Today We Went For A Walk In The City

Hi all!  Today I went in my pushchair for a walk with Daddy and Big-big Brother Jordan.  It was really nice, and I admit that I slept through a lot of it!  Still, we had a good time sorting out some of the family business, and seeing some sights.  Daddy took us up to the top of the car park at the Crowngate, which is what my American relatives would call a "shopping center."  From the car park we looked a direction daddy calls south, which is where the Cathedral is.  It was nice.  Daddy took a picture of it which I will put in below so you can see.  The streets the houses face are fairly normal, but daddy likes the backs of these buildings because they are put together in such a hodge podge manner.

We also looked in a direction called north, and up there were some holes in the ground that daddy says were where diggers were finding objects that belonged to the Ancient Romans.  I am really glad they found them so they could return them. 

I hope that you enjoy seeing some of the bits of the city I was born in.

Yours,

Kirynie

This is the Slug and Lettuce, an old church that has been converted to a night club.  How cool is that?  It is also visible in the picture above this one. 

My Daddy is VERY Excited

Dad says that he has ordered something for a camera called a lens, and that he is going to order the camera later this week.  He is very excited because he thinks it is a good one.  Maybe he will pull a nice camera out of a box, and maybe a point and shoot, but either way, I expect to steal it from him and have some pictures up here by the end of the week.  Fingers crossed all goes well! 

I need to say all the things I am doing these days too…  I have got two teeth really poking through my gums, and they hurt.  It is not fun, but if I give a good cry, mum and dad sort it out for me.  I do sit up pretty well now with nobody to balance me, and I can do it in the bath with my bath chair as well.  I really love my baths, they are loads of fun! 

You should see all the foods I can eat these days!  I have all kinds of things, from food in jars, to food in boxes, and sometimes I even eat food from the table that has been put into a machine to make it into sludge.  Why I cannot just gnaw on a chicken bone, I don’t know. 

I’m hungry, so I am going to go pester my dad for some grub now. 

Yours,

Kirynie

So THAT’S Christmas!!!

The thing called Christmas has come!  What a wonderful day it is so far too!  There are loads of things called "parcels" under that tree in the living room.  I love them!  There are so many in all different colours!  I have really enjoyed it so much!  I have been able to tear loads of paper, and get things out of it, then play with the paper!  Mum and Dan just laugh, and thing that watching me play with the paper is loads of fun!  Still loads more to do.  I will have to report it all later! 

I hope everyone else is really enjoying their paper as much as I am mine!

Happy Christmas! 

Kiry and Daddy!

It’s ALMOST Christmas ! ! !

It is almost Christmas, and my brothers are very excited about it!  As for me, I don’t even know what it is.  Does it have something to do with that tree growing in the living room?  Or is it to do with the packages all wrapped up in pretty paper?  My brothers think it is to do with the packages and what’s in them.  Mum and Dad seem to think it is about something else, but I am not sure at all what.  I wonder how long Christmas time will be around for?  I will see what I can figure out about it. 

I am very busy these days.  I have learned lots of new things.  If someone helps me to the right position, I like to sit up all on my own, and I like to look around and play with things while I do.  If Mum or Dad hold my hands, I love to stand up on my feet and play like I can do it all on my own.  Sometimes I wish Mum and Dad would let go and let me do it alone, but I think that if I did, it would leave me feeling a little flat.  I still love to watch movies with my family, and I love to play with my dummy all on my own now.  But I really love to sing now!  It is especially fun when everyone is watching a movie!  I will sing and sing till everyone is looking at me with that special look they like to give me!  It is loads of fun!

Well, I am off to sleep for my nap, something else I like to do every day.  By, and have a great Christmas Time!

Love,

Kiry and Daddy!

My New Stuff

Today I was able to do some new things.  Mum sat me up and I was able to stay up on my own!  And I can stand if helped to my feet and my hands are held which I love to do and would do all the time if I could on my own, and there is something new in my mouth. It is called a Toof! It popped out in the front at the bottom!  I want daddy to take a picture as soon as he can for me!  I like it so far!  Dad said something about being a-scared that I was going to chew all the furniture to bits though!

   

Sounds like FUN!!!

Till next time!

Kiry and Pa!

Figured it Out!

I figured it out in the end…  They have deliberately put that tree in the living room!  I still am not sure why though…  I would have wrote more about it yesterday, however, I went to the doctor’s office of something called immunization, and they stuck me with THREE jabs in the legs.  Mum and Dad says I was really brave though because I only cried for about a minute or less.  They were really impressed, but I can sure tell you, I was not!  Anyway, I was down with a fever yesterday, cause by those wicked jabs, so I could not come and write.  But I looked the tree over and the things on it, and I think it is supposed to signify something.  I think it is a decoration for one of them Holiday times like they had at Thanksgiving or Halloween!  So maybe this means something special is coming in a couple of days.  I’ll let you know when it gets here. 

Till then,

Kiry and Daddy!

Taking It TOO Far!

Okay, I know that my brothers keep a messy room, but they got loose in the house and now have taken it too far! The living room is such a mess that there is actually a tree growing in it!  (See picture below!)

They call this mess Christmas!  I am not sure what it is all about!  They are still at it!  I will have to get back to you with more later when I can find out what all this stuff is about.

Yours,

Kirynie and Daddy

Never too Early to Blog

It is six o’clock on a Monday morning, and daddy says that it is never too early in the day or in the week to make a blog post! 

This week something is supposed to happen.  It is a thing called Thanksgiving.  Daddy says that since I am half American, I have to celebrate it.  But mum and my brothers do too because they like to eat.  That’s about all I know about this holiday.  You all sit down and eat.  I don’t really get it because mum and dad and brothers and I sit down to eat every day!  So why have a whole day dedicated to it?  None of them need any extra food.

I have been adapting to mum not being at work lately.  Daddy stays at home and looks after Big-Big Brother and me, and Big Brother goes to school, whatever that is.  I think it is a club or something where they do the same sorts of things Big-Big Brother does at home.

I used to get really mad when mum first started back at work.  She would go away for so long and not be around for me to play with, so when she came home, I liked to ignore her for hours at a time.  Oh sure, she could cuddle and feed me, but I would not look at her because that would mean that in the morning when she left again, I would remember what she looked like and I would miss her.  After a week or two of this I realized that it was okay to be with daddy only during the days, and that if I didn’t look at mum, then I would be missing seeing her for even longer than the daytimes.  So I looked at her.  I love my mum!

Daddy can’t get his digital camera fixed, so there are still no fresh pictures for my blog.  Sorry!  Daddy says that he will gladly arrange to take contributions through Pay-Pal to the "Help Kelsey Fix His Digital Camera Fund."

Daddy says that we have a busy day ahead because we have got to go into town this morning, so I gotta go help him get ready. 

Reminder to all who have i-Tunes, If you go into the i-Tunes Store and search for a podcast using "Kelsey Bacon" as your search term, it will bring up the "Bacon Bits" podcast.  Episode 7 has a bit of me talking in it, especially at the end where daddy put in the sounds I like to make when I am eating my lunch!  The Bacon Bits podcast is another way to keep up with our gang!

Bye for now!

Kirynie and Daddy
