I can smile loads now, mum is always trying to make me laugh, I'm saving my first actual chuckle for when she does something really funny, she has to earn it.

Trick or Treat! I went to see my NCT buddies for a bit of Halloween fun today. We had to sit around on sofas together while all the mums laughed and took pics of us.

Dad does his best to keep up with me by drinking lots of coffee, he was meant to put me in the moses basket but fell asleep so I decided to be cosy with him for a while. Look how long my arms look!

I've started yoga, it very calming and good for your joints. Here I am feeling very zen and that's before I have even taken my coat off. We do lots of singing too, mum is trying to teach dad the songs but she can't remember the tunes, I'm hoping she improves soon.

Today I went to Baby Sensory with Clara and Marianne. To be honest I was a bit worn out and not really up for it, so I spent most of the time yawning, I liked some of the songs but then I got a bit bored so had a cry. I know Mum likes it so I'll give it more of a go next week.

Wednesday was much better, I went to see my first film at the cinema with my friend Clara. We saw On The Road, I really enjoyed it, I thought the film was beautifully shot and really like the director Walter Salles. The cinema is great, I'm going back next week the seats are really comfy!

It's been quite a week, I've been very busy. I had my first round of injections on Tuesday, here is a picture of me just before we went to the doctors, I didn't look like this after the injections, I had one in each leg at the same time, ouch! I coped by having a bit of a scream and then blocking everything out and sleeping for the rest of the day.

Last Wednesday  Dad took the day off work and took me and Mum to the Red Lion for lunch, they took me in the pram which I hate, I wish they would carry me in the sling all the time. It was my first time in a pub, I liked it!

Here I am with a few of my NCT crew. In total we're 4 boys and 4 girls. I love having these guys as my first friends. We meet once a week and our mums chat about us and eat cake. Thank god for the NCT gang, they have kept mum sane!

Mum and Dad bought me a play gym this weekend! Mum isn't so keen on the garish colours, plastic bits and the songs, especially the bird one that sounds like the music they play on Big Brother when they can't air what the housemates are talking about. But it's not for her it's for me and I love it! It's so much fun, its like I'm really in a tropical rainforest with so much to look at and so many interesting noises. I'm not sure the giraffe and elephant really belong in the rainforest but they are welcome to stay. It's such a great toy and gives me a bit of a break from Mum and Dad.

My favourite place to go for lots of walks is Hollow Ponds and Wanstead Park. We like to look at people on the boating lake and will them to fall in! 

Another good sleeping position is on my feeding pillow, all mums should get this it's called 'my brest friend'.

This is one of my preferred sleeping positions, in Daddy's arms with my hands ready for action as soon as I wake up.
