Watch those fingers!

Here's Leo with one of the hundred's of goats at the children's farm. He thought they were extremely funny!

Please can we have one Daddy??

We enjoyed an afternoon out at our first family farm on Thursday. Leo loved it and enjoyed stroking (somewhat firmly!) the rabbits and goats.

At Leo's nursery they have a rabbit called Elvis which he apparently loves so sure it won't be long until we convince Daddy to let us have one!

I'm feeling a bit better

We headed to the park on Boxing Day to cheer Leo up after a poorly Xmas day. He enjoyed bouncing on a few items but mostly liked watching Mummy make a fool of herself on everything!

Let's get wheeling!

Not sure Leo has quite got the right idea of what to do with his Wheely Bug from Gramps and Nanna Anna but sure he will get there soon!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Typical of our gorgeous boy - always happy to pose for the camera!

Leo and Rocky

Leo was bought a gorgeous rocking horse from his Uncle Stephen and Auntie Jacqui.......here he is with Uncle Stephen having his first go on Rocky!

Wow....

Check out the look of wonder on Leo's face as we unveil his first present! Think he has suddenly worked out that all this bright coloured boxes are filled with fun....yippee.

Yippee.....Father Christmas has been!

Despite not feeling too great on Christmas day thanks to a stomach bug, Leo enjoyed discovering that Father Christmas had come down the chimmney.

Thanks to everybody who sent Leo presents......he loved everything!

Snip snip

Leo's wig finally got too long and we had to take him for his first haircut! To say that it was an experience for Paul (and the barber) is an understatement....Leo wouldn't sit still but the end result is pretty damn cute!

Wrapped up for Xmas

Thanks to the recent chilly weather and freezing fog we have had a great opportunity to wrapped up Leo in cute snowsuits and hats!

Our angel on the tree

Leo made this gorgeous bauble for the Christmas tree at nursery, isn't it the best ever.

Getting in the Christmas spirit

Here's Leo full of Christmas cheer! Maybe we should have got him some pressies after all. There's still a few shopping days left so we might reconsider that policy.

Ho Ho Ho

Leo is getting in the swing of his first Xmas! He loves his new sleepsuits which feature Father Christmas and a Christmas pudding (very appropriate).

Here he is modelling one on a recent trip to Mallorca to spend a few days with Nanna Anna and Gramps.

These shoes were made for walking.

After weeks of Leo slip sliding around the kitchen floor and daredevil cruising, we took the plunge and finally had Leo measured for his first pair of shoes.

He measured in at a hefty 2 1/2 F (fat feet!) and after the poor sales assistant being subjected to Leo munching up his toes to stop any shoes being put on he eventually let us put on one pair of trainers. After that performance we had to buy them!

So here are his little trotters in his 1st pair of shoes..........wonder how long until he grows out of them?!?!

Here comes the bride......

Congratulations to Jo and Ross on getting spliced! It was a truly fantastic day and we were so proud to be part of it.

As you can see Jo looked beautiful and all the hardwork paid off as everything was just perfect!

Big Apple!

I went to NYC!! Ella and I had a fantastic four nights of sightseeing, shopping and sipping cocktails in the Big Apple.

Here we are on our way over to the Statue of Liberty. It was freezing!

Easy tiger!

This has echoes of the famous Vinnie Jones pic' when he's squeezing Gazza's "plums". Leo does look a bit surprised by Freya's no-nonsense approach, whilst butter wouldn't melt with Freya. We love Freya very much, even if she does look a bit like her dad Steve. Whilst Cherry went to NY, we watched the footie and had lots of fun in the bath.

Stand back!

You should see this little smiling monster in the bath, just pop him on his back and watch him go crazy like a demented frog. You get absolutely soaked bathing him, which he seems to particularly enjoy for some reason!

Look at those little teeth too, all four of the beauties. He's already learned that they can be used for biting people if he doesn't get his own way.

burrrrr!!!

Winter has hit Wokingham and so Leo has got his winter woolies out of the cupboard. We know we are biased but what a gorgeous baby!

The lion has been caged.....

Poor Leo, now he is on the move all he seems to find are babygates in his way. Wonder how long it will be until this cheeky chap works out how to open them!

Handsome or what?!?!

We are so proud of our very handsome son!!

I'm spinning around.....

Leo has a new favourite toy which spins, sings and can be chewed all day.......what fun! Thank you Rose for Leo's present.

The washing fairies machine

Crawling is sooooo last week........it is all about pulling myself up now on the most random of objects. The washing machine is a particular favourite especially when there is a coloured wash on, which is of course most of the day with Leo now in residence.

Sunday Best

Leo had his first trip to a church yesterday for his friend Thomas' christening. He got all dressed up and looked soooooo cute. Here is a rare shot of the three of us although Leo decided that this was the best moment to blow some raspberries!!

The next Beckham?!?!

Leo had his first encounter with a football at the weekend and we are pleased to say that he loved it! There was plenty of dribbling going on although most of that was from Leo's mouth...here's hoping we have a premiership player in the making!!!

Leo and his mates

We had a great time with John and Ella this weekend. Leo loved practising his crawling at their house, getting food all over their patio and making sure they spent every possible minute entertaining him!!

Beer monster!!

Leo loves Uncle Johnny.......he lets him drink beer down the pub!! Here are the terrible twosome tucking into a quick halfer when we visited John and Ella this weekend.

Lets trash the joint!!

Life in the Giles household will never be quite the same and definitely not as tidy. Now he is on the move Leo has just this morning tried to chomp though most of the cable in the house, tried to eat the fake coal on the fire and pulled himself up on the curtains. What fun!!

Blimey, what's happening here then!!

The holiday was truly magical especially as after weeks of practising our little man started properly crawling and learnt how to sit himself up in the space of two days.

Here he is looking a tad surprised with himself!
