Jimbo on babysitting duty

I left Jim to his own devices for the weekend and went off to London for a girly weekend with Kate and Dee. He managed to have lots of fun without me:-( Tried out Dawn and Craigs Taga bike which looked like lots of fun and took Em out for coffee. She came through the weekend unscathed other than slightly sunburnt legs - naughty daddy forgot to put cream on them. Feeding is coming along she will now hold the spoon or fork herself and eat off it as long as its loaded for her. Maybe we will have it conquered by the time number two arrives!

New Forest

Had a fab weekend with the girls while the boys camped in the new forest. Thankfully the best weekends weather so far in the last month or so. We visited them daily with supplies but definately chose the more sensible option. Ollie loved his first ever camping experience and maybe next time we may join them, but then again maybe not.

Feeding Joy

This month has so far been all about food. My quest to get Emily feeding herself with a spoon and Emilys determination not to make life that easy! We are starting to get somewhere after a good couple of weeks of spoon throwing, making more mess than i thought possible and grumpiness. We also bought a new easy clean highchair to calm my nerves. Emily will pretend to feed with a spoon but wo betide if i try and help or load a spoon of food for her. After persevering, she is just starting to at least try and get some food on the spoon herself and seems to take a fork being loaded a bit better than a spoon. Anyway we will keep the blog updated with progress.
