Art Attack

Leo is learning new tricks every day. Here he is mastering a straw!

 Dashing around the park!

 On the seesaw with Grandma!

 New art equipment - drawing and playdoh!

Ready..steady..GO!!

And he's off! Leo is doing more than a few steps these days - he's still a bit wobbly on his feet but we know we're going to be running after him before we know it!

 Here's Leo playing with Grandma! Leo was in charge of train track design.

 Here they are playing skittles!

Stuck on you

Leo decided to put a new interpretation on doing high fives, by using his face instead of his hands

  

 

And one for you too, Mummy!

Oooh, there's a nose to poke!

Seeing off Grandad at the Soho Hotel after brunch - way to go for a 72-hour surprise visit. Happily, there's still a few more days with Grandma.

Leo unfortunately vomited all over himself as we were walking through Grosvenor Square this afternoon. The hat was the only thing untouched so we headed back to John Lewis as the best place to rescue and clean up. After a good 20 minutes cleaning up the boy and removing the sheepskin buggy liner, and putting fresh clothes in, we set off. The only thing he didn't have was a jacket so Daddy chivalrously put his over Leo to keep him warm.  

Leo tried out Grannie Jean's Royal Doulton baby crockery for the first time. This was a gift originally for Zoe, and Leo was very happy to be putting it to use with a good bowl of spag bol.

Daddy worked out how to use vacuum to stick one of Leo's ducks on his back - stuck on you Leo!

And a super close-up to leave you with

Paddington Leo

This morning Leo got his own card from Felix and the Coopers down under. He loved opening the card and carrying it around the room. Mummy and Daddy loved reading the messages inside. 

Later, Leo tried on some clothes kindly donated by a friend. This gorgeous duffle coat will fit him one day..

Table topper

Leo suggested going for a nice coffee in Dulwich Village to escape the rain with Grandma and Grandad. 

He enjoyed sitting on the table!

 His apple was particularly tasty!

Kitty hunter

Leo showed off his superhuman strength today with some impressive bus-lifting.

 He had fun playing with the kitties!

 But he wasn't impressed when they hid under the couch - Leo wanted them to come out!

Breakfast viewing

Still enjoying watching the cats...

And the cats seem happy too
