Reuben wants to know how far he can walk on the edge...always testing the boundaries!:))

We have just spent a great day in London! I have been meaning for some time to go to London but did not manage yet! It was daddy who decided to have a look at some exhibitions and we joined. Rebekah, reuben, Mummy and Emese our dear friend from Romania(who is also au pairing until December in the neighbourhood). We had a gorgeous Starbucks coffee in Haze Galeria, then we strolled on the South Bank (Reuben loved it and he behaved ever so good) and then we went a few stops with the underground...and got to MUMMY;s favourite place St George's Hights where we had some beverages before making our trip back home by bus, train and car...ah and yes we have a new car (very exciting a HONDA CIVIC as our Dihatsu is in service) ....so Reuben had a facinating day and we did too! Enjoy the pics!


(Pleased to report I bought exectly nothing).

Rebeka admiring the boats and the view of the River Medway!

And Rebeka waiting for her prince on a white YACHT!

Reuben playing with Mrs. BOBOROSKI's gift to the grandparents (it is a cat)...yummy he even tasted it to our horror!

Conversating about this and that with Grandad or is it a close inspecttion?!

Now this is a first! Reuben was trying to give desperatly some pf his drink to Noah....who was very happy to get some but....the hight problem was a bit of a problem!

Ok! He is adement he can feed himself even if this means....mess everywhere and less food in the tummy! We have given up trying to tell him he needs to wait and get better coordination....so this is the result!...still how happy is he!!

Ok same as above but no comment.....HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELp! THanks God bath time is after dinner time!

Hello

Reuben had an interesting day today! He was very unpredictable...we expected him to drop off to sleep around 10am but he did not sleep until 12 by which time we should have been at grandad and grandma in Sittingbourne. We then arrived late at 2pmish and spent the afternoon with the Smiths (grans) which was great! We ended up inspecting the highstreet which meant that we bought again some bits and pieces for who else but R!!!!???:))) Yes a loan moer (sp) and some tapestry for the walls in his rooms in shapes of cars and planes.

He has enjoyed food well today and was a really good boy except this evening when he kept faling all over the place....then made a mess by eating his dinner with a spoon and the left hand....see pics! MXX

Here Master Reuben Michael Smith enjoying his first ever piano lesson! Watch the space I hear music .....nice music!

Reuben and Georgia at the Cathedral Tea Rooms Gardens!

Reuben pointing at the grass...what was he saying?

Rebekah will hate this pic of herself but we love it because we think these two are the most beautiful gifts we have had!

Reuben knows its time to sleep after all that fun! He says cheeky bye bye!for now...
Reuben has teeth nr 3&4 out at the bottom! We can just about see them...they are tiny but no doubt painful as he has been really cranky these days!
We had grandma and grandad around yesterday and was such a nice time...daddy came home earlier than usual which meant that it was all all good! We expectig daddy early today too cause he hopefully will get a new routine where he can get home by 5:30 and we can all have dinner at 6pm!!! that means we will have some time to chill all together then sleepppppppahh we neeed some sleep!
We are missing our friends Natalie and Cammy....but we are trying to be busy seeing all our other friends in the mean time!

Hello
We had an eventful week! Reuben has been up and down...with cold symptoms and bad nights...we were in for serious teething. Thursday night he had a high fever and again we thought thats to do with teething. On Friday am he was covered with spots and we still risked the nursery as he felt ok (other than being a bit of a winger) and when I picked him up they said it could be chicken pox! ...I did think it was more like a heat rush which he had before when he had fever but...also thought they might be right....Saturday am nothing no spots ...(was I right?) today he was rather crancky and even he slept quite well he was very clampsy and naggy. I would think he is teething after all. Reuben these days loves pushing panda around in his new stroller. He also loves playing with his cars but loves it best when we have visitors. He is rather clingy and often doesn;t want food...we are marching on and put this down to teething. He still has not had a long night sleep we are still up 3-4 times and night. He love chattering, loves shaking his head to say no...then he loves sorting out mummys cupboards in the kitchen. Started likeing french toast (egged bread) and says: there, quite clearly. He is very good on his feet and loves dancing (doing squatts to the music). He is generally well but gets frustrated if we don;t know what he is trying to say then kind a looks at us and says "you are not with it people" in his language then walks away...he is so cute:)))

Its ok if its raining we can still enjoy the stroll...and Panda needs the fresh air.

RAINING RAINING BUT IT DOESN:T STOP US HAVE FUN!

Its raining today but Rebekah tells me its ok to be out! Loved it.

Here Reuben is being cheeky!

Here Reuben is multitasking!

Here is Reuben taking Panda out for a stroll! Ignore the fact that the stroller is pink it has got some blue in it! And....ahhhh well he liked it! Mummy loves it too!

Happy Bday daddy! Such a nice weekend! Mummy baked you a nice bday cake with loads of love...and you had presents toooooo

Ok! R loves dancing and here Daddy is being tought how to dance....who was teaching who?!

Here we were enjoying Esplanade with Ioana, Mummy and ME (Reuben).

Yes, shopping again this time with Ioana and ....ok believe or not mummy and Rebeka was there too...but they were already in the shops?! :))

What a lovely day we have spent at Thomas's Christening! The afterparty was lovely as well with a lot of attention to detail and amazing food and drinks!

I was enjoying the view loads of tables with nice people and foods!

Mummy's favourite pictures!

We then visited granparents in Sittingbourne and had a lovely coffee!
