Gwen is 10 months old today

My word, I know everyone says it, but it really does go so fast!! To mark the occasion we went to Whizz Kidz up at the industrial estate. From the outside it looks like a...well an industrial unit, and inside it's got a cafe and kids ball pools and climbing things in bright colours. Gwen was a bit wimpy about it all, but maybe she'll get more confident if we try again. We went with her friend Izzy and Mum Vicki. We both hope the girls will be great friends when they are older, living so close and going to same school and all. Time shall tell. 

In the afternoon I took Gwen and mum shopping to Torquay as I had to drop a gift off to a friend anyway.( I have been hand making all my gifts this year to save pennies. )

Here she is in her big girl seat, fast asleep while we sat waiting for Nanna to get some dog food in Paignton. There's a mirror in front of her to keep her amused - ish! 

Torquay was rather busy, Gwen slept all the way there, was nice and quiet all the way round the shops but on the way back she had had enough of being strapped in and cried all the way home. It's horrible driving with her crying. Felt tired and icky, driving in the dark, stop start on the way back in traffic,and her screaming!  Told myself not to go shopping with her again. She needs to get out and play around in between, so Internet shopping it is then!
