Grandad Hans' birthday

This weekend has been all about Opa Hans and his birthday. Yesterday we had coffee and cake with Opa Hans and Oma Gerda (well I just got milk but that is even better than cake). Then, today we celebrated with the Philipps and Tante Elsbeth. Look how Uncle Markus can keep me calm - what a star - you can tell he has had two babies to practise with ;-).

Mum's new potty technique

I've mentioned before that being on the potty is not my favourite activity in the world. Well thanks to Mum's new technique (partially inspired by Gran Helen's advice) - see picture below - some times it is not too bad.

Snug as a bug ....

I am hiding somewhere in the bundle down below. So comfy and how cool does Daddy look? However, will he be able to work out how to tie this thing again? I doubt it....

Potty training ....

Check me out. Not quite 3 weeks old and I am already using the potty. How many babies can say that? I must admit it is not my favourite pastime and I scream quite a lot when they first lift me on to the potty, but I am slowly getting used to the experience and I am generally successful. Look at my technique:



and the outcome (for those squeamish amongst you, you may want to avoid scrolling down)

Meet my Grandparents....

well my German ones anyway. Opa Hans and Oma Gerda have been seeing quite a lot of me and slowly but surely have become more confident that they can hold and cuddle me without me breaking. See the evidence below:



I was really enjoying lying in Granny's arms. I am also looking forward to meeting my Scottish Grandparents very soon :-)
