managed to get into Hamsby sea-front, to see the lights (and dogs, lots and lots of dogs) and we also went to the beach, where they stopped me from eating sand and stones. It was lovely having all my lovely female relations with me to look after me and play with me, and we were very lucky with the weather too - I even wore a sexy sleeveless vest on the way home - but I didn't sleep very well and I did miss my Daddy...and my toys.

In the last few days my walking has come on leaps and bounds (well, I'm not *THAT* advanced yet). A couple of months ago I managed my first steps, but I'm such a careful little boy that I refused to do any more until I could do it properly, without falling over, or running fullout till I crash land. I'm very good at it now - I can walk a bit, stop, crouch down, stand up again, and carry on walking! I can even kick a ball while I do it too! It helped seeing Auntie Keira on Sunday and Nathaniel on Monday as they both walk and run about.

Today Grandma is coming over this evening and I might just show her how much I've improved since Sunday!

looking back...

It's been a month since the last post and what a busy month I've had! My birthday party, closely followed by my birthday. My second holiday, this time with Nanny, Auntie Cath, Jospeh, Nathaniel, and Ollie-dog (as well as Mummy & Daddy). Walking practice, Grandma's barbecue...all kinds of exciting things. 

My birthday party was excellent fun, and soo many people came. I got lots of nice gifts and we ate lots of nice food - I like cheese, and cherry tomatoes, and chicken goujons most of all. Birthday cake! Yummy! My actual birthday was nice too, less people but still Nanny, Grandma and Auntie Cath and Nathaniel, Daddy came home a bit earlier too.

Birthday list, Isaac - first birthday!

MY BIRTHDAY LIST (lots of ideas for all the family!)
A ride-on walker quad bike!! (I think Nanny's getting this, and I'm very excited about it, though I suspect there won't be a motor in it...)
More books, especially touchy-feely ones (and The Gruffalo's Child book too).
toys with wheels to push along the floor
wooden toys
toys for stacking, putting together, or putting things in other things.
baby jigsaws
letters or a name plaque for my door
nice cot -bed bedding
stay put cutlery (that suckers to the highchair, so I can't throw it on the floor)
V-Tech Magic Moves Baby Ball (to crawl about after)
My First Photo Album from Marks & Spencer (so I can flick through and look at pictures of me, and Daddy and Mummy, without them worrying I'll screw them up or rip them).
Early Learning Centre Electronic Activity Cube (it's very busy)
Early Learning Centre Rhythm band (it's got a drum, a xylophone, and cymbals!)
