Tea at the Ritz

Today was time for a very civilized spot of tea. Both my Nannies and Grandads bought me an afternoon tea session at the Ritz Carlton. Here I am with my Peter Rabbit china.

As always, we also posed in front of their Christmas tree.

New Outfits

I've got a few new outfits this holiday. Three of my favourites are this Buzz Lightyear number from Uncle Chris...

Mickey Mouse from Grandad Dave...

and for some reason, I'm dressed as a cow.

Freddie's First Christmas Day!

Brilliant! It's the big day! I've opened some presents...

I've dressed up as Santa...

Uncle Chris & Auntie Cas took me for a stroll...

and the family had dinner. Yum!

Almost the Big Day!

I'm in Orlando now with the Bennett family. I'm really excited, so I've got my Santa pants on.

Early Christmas

We're going to be away from home for Christmas day, so we had an early ripping session over FaceTime with the Nicolsons in England. I was a very lucky boy and got lots of stuff, as you can probably tell from all the paper left over!

Christmas Party

Back in America now. Mummy & Daddy had arranged a Christmas party at our house for some of the other new parents in the area. Here I am with a few of the other babies by our big tree. Forgive the Christmas Pudding outfit I'm sporting... it wasn't my idea.

Meeting New People

I've met some more new people on my trip including Abby, my Uncle and Auntie Scott & Clair and some of Mummy & Daddy's friends.

Freddie in the UK

I'm back in England again for a week. I was taken shopping and got this fetching new cap.

Later I was taken to a party in Kent with my Nicolson family.

Big Boy Bed

Last week I moved into my own room. I love Mummy & Daddy, but I just need my own space sometimes, you know? That means I've been sleeping in my big boy bed, all decked out in Peter Rabbit bedding.

Christmas Tree Lighting

This afternoon, Mummy & Daddy took me on my first train ride. We were heading up to Union Square in San Francisco.

We were heading there to see Macy's 23rd Annual Christmas Tree lighting ceremony. There were gospel singers and Christmas carols, then Santa started a countdown and lit the tree. It was really busy, so we didn't have the best spot for our photo I'm afraid.

Freddie Meets Santa for the First Time

Look who I bumped into at the mall! Mummy & Daddy say Father Christmas is a guy I'm going to like and that I should stay on his good side.

Deep Bath

Mummy took me in the bath tonight, which always makes me smile. But it might have been a bit deep this time!

Home Shopping

Mummy was looking through some of the weekly sales and I was intrigued.

But I didn't find anything I liked, so went and had a wriggle on my jungle play mat that my Aunties Rachael & Lauren bought me.

Freddie Bear

It was a bit chilly out tonight so Mummy wrapped me up nice and warm in my Teddy Bear outfit.

Freddie the Model

Mummy signed me up for a photo shoot today and I think the photos came out very well, (even if I did throw up on myself part way through!) I'm sure there will be a Christmas gift or two out of these...

Bonfire on the Beach

This afternoon, Mummy & Daddy took me to the beach for the first time! Not only that, but it was a meetup of British expats that were celebrating Guy Fawkes night with a bonfire and some Guys to burn.

Halloween

Tonight we had lots of trick-or-treaters come knocking at the door, all dressed up as vampires, witches and super heroes. Mummy had made up some nice goody bags for them with sweets in. Daddy added in a free game from work too.

Mummy and Baby Group

Mummy took me to a Mummy & Baby group again today. It was nice to see my friends all dressed up in their Halloween outfits. I got another wear out of my jack-o-lantern suit.

Nanny says Goodbye

Today Nanny had to go back to England, so we had a teary goodbye at the airport. :(

Halloween Parade

It is almost Halloween and so there was a local parade for the children to show off their costumes and pick up a little candy. It was a beautiful day, so Mummy, Daddy and Nanny took me for a stroll in my jack-o-lantern outfit.

Travelling is Tiring

I'm back in the US now. Mummy, Nanny and Great Auntie Sandra came too. All that travelling was tiring, so I just chilled out at home in my dressing gown and Freddie-the-Frog slippers.

Freddie with Mummy, Nanny and Great Grandma

Today my Daddy's Best Man, James, and his new wife Rosslyn came over and said hello along with some more of Daddy's friends.

Later there was a photo with four generations of our family.

Nanny and Grandad Bennett

My other Nanny & Grandad came and said hello today and we all went out for a Chinese. I stuck to the milk.

Shopping in England

Today Great Auntie Lin took me for a stroll around Lakeside and I met Great Great Auntie Jean.

Meeting Lots of People

Today was a busy day. First I had breakfast with family that were at the wedding.

Next Mummy took me to Guildford to meet some of her friends.

Then when we got back to Nanny's house in Hornchurch, I met my Great Granny & Grandad, then my second Cousins Cassie & Cornelius.

Lisa and Dave's Wedding

Today was the big wedding and I met lots of people in my family. I also snuck into a photo with the happy couple.

Meeting Grandad

Grandad met us from the airport and drove us down to Worthing for a wedding tomorrow. I think he liked me in my frog shoes.

Flying to England

I had to say goodbye to Daddy for a while since Mummy was taking me back to England to meet the rest of my family. This flying lark is easy; I had plenty of room!

Cool Dude

Today Mummy and Auntie Rachael took me for a walk. It was sunny out, but they kindly let me borrow some sun glasses. I'm surprised the paparazzi didn't turn up, since I looked like a celebrity.

Comparing Feet

Auntie Rachael took a photo of my foot next to Daddy's. One day mine will be bigger than his, (maybe.)

More Shopping

Mummy just doesn't stop shopping! It gets very tiring...

Manicure

My nails seem to grow very quickly. Sometimes they scratch my face :( Auntie Rachael gave me a manicure to help with that and now I feel much better.

Little Olympian

Mummy and Rachael must like shopping. Today they took me for a stroll around Stanford Mall. I was wearing a rather fetching London Olympics outfit. Very patriotic.
