Last day in Dubai until after summer

Today was my last day in Dubai until September. Mummy and I are going on a big plane tomorrow morning and I'll see all my family and friends again. I can't wait! My friend Cora and her mummy Ruth are also flying back tomorrow so we get to play at the airport. Our flight is early and we have to be at the airport at 5am! Mummy is hoping that I will stay awake until we get on the plane and then sleep for a good few hours. If I don't then she is going to give me something called Nurofen. Lots of mummy's say its very good to help babies sleep!

We went to our last Boogie Babies today. I was very grumpy and didn't enjoy it at all. Mummy says its because my last molar (tooth) is coming through and my gums hurt. I agree with her! After Boogie Babies we went to lunch with Ruth and Cora and Rachel and Ella. Cora and Ella slept but I was wide awake and stole a few chips from Ruth!

This afternoon I did a very silly thing. I walked into a wall. It hurt a bit and  I cried for about one minute and then I was fine. I have been very hyperactive this afternoon and have been making mummy and daddy laugh a lot. I like to pull my dress up over my head and walk round. Daddy took lots of photos of me doing this and mummy has promised to upload when she is back in Dubai.

Right, bedtime for me. See you all soon.

Lots of love

Doing brunch

Yesterday mummy, daddy and me went for brunch at a place called Al Qasr with Phil, daddy's friend from work. It was quite fancy but I really enjoyed myself. At first I was very shy around Phil but I was soon used to him. I really like eating with mummy and daddy as I get to eat all sorts of yummy things and things I'm not allowed very often (chips and ice-cream!). Al Qasr is very fancy and there were lots of ladies really dressed up. Of course my mummy looked the best! Friday Brunch is very popular here. Basically yoiu get to eat (and drink!) as much as you like for about four hours! There was a band playing and I liked to dance in my high chair.

Daddy took me for a walk and I was a bit unsteady on my feet and lots of people were laughing at me and saying I looked drunk!

A man called a caricaturist drew a funny picture of me and mummy is going to get it framed. In the drawing I have really long eyelashes and big lips! Its funny.

This week is our last week in Dubai before we fly home and mummy is going to take me to lots of soft play areas so that I can play with my friends and say goodbye.

See you all soon.

Being helpful

Hi everyone, its really hot here now and we can't wait to come home next week! I'm coming on in leaps and bounds (don't know what it means but it sounds good and I hear mummy saying it!) and every week I'm doing new things. The newest thing that I do is help mummy round the house. I like to put my nappy in the dustbin in the kitchen and I really like helping mummy hang the washing up on the dryer. Sometimes I drop it on the balcony and mummy says "oh Amelie". When I drop it mummy puts it back in the washing basket. Not sure why! I like to rub my hands together like mummy and daddy. They laugh when I do that!

Today I went to the Oasis Mall with my friends Cora and Ella and their mummies. I'll really miss them when we go home but I get to see all my UK friends and my cousins and that's very exciting. I'm not eating much at the moment as I have three teeth coming through at once, all on the bottom. They hurt and the pain puts me off my food. Mummy hates it when I don't eat. I have to say I am quite messy as I throw all my food on the floor. Mummy has to clean up a lot.

Have to go now. See you all really soon!

Lots of hugs

Father's Day

Today is Father's Day but here in Dubai the weekend is Friday and Saturday so daddy had to go to work today. Boo. We celebrated Father's Day yesterday instead and we had a lovely day. Daddy booked us into a nice hotel called the Jumeriah Beach Hotel on Friday night so we spent most of the day there on Friday and some of yesterday. We had a really cool room which overlooked this funny building called the Burj Al Arab. Apparently only rich people stay there as its very expensive. I liked to look out of the really big windows and bang on them as well. We spent a lot of time at the pool but it was very hot. I loved the pool and because it was sloped like at the beach I could run in every five minutes. Mummy and daddy kept chasing me. It was great fun! After the pool went for dinner at a place called Beachcombers. The food was nice and I ate quite a lot of prawn crackers which mummy and daddy thought were spicy. I thought they were yummy! I got to stay up quite late. A real treat!

Yesterday we gave daddy the card that mummy and I made. I didn't really like making the card as mummy put paint all over my hand and I don't really like that. Daddy loved the card though so it was worth it. I also bought him a photo frame that says Me and My Daddy. We are going to find a nice photo of the two of us to put in the frame.

We are coming home in less than two weeks now. Mummy can't wait!

See you soon

A busy few weeks

We have had a busy few weeks. First of all we spent the weekend at the Atlantis Hotel. I had a great time by the pool and in the aquarium but apparently I kept mummy and daddy up all night with my snoring. Heehee! Mummy has also taken me to a new soft play area in a place called the Oasis Mall. I really like it there as they have a slide that I love to climb up. Of course there are stairs up to the top of the slide but I much prefer to climb up the actual slide. Often I get almost to the top and I slip and slide all the way down again. Its good fun! I also like the Little Tikes cars that they have and I like to climb in and get mummy to push me. I like sitting backwards best of all. Not sure why! I go the Mall with my friends Ella and Cora. They are both younger than me but I'm a bit scared of both of them. Mummy says I'm a bit of a wimp.

Next weekend we are going to stay in another hotel called the Jumeriah Beach Hotel. I'll probably keep mummy and daddy up again. Teehee!

See you all soon.
