Well it's been a while since I last wrote. Daddy (who helps me) says he's been quite tired recently and I think that may be something to do with Ernest. Yes, my new baby brother Ernest! He's certainly caused quite a stir around here. Just eight months old yet it feels like he's been around much longer. Now I can be cheeky, but Ernie has now got a baby walker and is taking things to new levels. He hurtles around the floor bashing in to us all. Then he grabs books and tissues from the shelves. Today he even started dismantling the dishwasher, wrenching a whole shelf on to the floor and pushing it towards the other side of the kitchen. Not only that, but he's a bit of a gourmet. As you know, I am going to be a chef when I'm grown-up (as well as a gardener and a vet), but Ernie is already eating food with lumps in, and enjoys trying strawberries and lumpy foods that Mummy cooks for him.

Mummy and Daddy think Ernie is funny because he falls asleep in their arms, something I never did. What is funny though is that he doesn't stay asleep for long. Now I can read I sometimes stay up late looking at my books, but I still sleep more than Ernest. He gave Mummy her worst birthday ever by staying up all night! Luckily I cheered her up by giving her my card with a butterfly on. That's the other thing I love doing now - drawing pictures. I'm quite versatile. I have pictures of Tom & Jerry, minibeasts, people and The Earth in my portfolio.

Anyway, must go as I'm just easing myself back in to things, and will try to be back with more very soon. Byeeeee xxxx
