New garden pergola thing

Chris is getting busy in the garden. Sunny here, it wasn't in Paignton today as I went to get my hair done, it was raining in fact. But sunny all day in Brixham so Gwen has had lots of garden time!

Here it is in it's early stages

Here with the side bed all finished 

Chris did the edges with a jigsaw, his dad didn't believe he had really done it himself and I had to tell him as he wouldn't believe Chris. 

Izzy and Vicki came to visit, Gwen kept eating mud but Izzy didn't! Oh dear what have we got on our hands!

It's nearly done now, so picture of flower bed- kind of a before and when all in bloom i'll update. You can see the potatoes growing in background.

New lounge

Today the carpet is going down! At last!!!

Gwens funny feet

We now have an appointment to see consultant about Gwens feet. They are all over the place and roll in quite badly. Poor thing, but at least she doesn't know any different.

We got her some shoes from ebay, supportive 'piedro' ankle boots and after a few days of wearing them on and off she took a few steps so maybe they are helping..

Our funny little girl

Gwendo's general wake up time seems to be 5.30am. I do hope this gets later!

We've had a few play dates with Izzy and the weather was lovely last week so we sat in the garden - pics below.

Gwens free standing hasn't happened much since, only 1 time in my watch for about 10 seconds while eating a biscuit. And in other news......I've just got over a nasty cold that left me with no taste or smell for well over a week.

Nice day in the garden

Pictures include, reversing off the deck- very health and safety conscious! Stealing my glasses, sitting by the fairy waterfall. Helping dad in the shed. Oh such a difference when it's sunny! Oh and the lounge is being decorated too by us!

Stood up on her own- woohoo

She did that today, so cool!!

Been a busy few weeks

I haven't written a decent blog for ages as I've been so busy, putting on the first big show and then Gwen takes up a lot more time these days and when she doesn't sleep you don't get all that much admin done which is important when you run your own classes. Promotional ideas are also needed! My brain has had enough most of the time when it comes to writing other things.

Gwen has come on loads lately, she can clap her hands on request and  touches her head when you ask her, touch her nose is not 100% there!

She has just had a sickness bug and it was down to poor Chris to look after there as I was doing my 3 day pirate workshop. She ate a little today after 2 days of not eating or keeping anything down.
bless her Chris sent me some great pictures of her when I was at work (although not very well)

She was sleeping better, as in getting to sleep better and not waking in middle of night, but starts her day at 5,30am more often than not. She falls asleep again a couple of hours later so it;s pretty knackering

A visit from Ivy, Mike Taylor and wife Shelley came to visit us. Ivy is 3 months younger but made Gwen look diddy. I guess she will be tiny with us as parents. She's got a gorgous smile. For some reason Gwen has her eyes closed in all of them. please note the first hairband in hair!! it;s getting a bit long now!

Gwen showing Ivy how to play with her toy.

A very rare sunny day in April and  we went outside. she played with the washing up bowl and  some water. Chased the cat down the garden.

 Gwen went to Williams 3rd birthday party on a sunny (but not that hot)  saturday. Such an amazing house and  they had a bouncy castle in front garden!

Gwen makes us laugh by reversing to get off the sofa, very health and  safety conscious but she also does it off very low ledges like the one in the picture on to the grass. 

Woofy hair!

 Its hard to get her to look at you for a picture these days, she just launches at you and the picture is all fuzzy.

Chasing cat as mentioned above.

A funny smile from the bath. She's such a jolly thing

Chris gave up the tyres a few weeks ago and it has made a difference being able to share the baby duties, I get a bit of time to myself which has been quite liberating. Mums hip is playing up so until she has her hip replaced she wasn't sure she would be able to look after her all that much on a tuesday so great timing all round!
