...learning to wave....it helps if you've got so many clothes and coats on that your arm is stuck int the 'wave' position!!!! :-) in AUGUST!!!!

let me know when its safe to come out and build a sandcastle....!

Yes, that's right....I did say 'AUGUST' bank holiday Monday!!! We enjoyed chips and ice-cream at Cleethorpes :-) Not sure you enjoyed the sand being blown into your face though....!

Come on sheep! Smile for the camera! Daisy isn't here!

August Bank Holiday Monday...on the way to the seaside....Thornton Abbey. Mummy says they have the CLEANEST toilets ever!!

'Flexing muscles...' Round 1 with white tiger to Daniel.....Round 2 with Daddy....in progress.....

Dear Daniel, Daddy lovingly named this teether as 'the most boring toy in the world' its one of your favourites!! Especially at meal times when you get bored of mushed veggies!!

Well Daniel, this could be you suggesting you'd like to join a choir, but no, we think you're just bored!!!!

Ok Daniel, we'll tell you what your cute facial expression means when you're old enough to take a joke....but for now....suffice to say.....Mummy and Daddy know that Parcel Force is about to arrive!!!

Yey! Daddy's off to Wembley!!! Yey!!!

(and they won Daniel!!!) Thank you Grandma and Grandad for Daddy's early xmas pressie!

"Yes, Daisy....I know she's still got the camera pointed at us....but the trick is to act like you don't know.....keep your head down.....and avoid eye contact at any cost!!!"

Yey! My new toy!! I can touch the floor and everything....! Daisy....look more excited!!!

"Let's just look like we don't know what she's talking about Daisy...."

Phew! All that multi-tasking has given me an appetite! I'll chew on 'G'day Mate' white tiger!! Daddy needs to think of a better name for poor tiger.....before I eat him!!!!

Mummy's making me multi-task AGAIN! Sitting up... smiling... AND showing off Auntie Lara's gorgeous jumper that fits me perfectly now I'm bigger (though some alterations required to save my ears please!!)

Hmmm, yummy milk Grandma :-) Thank you SO much for a wonderful weekend of fun. I so enjoyed my time home alone with you and Grandad whilst Mummy and Daddy had a nice walk.x

See Uncle Andy.....I don't bite....do I?! :-) Thanks SO much for teaching me to play with the toys that you played with.....hmmm,......31yrs ago???!!!!........:-)

Now look, Uncle Andy, who is MORE scared??!! You OR me??!!

Your first trip to Grandad's Bowling Green. Very lucky with the weather!

"I love my Grandad"

Dear Grandma and Grandad, this is proof that, when I was 6mths old, I let you lie in til 7.55am!! I'm afraid I cannot make any guarantees that I'll give you this much of a lie in in the future!!! Lots of love, Daniel xx PS I had SO much fun with you :-)

Grandad, are you really making me travel in the boot of your car with Captain Spook???

Keeping up the cool funky hat thingy!

Mmmm, lovely days out with Mummy and Daddy. An intrepid walk around Elsecar Community Park....well, actually, we didn't get all the way round due to overgrowth, but lots of fun anyway....dead fish....ducks....dodgy loos....hot sunshine....and ice-creams!!!

Learning to fight off the wild animals!! This gorgeous white tiger is from Auntie Vicki from down under.... 'G'day Mate!'

Daisy to the rescue!!!

VERY bored of multi tasking!!!!!!!

Bored of multi tasking!!!!

Who says men can't multi task?? Learning to bounce AND holding a ball - that's multi tasking!!! :-)

Daniel, your Mummy has been waiting 6mths for you to fit into this extremley cute GAP outfit from Uncle Stephen and Auntie Alison! :-)

Ok, Daniel, VERY proud moment for Daddy and Mummy!!! You are 5 and a half months old and you have learnt to sit!!! Congratulations!!! NB: there was a small head injury incurred in the making of these very cute photos! A forlorn Mummy has taken full responsibility and given a large hug in recompense.

Two VERY strange men are in my house!!!

Life is just SOOOOOOOOOOOOO funny!!!

Hi Daniel, Mummy didn't realise that the photo's of Uncle Andy and Auntie Paula were under a different file name! So, here we are, the day that you had such a lovely time with them. Uncle Andy still claims that he's scared of you! But you were thrust into his arms just before he left to go home!!! You're not so scarey, are you?! Look at those thunder thighs showing through!! Yours that is! Not Uncle Andy's!!!!

Looking cute!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok Daniel, Mummy has decided that as well as your smiles, you are going to be famous for your hat collection!! She's been bitten by the bug of looking for the coolest hats for you on the internet!! This one by Toby Tiger (which was cheaper on amazon!) is her FAVOURITE!!! She's finding it hard to resist the multi-coloured striped full ensemble!!!! :-) maybe Father Christmas............. Mummy will try to find a pickie to post of her in her multi-coloured striped leggings that she wore for Masterchef!!

Life is just SO funny!!!!
