My Mummy has now been my Mummy for seven and a half and a bit months. It's time I updated my ratings of her performance as a Mummy.
Availability: 5/10
Mummy is beginning to learn that it's no good trying to leave me anywhere by myself for very long; I can lean and reach things quite far away now, and if she wanders off, all I have to do is grab something small and bring it to my mouth and she races back again. I am working on being able to crawl so that I can chase her, but by then I might have her so well trained that I won't need to. She is spending quite a lot of money on wraps to carry me on her back, all in different pretty colours. Although this is silly behaviour (I really don't mind what the thing looks like!) I encourage it because the more expensive the wrap, the longer she will have to use it in order to get away without a guilty conscience. Her newest one should keep us going for at least another year.
Food: 8/10
At last, Mummy let me eat what she eats! She gave me my first food about two months ago. I can eat anything now, so long as it is not so small and pesky that I can't get hold of it. I never realised that food could be so much fun! Everybody else is so boring when it comes to eating! I like to rub mine into my hair, see how much of it I can hide under my chin, drop pieces inside my babygrow to save for later (especially fun in those onesies with feet) and use it to paint the kitchen alternative colours.
I have to say, though, that Mummy does not quite reach full marks on this one, because I have noticed that what she serves has become quite samey. I'm sure she has repeated several meals more than once, and she seems to show a dislike for anything sticky or brightly coloured. Odd, because those foods would be the most fun to play with.
Physical Care: 3/10
I still have no clothes. Sometimes Mummy leaves me in a sleepsuit all day - it's not dignified. I've also spotted her putting me in outgrown stuff from my sister. Someone needs to let her know that's not on. I don't care if Abigail did wear a lot of blue; if it has puff sleeves, it's not for boys!
Environment: 7/10
We've been getting out and about a bit recently. I like that - different things to look at. We visited Nanou and Papy, so I had a whole new house to explore. Can't say they let me explore it much. Can't say I agree with Nanou that knitting needles make bad teethers. For a while I thought Mummy had really got the hang of improving things at home, because she brought in an enormous tree and covered it in flashy lights, but then only a few weeks later she took it away again. Odd.
Entertainment Value: 10/10
I live in a family of stand-up comedians, but Mummy is the funniest. You should see her doing the Groovy Moves from Show Me Show Me when she thinks no-one's watching.

Groovy moves is often my main form of exercise!
