About Harlow London Stanley

With a lot of help from my mummy, I am writing this blog to help my friends and family stay in touch with me when we move to London in a few weeks. I am going to miss everyone and I am not very good at writing emails and I can't talk yet, so skype can be difficult. So we thought this would be the most fun way for everyone to see what I am up to. At the moment I am almost 6 months old so there are few big milestones ahead of me, teeth, crawling, walking and talking are just a few that I hope to master this year. All of my family will be home in Australia and will miss these amazing moments, so I promise to post them with pictures, videos and little diary entries as soon as they happen.

Best bits 2013

Video

The most entertaining part of my blog, the annual video you have all been waiting for is finally ready!!!

Welcome to my best bits of 2013. I had a brilliant year – I went skiing, I started nursery, I got a new sister and went on a summer holiday and made some new friends. These are just a few of my favourite parts of 2013, I hope my video gives you a little insight of how I spent the year and how much fun I had. I hope you have fun watching it.

I am off to Australia in two weeks – with a summer holiday to start the year it looks like 2014 is going to be as much fun as 2013, if not better!! Can’t wait to see all my friends, family and fans. See you all soon.

Dear Santa

Standard

Mummy helped me write a letter to Santa the other day. I wrote to him telling him if I made the good list there are a few things I would like. We stuck the letter in an envelope, addressed to the North Pole and then we walked up the street and put it in the big red letter box. I can’t wait for Santa to read it.

This year I asked him for:
Balloons
Chocolate
Guitar
Camera
Disney outfits
Puzzles
Books
Winter clothes
Summer clothes – for my holiday in Australia
Toys

I know it looks like I asked for a lot but to be honest I just wanted to ask for chocolate but mummy said that I should give him some more options…

What did you put on your xmas list this year?

Ophelia is crawling

Video

My sister Ophelia is 7 months old. When I was 7 months we had already moved to London and I was sitting up on my own and to get around I would roll. But my sister is so clever not only is she is sitting up really straight and rolls around in every direction she is saying ‘Mama’ planking and best of all crawling!

Mummy said it took me a bit longer to crawl, I was over 8 months old…. Ophelia started crawling two weeks ago already!

Here is a little video of my clever little crawling sister.

Halloween 2013

Oops this blog is about a month and a half over due…. Halloween flashback

I know Halloween has been and gone weeks ago but we have been a bit quiet on the blogs lately so I have a little bit of catching up to do. This year mummy didn’t go overboard and buy us outrageous costumes, we kept it simple. We made some Jack’o’lanterns and put them out the front, we hung a glow in the dark skeleton and bought lots of lollies in case we had some trick or treaters knock on our door.

I had never gone trick or treating before but at nursery they decided to take us out in our Halloween costumes. It was fun knocking on the doors around in and around our street and yelling ‘Trick or Treat’! I worked out that you got more lollies from the homes that had jack’o’lanterns out the front.

When mummy picked me up from nursery we knocked on a few more doors on our way home. I have never seen so many lollies. The other part of Halloween I enjoyed was when kids knocked on our front door and I gave them lollies. There were so many scary outfits – skeletons, pirates, ghosts and witches. For weeks mummy and I talked about dressing me up as the big bad wolf and we were going to put Ophelia in a piggy outfit – The three little pigs is my favourite book at the moment. However we couldn’t find a cool wolf outfit so I dressed up as the Halloween fairy.

What did you dress up as for Halloween?

Christmas Wishlists

Standard

One month till Christmas – how time flies!! Have you started your Christmas shopping? Mummy said she has bought a few things already (I am not sure I believe her, she always leaves everything to the last minute).

The reason I know Christmas is just around the corner is because the days are really short now, all the Christmas lights are up, people are always walking around with lots of shopping bags and all the Christmas grotto’s are starting to open up at all my favourite places – Hyde Park, Kew Gardens, Westfields etc.

Last week mummy helped me write a letter to Santa and next week we are making a Christmas cake. She has never made one before so it could go either way!

Last year we had Omi and Poppy here to celebrate with, we had a huge tree in the middle of the lounge room which daddy decorated and we ate a massive Christmas feast. This year its just the four of us but I think Mummy still has a few surprises up her sleeve.

I can’t wait to buy the Christmas tree and decorate it with my little sister – this will be her first Christmas.

Have you been good this year? What will santa bring you?

Mummy has helped me put together some wishlists for my family in Australia and an extra reminder for Santa. At the moment there are lots of things I am into and really enjoy playing with. So here are a few of my favourite things:
Imaginative play -dressing up in fancy dress
Jewllery
Playing with dolls houses/fairies etc
Board games (Orchard Toys)
My favourite characters are Hello Kitty or Peppa Pig
Music and dancing – especially playing the guitar
Taking photos
Reading books -Julia Donaldson are my favouites.
Converse Shoes (white high tops)
As it is getting colder I also would love some new winter clothes and shoes.

Ophelia is still so small and she has inherited most of my toys but I think she still needs a few more. Mummy has included toys for her in my wishlists on the links below. She is sitting, wiggling and rolling her way around the house- almost crawling so any toys to help promote that will be nice. The next step for her will be standing and walking so toys that get her moving, standing or bouncing will be lots of fun for her aswell. She is also sitting up in the bath – so some new bath toys (which will benefit me too! haha).
