He's a catfantoo

Mummy was on a night shift but was not forgotten by Leo, who was talking lots about Mu-May, finally complementing his frequent references to Da-Dee.

He enjoyed watching the cats eat their breakfast while Daddy prepared his.

And then playing with them and one of their cat toys (they felt safer with him on the other side of his playroom gate)

And obviously, he's not the only cat fan in the house. Here is Daddy getting some attention while Leo was having his nap next door.

Sit doooowwwwnnn!

Leo is really starting to find his feet - and he keeps trying to show off how well he can walk in the bath. Uh oh. Our stern "sit down on your bottom" is met with a cheeky grin and "doooowwwwwnnn" from Leo..

Catspotter

It's been a day of the little catboys getting to know the rest of us. They've been purring and getting them tummies tickled by Mummy and Daddy, and Leo has been sniffed a few times. He enjoyed sitting in his bouncer watching them walk around the kitchen.

And after his nap he was seeking them out under the table and chasing them around the kitchen and playroom for 5 minutes. They were obviously too fast for him, but he gamely persisted.

We did make it down to Dulwich village for a coffee and cookie. Leo enjoyed having a booster seat which made him feel like a big boy.

There was just time for a trip to the playground in Dulwich Park before it got dark. As well as the usual swings, Leo and Mummy tried out a roundabout.

Leo got a temperature by the end of the day and wasn't feeling the best. Here he is cuddling Mummy and showing off his cute foot.

And then we were five

Today was the day when Leo got his first cats, a pair of as-yet-unnamed beautiful sleek, black male 7 month-olds. Here is Leo learning about being a cat-owner while we wait at the Celia Hammond Animal Trust.

And here he is as we head home, pointing to his feline friends alongside him, all three meowing.

They're being shy so far, so not making themselves available for many photos. Here's about as good as we've got so far.

After dinner, Leo enjoyed playtime and made a big tower with Mummy. Leo decided it would be best to have a man on a goat at the top of the tower.

Ear we go

 Leo and Mummy had lunch with friends in a cafe near Dulwich Park. Leo attracted a lot of attention with his spaghetti face and eating technique (out of the pouch with his hands!).

At dinner time Leo decided to try out a new eating technique - putting food in his ear!

 After dinner it was playtime!

Some quickies

A Leo favourite is Daddy's water bottle...

And this is the look that Leo uses when he's making friends with strangers at the bus-stop

Punk'd

Daddy was running short of blog ideas after picking Leo up from nursery. So Leo got a new hairstyle for his blog fans.

And here's a couple of outtakes for purely / poorly artistic reasons
