Teeth, Donkeys and Racing Grannies.

Lets start with teeth! Emma now has four teeth showing. The first one is pretty much all the way out. She only has one at the bottom but already she's finding certain foods a bit easier.

Here's our Helsy with a donkey.



They lined up nicely waiting for carrots!


We walked up Wain's Hill to catch the last of the sun's rays as it set.

Here's some of Emma's finger-painting that I scanned in.



Emma hasn't been on top form just recently with teeth coming through and a nasty cough and cold. This ice lolly before bed revived her spirits and number her gums.

And she always enjoys a bath. Mummy enjoyed this one as well when styling Emma's hair.



These next photos are from today. We got out the granny racing set that I was given for christmas last year by brother John (I think.) Emma thought it was hilarious!

But then couldn't work out why they wouldn't go round when she sat like this...

Daddy had a go at changing the batteries to see whether he could get both lanes working. Of course, Emma then wanted to change the batteries too...

Puddles, hats - and when the two meet...

These photos were taken back on the 12th January. We went for a walk out from Rob and Becky's house in Yatton along a path leading to a farm.



Emma loves jumping in puddles!

Rob loves Emma's hat.

Emma enjoyed saying Moo! to these cows.

On the way back it was getting dark and Emma was getting tired so Uncle Rob gave her a lift.

She gave Daddy a "high five!"



Then disaster struck and Daddy accidentally knocked her hat off into a rhyne.


We couldn't find a stick long enough.


However, by forming a human chain,

and lowering Daddy into the water,

The hat was retrieved. Phew!

January Goings On

We spent last weekend at Wallmead Farm. Here is Emma in the playground at Tisbury having a great time with Daddy.



Here is Emma in the bath after stealing Daddy's glasses.


We had a great night out on the saturday night. We met up with friends for a fab meal & drinks. Granny & Grandad looked after Emma whilst Mummy & Daddy painted the town red. The less said about the tequilas the better!! We stayed over at John & Helen's new pad saturday night & had a fantastic roast with Jenny & Martin there as well

Before Emma turned up, Timmy and I managed to play a game of Warhammer. His Imperial Knights narrowly beat my Chaos Knights in a decisive encounter sending my whole army into flight resulting a humiliating defeat for me.

Here is Tim's general in more detail. His cousin Stephen painted this particular one.

Emma enjoyed smelling the flowers in Helen and John's conservatory.


And she particularly enjoyed the pudding after the meltingly tender roast lamb.

Above she in sitting in the car tapping the glass underneath the cat.

Back at the farm, we walked around the calf sheds and saw this calf that had just be born. It's umbilical cord is still showing.

She loved Granny's pens.


And Granny's toys...

And Granny's jelly. After lunch we drove into Tisbury for some shopping then walked along stubbles where the most friendly ducks live.

This one was eating out of our hands. Emma was quite brave, but didn't let them touch her.




Here's Emma, totally surrounded by ducks!



Here are some pictures of Emma playing on the bed.
