My first time on a swing

On Monday Daddy took me to the doctors to fix my yukky eyes. We met Dawn and my friend Henry in town and went to the swings. I loved the swings almost as much as my Daddy!!!

Mothers Day

My first Mothers Day was without Mummy and spent with Daddy and my Granny and Grandad (Maltby) - more than adequate replacements for Mummy! We went for a walk and spent the day enjoying the sunshine - having lunch outside. Granny and Grandad kept me amused, so I performed for them - smiles and clapping (my newly aquired skill).

First trip to Spain

I made a brave dash across to Spain unaccompanied with the little one at the beginning of March, we had a fab time for two days until illness struck and two visits to the doctor, two days of extra holiday due to inability to fly and one course of antibiotics later we got back, me exhausted Emily looking right as rain and ready to go....

Wilfull and grumpy

The last few weeks have shown a different side of our sunny little munchkin, a refusal to drink anything making our lives a torment. A familiar pursed lip expression showing a determination that unfortunately she has probably inherited from me. We are now experts at how much formula you can get into weetabix and just about any foodstuff. Things seem to be looking up now and we are back to at least some bottle so hoping it was just some teething grumpiness and not the start of joyous behavioural nightmare...

Meeting the twins

Emily met the new additions to the Maltby family this weekend: "the Twins" Lilly and Evy. They are adorable and both the twins and their parents are doing very well. [Picture 1 (left to right): Lilly, Emily and Evy].

Hearing all clear - yippee!

Audiology review this morning was all clear, Em tested normal in the distraction test, lady making silly noises to distract her from toys, and also had no congestion in either ear apparently unusual for a kiddy with DS. So all smiles for Mummy today. She gets reviewed again in 12 months.

All smiles

Feb seems to be the month of smiles so far, Emily here with the girls. Glad January ended after a week of catastrophies ending with flat tyres on the A3 and nasty nursery closing for the day unannounced and Lia saving the day by looking after Emily.
