Summer holidays!

Hurrah for warm weather and holiday fun. Thankfully Dom seems to be back to his full exceedingly cute, bouncy, mischief-making self after a couple of grisly days on Xmas and Boxing day.

Here are some photos of him playing with some of his Xmas toys yesterday.



Everyone wants a foam morning star to bash their enemies.



Dom's activity table was one of his presents that didn't even get to the wrapping paper stage. We wanted to put it together to check it out in advance and then he liked it too much to take it off him.

Today he managed to nick a near empty bottle of Matt's after-shaving aloe vera balm and gleefully carried it around before undoing the lid and squirting some of it on his chest. He now has a nice manly smell. I guess he considered that at one year old he is too sophisicated to go around smelling of baby lotion.

Here are some photos of him today wearing one of his birthday pressie tops.





He was a bit surprised when his reading was rudely interrupted by photo taking, but I really like the strange lean and slightly startled expression. This may lead to more surprise ambush photography from his mum...
