A New Bike Seat

A lot has happened since the last Blog entry. Emma's Great-Grandma Connie (known as 'G-G') is currently in hospital. She is now on the mend & back home soon we hope!

The big news with Emma this week is that she is starting to really master crawling. The pictures below were taken on Thursday. We spent the day in North Petherton with Emma's Great-Nanna, Great-Uncle Dave & Lisa, cousin Luke & Joey, their Golden Retriever.


The photos below were taken on Saturday when Emma's Gramma Leila popped around for a cuppa. Emma was showing how clever she has become by walking alone with her trolley. She has yet to master steering it, as she ended up bashing the tree with her trolley!

We really enjoyed the sun, and Emma is starting to wear her new sun hat - pictures, no doubt, will follow!!

After our coffee we all set off to the Clevedon Cottage Hospital to visit the 'G-G' (pictured above with her ladyship). Emma was really playing to the galleries, waving & blowing raspberries to the other patients & their visitors.
Becky & Rob (the future Mr & Mrs Armstrong as of 3rd August!) came around on Saturday night for a yummy chicken kebab & making a start on their wedding invitations.

This morning (Sunday) Becky came to collect her bike after church, so we decided to join her on a trip to Yatton. Emma seemed to enjoy the scenery & looks the business in her funky cycle helmet!

I would add that the cycle helmet has a very odd design. It depicts a collection of rabbits toiling in an underground mine to steal carrots. It looks like some sort of rabbit concentration camp!!

We cycled to Rob & Becky's pad in Yatton & enjoyed their garden. Emma enjoyed her lunch there, then had an after-dinner stone to compliment the meal. We attempted to get the stone out, but she swallowed too quickly! She seemed fine otherwise....

Emma enjoyed a little kip on the way back home.

Here's Emma Crawling! Click on the coloured writing to watch some video footage.

Mum & Dad Shallcross visited this afternoon after attending a retirement 'do' for an old friend in Winsford. Emma was on top form & enjoyed a trip out on the sea front in the Silver Cross Pram. We popped in to see Mum & Dad Coles on the way back home. Below Emma is showing her new skill in lifting her foot to clear steps!

She became hungry after all the excitements of the day, and was fed in Mum & Dad Coles' conservatory by Granny Shallcross!

We look forward to receiving some complimentary comments regarding the swiftness of this Blog. You know who this is directed at!!!
