MY FIRST VISIT TO BELFAST

I went to Belfast to say Happy Christmas to my Granny and Granda and all my Uncles and Aunties. I had great fun hanging out with everyone. They all made a big fuss of me and I got even more pressies! 

SANTA CAME!

I was a very good boy this year so Santa left me some great presents under the tree. I was up at 6 this morning to open them. He brought me a doggy called Scout!! We’re going to have great fun together.

A present? For Me?

IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS!

Granny Kathleen helped us make our house all Christmassy. 
I love the flashing lights on the tree and I'm having great fun with Frosty the Snowman and Santa. Thanks!

MY FIRST VISIT TO CORK

I'm just back from my first visit to Cork and it was very exciting. I met Nana and Granda and my Uncle Colm. Uncle DD and Caroline just got engaged so she'll be Auntie Caroline soon. Congratulations! I saw my Auntie Orla too & Auntie Aoife and Uncle Alan Skyped me. I played with a rattle and a slinky, got lots of great Christmas presents and everyone made a big fuss of me.

I stayed with Maria and Mick and saw my first doggy, Gus. 
He said "Woof, woof" to me. Cork is great fun!

 

CHEWING THE FAT WITH MY FRIEND DANNY

My friend Danny came to visit me yesterday with his mummy and we had great fun. We have lots in common. We’re both babies and we both love to chew! We sat around chewing the fat (and the toys). He invited me over to his house to chew his toys soon. I can’t wait!

THE VIEW'S GREAT FROM MY NEW HIGH CHAIR

I’m loving my new high chair! I’m very nosy so I can watch everything that’s going on. I’m still a bit wobbly in it but I’m getting better every day. 

So...What's for dinner?

I'M IN A BIG COT NOW!

I used to be a small fish in a big pond.

Then I was a big fish in a small pond.

And now I'm a small fish in a big pond again!

I've Just Discovered The Frog Song...

I think it's great and so does my friend, Froggy.

 

A Visit From My Granda & Uncle Raymie

Granda and Uncle Raymie came to visit me at the weekend. They brought me a big cot and took away my baby cot. I had great fun with them.

 

More Balloon Fun...

Nope, still not bored!

CAREFUL - I BITE!

Watch Out! It's the Sabre-Toothed Baby!

I've got my first tooth. It may be small but it's very sharp 
and I'm not afraid to use it.
It's also quite a sweet tooth - 
at the moment I will only eat pear and banana.

I LOVE MY BALLOON!

I’m really enjoying playing with my balloon. 
Oh look - my friend has a balloon too!

A VISIT FROM MY NANA & AUNTIE CHARLENE...

Nana and Auntie Charlene came to visit last weekend 
and brought me lots of presents.
I'm having great fun with my balloon!

BECKHAM WATCH YOUR BACK!

My ball is my new favourite toy. I've been practising my moves

and I've got the fancy-handwork sorted.

I think I might try using my feet next...

IS IT ME OR THE CUP?

Now that I've got the hang of food, how about something to wash it down with?

Maybe it's just me but this drinking lark seems like way more trouble than it's worth.

Anyway, why do I need to feed myself when someone else can do it for me?

I'm loving the new version of my favourite tune!

I thought the original was good until I heard this!

Mmmm... SWEET POTATO!

Maybe this food lark's not so bad after all.

GIVE ME MY BOTTLE!

Nope - if it's not milk I don't want it!

MY GUILTY PLEASURE...

I used to enjoy eating my whole fist but it was a bit uncouth
so now I've started sucking my thumb instead.
It's a bit babyish I know, but hey - I am a baby after all!

NEW TOYS!

Auntie Una & Uncle Keith brought me new toys all the way from Germany.
I've been having great fun playing with them!
THANK YOU!

ALL WRAPPED UP

& LOOKING FORWARD TO CHRISTMAS!!

SOMETHING'S BUGGING ME

I'm back to my old self again but something's bugging me -

if I've just been vaccinated, how come I'm covered in bugs?

I've come a long way in 4 months though...

VACCINATIONS :o(

I was very brave at the doctor's today.

I'm feeling VERY sorry for myself now though!

A VISIT FROM MY AUNTIE AOIFE...

Alex has something very important to say...

You'll only understand it if you speak Baby.

Apologies for my Mum - she only speaks gibberish.

Translation:

Sorry Aine for making Mum & Dad miss your wedding.

Hope you and Warren have a fantastic day tomorrow! Alex x

I Love Being the Centre of Attention

The president and vice president of my fan club came to see me today.

They bestowed many gifts upon me and I performed my full repertoire of tricks.

Today I'm mostly... eating my hands

I've got a very bad case of fist in mouth.I've been offered all sorts of fancy teething rings

but my hands taste much better.

VINTAGE ALEX

Here are a few classics from my younger days...

SEPARATED AT BIRTH?
