New Year, New Baby!

Since I was born I have been keeping mummy and daddy busy so they haven't had time to blog anything but today I have given mummy a ten minute break to get some photos and words down. I may still get hungry and start to cry any minute though so let's see how that goes!

At the moment I'm feeding every couple of hours and sleeping the rest of the time although this morning I decided to stay awake between 9.30am and 1.30pm just to keep mum and dad on their toes. I finally gave into sleep when mummy took me on a stroll around Sainsburys to get some biscuits and vegetable stock (boring!).

This morning I had a bath which I really enjoyed. Daddy took a video and some stills came out pretty well of my cute face.

As I said I've been wide awake today but I can't say the same for those two - they look a bit sleepy sometimes. Who knows why when there's so much fun to be had!!

Christmas Day

Well as promised day 1 of the blog for baby Pastorino who is refusing to come out yet.

Mummy and daddy celebrated without them in style, as you can see!

The day started with some present unwrapping...

....and some silly hats

the usual phone calls to friends and family....

Then onwards and upwards to the feast which I finally roped Paolo into helping with the sprouts and peeling chestnuts. He said this work wasn't worthy of him but never mind!!

We obviously had to crack a cracker (Paolo got his customary toolkit)

.....and open a bottle of bubbly.

But the real proof was in the carving. As usual Paolo did a splendid job. The cooking wasn't bad either even if I do say so myself!!

After all that, we both felt very full and sleepy so we vegged out on the sofa watching 'Happy Feet' and a variety of other cartoons. So in other words, the usual Christmas day. Hoping tomorrow will bring in an appearance from another friendly face, but not the guy who comes down the chimney!
