Nine Months Old!

Emma became 9 months old yesterday. To celebrate we went shopping in the MacArthurglen shopping centre in Swindon. Emma had a whale of a time making friends by blowing raspberries - and her new trick of waving at people.
Here she is about to leave:

Then admiring slippers in Next:

And some standing up and shouting in Shoon and Gap.

Followed by mad eyes in Asda on the way home!

This morning, Emma has helped me get a paper and even read it on the way back. As you can see the rain's been heavy today!

This dinosaur that rocks down the ramp was a present from Gillian, Brendon, Christopher & Robert. She had a go putting it back on the ramp but ended up on her bottom!

Here are some pictures taken since the last post. We had a night out with friends on Saturday night while Rob and Leila babysat. We got a lift home at midnight as neither of us were in a state to drive. I had a hang over from hell on Sunday. I made it out of bed at about midday - apart from giving Emma a 5am breakfast! We went for dinner at Rob and Leila's on Sunday evening. Rob had done a big beef stew with dumplings for Nanna's birthday. Here she is opening some presents and blowing out candles:

And some random pictures of Rob pulling faces which he may not thank me for....



Here is a tag from when Helen bought some more baby bodies. It took us ages to get the blood out of the carpet.

Rob and Leila visited Ikea and got a high chair for Emma that she likes.

Here are some pictures that Helen took during the week.


Nice raspberry face, Emma!

Here are some pictures from Monday when Leila and Helen went along the seafront to throw bread for the seagulls with Emma.
