Hi all and a happy new year to you! I've got lots of stuff to share with you but as you can imagine after a long break ('oop north') there's lots to do to get back to normal, so until I can get more piccies sorted, here are some vids to be getting on with. Enjoy!

Before anyone gets the chance to show me, I'm off opening the big present at Nana and Grandads

Happy Birthday Jesus!

Jingle bells?

Wrap up warm!

Friday 23rd December

Hopefully the santa hat will distract from my dirty face

The major theme of the month seems to be 'coughing'. With Nadia and Daddy having a bit of a tough time (and mummy as a result having to look after them both), I managed to join the coughing gang, but unlike the other two am still full of beans and happy pootling around.

You can't beat a bit of sisterly Chrimbo love

Daddy took a couple of days off early in December and after dropping Nadia off at nursery we went with mummy to a lovely pub nearby, and I relished the attention for once! Mummy and I went back there with Grandma Moira when she came to stay for a few days - its a very cosy place.

Enjoying the attention at The Plough in Northfields

Because of Nadia's sickness, we've not been able to get out much (although I've managed to get out Chrimbo shopping with both mummy and daddy seperately and loved it!). However mummy did take me to Dusty Does Disco at another local pub last Sunday. There was lots of hi energy music and a big red dog (that's Dusty) who I loved - I had a fab time and mummy did too as it wasn't all nursery rhymes.

And finally I understand what daddy does for a job...


Are you a bingo caller, daddy?

And I had a great time at Oscar's earlier in the month...

I'm feeling really festive now and looking forward to Christmas - Nadia's even been teaching me some songs she learned from nursery (also now she is off she is running round chasing me more which I love and she makes me laugh).

Merry Christmas!

Monday 5th December



Ooh you can't beat a bratwurst!



It's been an exciting few weeks despite the constant coughs in the Connelly household and the now standard lack of sleep - even I have been suffering which is very unusual. Still it's not stopped us from getting out and about.

Nan and grandad come to stay



Nan and grandad came down on Thursday and it was nice to have their company (they braved it out on the sofas). We managed to get out to Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park for the second time in a week, which meant more sausage and funfair rides, and we also nipped to the dinosaur museum again as it was nearby.

I got to see Santa at Winter Wonderland (he spoke to me, even though he looks a bit unreal here!)

Cruising around in my new shoes in the dinsoaur museum

Zipping along on a ride in Winter Wonderland (Nadia was too scared to come on!)

On Sunday when nana and grandad went home we decided to go and listen to some carols in nearby Osterley Park. It hasn't rained a lot here of late, so we were a bit caught out when we arrived in the car park and the heavens opened. Anyway we soon got to listen to some carols - inside at first and then outside in the courtyard where I was happy wandering around just splashing in the puddles.

Splish splash (nice carols!)

I'm afraid the order of the photos goes a bit haywire from here - I'm still trying to figure out how to use the new blogging format. Hope you enjoy the photos...

On another rollercoaster with mummy (Naddy was too scared again)

Going down the slide near bunny park and learns the phrase 'see ya' in the process

Easy does it...

Where's the party?

Well it looks like Christmas has well and truly arrived - mummy and daddy have decorated the flat, and the Christmas tunes are on (and with two singing toys that I like to press the buttons on constantly some songs will be heard a lot more than others!). Daddy has been off a couple of days so I had a special pub lunch treat with just mummy and daddy today at a nearby pub (where I wolfed down a bowl of chips not long after my lunch at home).

See ya soon!
