August 2012

As you can see, here is Gwen sort of sitting up. It's only a matter of seconds but still it's a start! Here she is playing a keyboard thing, a car boot bargain! 

Up at Berry Head, searching for twigs for my fairy furniture, we spotted these cows in the shade. I love cows, I'm glad I don't eat them. 

Gwen is eating more food now, she always grabs the spoon from me with surprising strength! Her aim is pretty poor and she usually ends up with it all over her eyebrows. 

Cheeky grin.

She has recently started poking her tongue out a little bit and leaving it there, very strange but quite cute. 

Iris' birthday

We went up to stay in Somerset as it was Iris' 6th birthday party.

Here is my sis' huge back garden, please note ample sized allotment type vegetable garden at the far end! (this alone is a similar size as our garden) there were 3 chickens wandering around but didn't catch them in the photos

The garden from the other end, the house and the village church behind it

Gwen in her party dress waiting for the guests to arrive with her Nanna

Mum and Dad came to Kingswear to watch Chris play. 

I had to change her nappy in the back of the car, this is her in the boot

While the deck was being built, Chris sat in the garden with G having one of my home made lollies!

Bruce, who was in a funny mood today - very clingy and not eating. 

Gwen ready for swimming having watched the olympics! We went on a swim date with Isabelle who is 3 weeks older than Gwen and lives just around the corner

Here's a few recent pics, Gwen at 5 1/2 months

Here she is at Nannas, on the floor, practising her rolling over.

Very strong on her tummy.

A trip to Astley park with Chris' workmate and daughter -  They wanted to buy a kite and Chris suggested they try his first. My local swimming pool in the background.

This is the £2 pushchair my mum got from the carboot, - bargain! She likes it. 

Here she is meeting her new friend, Ashleigh.

Tim and Chris flying the kite.

The hat that never fitted before, it does now! 

 Pulling one of her funny faces!

A sunny day out in the garden (under the umbrella) Wearing one of her new dribble bibs. The girl really does dribble!
