Aidan’s Gallery: twenty-one months old

I'm now one and three-quarters old! I've been away on holiday this month to the Peak District, and helped Daddy pack up his office at work, and room at college as he finished working at the University just before Easter.

Mummy and Daddy took me to the Peak District for a few days in March. I had a great time - we stayed on a real farm and I got to see the cows whenever we went outside. We also visited the Heights of Abraham where I had a wonderful ride in a cable car - I much preferred riding in it than going down into the dark caves! We also went to the Tramway Museum and I had lots of fun riding on the tram and playing in their wonderful soft play area.

I didn't feel very well for a couple of weeks this month though. I had very high temperatures on and off, and I didn't feel like eating for nearly two weeks. At first the doctor thought it was a flu virus, but then it developed into tonsillitis. The antibiotics made me feel much better very quickly though.

Daddy started his new job after Easter and he's really enjoying it. The only problem is that now he leaves before I wake up in the morning, and only gets back in time to give me my bath. I miss him lots, and keep bringing Mummy his photograph and saying "daddy, daddy, daddy" to her. I think she misses him too.

We had a visit from baby Isaac (and his Mummy) this month - Isaac is over a year younger than me, and I had a great time keeping him amused. I even helped to feed him, which Mummy and Sophie thought was very cute.

Working on the computer with Daddy. When I'm not working on this website, I love to play with my lightbox.
"Honey, honey, honey!" Definitely my favourite breakfast food - I can stick honey toast everywhere, and get all sticky myself! It tastes good too. "Honey, honey, honey!"

Lunch at the (very good!) chippy (Riverside Traditional Fish and Chips) in Godmanchester, en route to the Peak District.
Driving the tram at Crich Tramway Village (well, pretending to, anyway). Driving the tram at Crich Tramway Village.

"Nappy, nappy, nappy!" Trying to change my own nappy - I know when it needs changed, so I get everything ready, but I can't quite work out how to do the last step on my own.
Little racer! Daddy uses his bike to get to work (well, to the train station now), and I want to ride it with him! Little racer!

Peek-a-boo! Hiding in the curtains behind the sofa. I'm still a climber - I'm just getting better as time goes on! Nothing is out of my reach any more; I can scale great heights with ease.
