9 April 2015

 We woke up long before Nixon this morning. Actually I don't even know what time Nixon woke but Mick had fed the dogs and come back to bed with a cuppa which was well finished before we heard little chattering coming from the room next door.

 Our favourite part of the day when Nixon stays is the snuggles in the morning. Nixon just loves the Old McDonalds Farm book. Actually after Mick went out to do something with the dogs Nixon was walking around saying "Woof, woof". He is quite the wee parrot at the moment.

Giving Nixon a kiss. A selfie kiss?!

 When Mick went off to walk the hounds Nixon was at the windows saying "Grandad" He doesn't say it so clearly but it is Grandad. He is certainly Grandad's boy.

 We made the most of Grandad not being around to have a wee dance around the lounge. Nixon taught me some cool moves.

Don't let them put me back in bed Charlie!!!

 Charlie doesn't like Nixon crying. He hangs around like he is checking on him. I think it annoys Nixon even more!

 When Nixon got up from his sleep Grandad was in charge. They had toasted sandwiches for lunch. It was a coincidence that Nixon filled his pants just as I arrived home... or had Grandad chosen not to notice? Hmmm. I have my own theory on that one! I had to pop to town to get my lashes done and pick up some warm clothes for our wee man. It was pretty cold today. All the animals were hanging around when I got home. Baxter, Charlie and Feral. They all have a bit of a claim on Nixon. Feral just likes him (and the rest of us) when she is cold. He is like a wee belly warmer!

Posing for nana.

We had a lovely day even though was too cold and damp to go outside but just before bath time we let Nixon go out for a little while. Poor wee guy was stuck inside all day but he didn't seem to mind. He sat on Grandad's knee at tea time. I put Nixon's dinner on Mick's plate because he does prefer to eat off his plate rather than his own!

Nixon was back in bed by 7pm tired and ready.

Catching up

I am way behind my nana blogs. It looks like I haven't seen my wee man in ages so here is a wee gallery of some recent visits before I blog about our lovely day today :)

 Today! 8 April 2015

Very exciting to see Nixon and his mum and dad over for a couple of days. Nikki and Hayd are off to Ed Sheeran. Nixon gets to spend a couple of days with us. His first word when he got out the car was Nana! How excited was I?!!!

 Guess who is walking? Not just walking but carrying around heavy machinery too!

 The first fairy blowing experience after just one lesson.

Maybe wiping the nose first could be a plan to make sure all the fairies can be freed!

 Let's try again!

 Hmmm I wonder how they taste?

 No Charlie. You can't eat the fairies!

 Getting splashed by Grandad

 Crawling on the couch to watch Grandad drive to town to get the milk. Not looking too pleased about being left at home with Nana!

 The flash silk pjs. Getting very tired.

 Watching Grandad hang the washing. What a good role model!

A day out at Te Matatini 

Snuggles with Grandad before we head out.

 Posing with mum!

7th March

 Nixon calls all the dogs "Puss" I think they are getting a complex. He is so gentle with Charlie.

 Dinner time. Thanks Grandad.

 Blowing the nose.

 We aren't allowed to chase that cat eh Charlie?

 Brrrmmmm

 Milk mustache

 Kisses for Grandad

 A morning at the Swannenoa Fair

28 February

 Who needs expensive toys to keep a child amused?!

 Cuddles for Grandad!

 Aww seriously Nana this is so not cool!!!

 Hello? Hello? Are you there?

 Say Cheese!!!

 Nixon the explorer

 Don't show this poncy photo to my mates!

 Come on Grandad, let me help feed the dogs!

 27 February

We were lucky enough to  have our wee man come and stay for a few days. Check out the hair cut!

 Nixon kept going out onto the driveway. I couldn't think of anything more painful than crawling around on that rocky place. Charlie wasn't far behind him anywhere he went.

 The little truck wasn't as cool as Grandad's big cars.

 Nixon was standing up a lot more but not taking those steps we so wanted him to take!

 February 14

I think this is a shot that Nikki or Hayden took and put on the net. I'm not sure how I got it on my computer. Not walking yet but standing at this stage :)
