Matty Walking

Timmy is going to be a year old very soon. He's almost exactly the same age as Matty was when we first moved to London and it's interesting to see the similarities and the differences between the two of them. There are still some developmental milestones that I'm waiting for. e.g. Timmy still has no teeth!!

The other major thing which Matty started to do when he was about a year old was to start walking. I was looking thru some of the old video clips I'd taken of Matty and found an amusing one which I just had to put up on the blog. I watched it quite a few times and it was just hilarious.. enjoy!


As you can see, kids are quite resilient to the knocks and bumps of life.. =)

On top of the world

Now that our time in London is coming to an end, we have to start doing some of the stuff that we'd like to do before going home. One of the things on this to-do list is going on the London Eye, so on a nice sunny weekend, off we went!



After queueing for about an hour (to buy tickets, and then to get on), we finally "boarded" one of the pods. The view was actually pretty nice from up there, and as you can see, it was a really wonderfully sunny day.



I personally found the view of the other pods & the eye's mechanism a lot more interesting than the view of London..



The boys all had a good time, and I tried not to feel too scared of the height. We stopped moving for a few minutes when we were about 2/3 of the way up and I got a little paranoid about it having broken down and us being stuck up there for hours... But thankfully that didn't happen. Also thought it was very sneaky of British Airways to put their logo prominently on some of the windows for free publicity in millions of photos all around the world!

It's a miracle..

It's funny how things turn out. Just 2 days after I put up the last post on Timmy messing up his shelf, I thought I'd try to teach him how to tidy up after himself.



And as you can see, voila, mission accomplished! He's now pretty good at putting his small toys into a larger box or container. Hurrah!! =)
