My first fancy dress party

Hello, happy Sunday

Yesterday Mama and I went to my first fancy dress party! I was outnumbered though by lots of girls. I was a little shy at first and sat on Mama's knee taking it all in, but then I got into my stride and chased balloons around and ate chocolate cake. I had lots of fun. In the photos I am wearing a traditional Indian kurta and dhoti with my silver jingly ankle bracelets on. Mama said I looked like a prince from 'The King & I'. I think I may wear this for my christening too...if it still fits. xxxxxx

Multitasking - talking AND crawling!

Life in the fast lane

Buenos dias.
We have just returned from a romantic Valentine's break to the fabulous Leela Palace in Bangalore, another taste of 5 star luxury for me! I just keep lapping it up! Within moments of arriving all the staff knew my name, from the Gurkha doormen to the Duty Manager, one bat of my big eyes and everyone came running! Papa had some meetings there, in the meantime, Mama and I did some shopping, had a dip in the pool and I did a lot of crawling and exploring around the lobby, hauling myself up, effortlessly, on the silk divans and generally loving my new surroundings. Mama and Papa had planned a romantic evening meal and I was fast asleep but as we left the hotel room I opened my eye and I twigged what was happening and decided to stay awake all throughout dinner. I like to keep them on their toes! So we celebrated Valentine's evening en famille - he he he. Crawling is passe now and I much prefer to be standing at every opportunity, as you can see from the photos. Mama can't baby proof the flat fast enough!

I also want to wish Nanny Happy 60th Birthday!!!!! We love you and miss you very much, you're the best. xxxxxxxx

Happy viewing!

Here are a couple of videos that Mama has taken of me this week. During the "Dinnertime" video Mama mistakenly held her hand over the speaker in the last bit of it so don't think there is something wrong with your computer when everything goes quiet! I am very well,really loving standing up against anything going and I love following Mama from room to room. My latest discovery is that the toilet seat makes a great noise when I bang it! The other video is of me playing with my favourite "toy" which is the telephone, no matter where I am I make a beeline for it. Itkeeps me entertained for ages, especially when it starts to play a song. We love you all and miss you every day. Ciao xxxxxx

Sleeping and standing - my two favourite pastimes!

Hello

Here are a few photos from the last few days. I now love standing up using anything within reach, usually Mama's legs. Daddy and I went with Mama for her tennis lesson on Sunday as the court is in the middle of farmland. Whilst Mama was playing Daddy took me for a walk on his shoulders, I held onto his hair for support! I loved being outside "mooing" at the cows and "baaing" at the sheep. Our cleaner, Sujatha, now makes me chapattis every morning which I have with my lunch, they are so tasty. Today I had a banana flavoured one which was just yummie. I love all my food really, especially the fresh strawberries which are now in season and the extra juicy pineapples. Mama has also made me some delicious chicken recipes, my favourite is chicken and apricot with lentils. Yum yum.

Love you all, remember you can skype us! xxxx
