New Shoes?

Hope the wait is worth it, blog watchers, I'm giving you two weeks for the price of one! The last fortnight has been a good one. I (David) had two days off last week, and I'm having two days off this week too, using up some annual leave in a pleasant home based baby sitting and fettling way.

Last weekend we went to see my parents down at Wallmead and had a good old traditional roast lamb lunch, followed by lots of hide and seek in the garden with the kids which Emma enjoyed!

Last week was Valentine's Day and Helen cooked me a tasty Beef Wellington in the evening, then the next I'd booked for her to have some reflexology in Nailsea, so she went off and I looked after Emma, taking lots of photos of course! Emma's looking more and more relaxed on her front now - not quite crawling yet though.



The light's just right in these pictures to bring out her big blue eyes!

And here she is with a face smeared with food! Tigger joined us for this feed. I found some excellent bibs in Tchibo which have sleeves! Helen's managed to get feeding into a clean business now but when I do it it seems to end up smeared over baby, seat and walls! At least she's smiling....

On to today now. Emma REALLY enjoys standing and holding onto tables to support herself. She is steady enough now to supervise from a small distance. She does tend to get distracted and topple over occassionally though.

Here she is pulling her duck whilst standing. Click here for a video of her playing with the duck. I'm most impressed with the way she puts the egg onto it's back. (Having trouble with the video hosting, watch this space!)




Here she is playing peek-a-boo with Mummy. She'd just been laid in her cot after lunch but instead of having her normal nap, she flipped over onto her stomach for the first time on her cot and started calling us. She had no intention of sleeping at all despite all the eye rubbing she'd done during her jelly and custard pudding.

And here she is proudly displaying her size two and a half Clark shoes. Her first pair of properly fitted shoes!

Here she is using the clothes horse for support. She seems to be admiring my boxer shorts!




Until next time then folks, byeee!
