1st Christmas

Mikey seems rather bemused by the whole concept of Christmas! Thankfully he is now fully recovered from his pre Christmas illness (as he kicked over his medication on Christmas Eve!!) and had been observing the whole thing quite carefully! The present thing has baffled him, but his cousin helped out on the opening side of things... he seems relatively impressed by the small toyshop we now have in our living room especially as most of them make a copious amount of noise! At least they have off switches or I'd be removing batteries very quickly!

At least the snow seems to have stuck on the other side of the pond over Christmas...seeing as Mikey had to get to his adoring fans it was a huge relief as Andy isn't happy driving in ice etc and got a little stressed on Christmas Day as the road my sister lives on was still more like a skating rink than tarmac! We also headed over the Canterbury to see Andy's Dad on Monday.... more new people for Mikey to meet and he handled that with ease! He can be very sociable when he needs to and extremely charming (well he did get to sit on the lap of a glamorous blonde!!)

We have also moved onto cups for juice... a big step forward that he handled with ease! Although Pear juice can have quite an effect on nappies... I think that is enough detail though! He has also worked out that sticking hands in food is fun and you can clean your mouth by just wiping it with your sleeve! I guess mud pies will follow in the warmer weather!!!
