Over the Moon

Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Lunar and my daddy has just created this site to help capture special moments in my life. I think my daddy is creating a bucket list of things he'd like me to do before the age of 11 and 3/4 (you can blame the National Trust for that) with the hope that I'll add challenges of my own as I grow older. At the moment, I am only 1 and 1/2 years old.

Here's a quick update on my life events / challenges to date:

I was born on the 3 February 2013. I weighed 6 lbs and 6 oz. Daddy says I was born at 6:45 a.m.

I read my first book at less than a month old. Mommy and daddy think I'm a quick learner. Daddy says I'll be a rocket scientist when I grow up.

I have worn lots of different hats since my birth. The first hat I wore though was at just a month old. I don't think it would fit me now!

I wonder if I'll travel to such great sites like Stone Henge? I haven't been to a stone circle yet. However, mummy and daddy took me to Belas Knap - this was an ancient burial chamber and my first pre-historic site visit!

It wasn't long before I went on my first holiday! Indeed, at just 3 months old, I went to the Cotswolds for a long weekend and stayed in a caravan!

I got my first taste of a real sea-side holiday when I was 4 months old. Mommy and daddy took me to Dorset. The photo below was taken on a Jurassic coast.

Despite only having a little palette, I love my food. I like sauces and flavours and both sweet and chili things. I had my first curry at just 8 months old.

My first Christmas was great. It was Christmas 2013 and I got to dress up as an elf. I think this was the first time I ever got dressed up.

In February 2014, I had my first birthday (not including the day I was actually born). Just like Christmas, I had lots of presents to open. I was very excited.

Better yet, I even had a birthday party. Can you guess how many candles were on my cake? (I had already been to a birthday party before my own).

Ice creams and the like are delicious. I just love mini-milks. I'm sure I had my first mini-milk during June 2014.

Daddy reckons this was the first time I 'properly' went into the sea. I had my toe dipped in the sea the year before but this time I paddled. I'm sure daddy will add a post when I take my first swim in the sea.

I completed my first National Trust challenge (#23) on 12 August 2014, aged 1 and 1/12 years old. Mommy and daddy took me to visit a farm. I saw lots of animals on this visit and even fed a lamb with a bottle of milk!

Daddy wants me to visit a farm again before he ticks this challenge off. He says this is because he wants all new challenges to be completed after this blog has been created. What is he like?! If you want to see how I get on with my (dad's) bucket list, challenges, adventures in life, etc - then please follow this blog and we'll keep you updated.

My daddy is 'over the moon' with all my achievements thus far.
