Noses

Today at Grandma and Grandpa's I made a discovery. I think God must have designed fingers especially for noses as mine fits up there perfectly.

My first week at nursery

I went to nursery this week for the first time. On Thursday and Friday I stayed all day and this is what I made. On my first day I did hand and foot painting and made this book so that mummy and daddy can read what I do each day. Yesterday I did a nice picture for mummy with crayons, and I made a poppy from card and tissue paper.

Beautiful walks and awsome views

Reflections on Ullswater












Thanks to Ivor, Bex, Molly, Jon, Hannah and Daniel for a lovely week. And to Chris who joined us for the weekend. Despite all being ill at some point (although Ivor waited until he got home) it was a great holiday and we look forward to enjoying many more.

Playtime and new moves

James had lots of nice playtimes with his friend Molly and cousin Daniel.
Here is James having a ride on a trundle courtesy of his surfer dude cousin, followed by a bit of cousinly loving. I wonder how long we will be blessed with magic moments such as these..










And here is Molly being treated to bathtime with the boys - looks like she is enjoying herself don't you think?

Here is James snuggled up in his winter woollies knitted by Nanna. It has been a week of progress for James. He has slept well, eaten well, learned to climb up and down stairs, and taken his first few steps aided with a baby walker.

Sunday lunch

After a delicious sunday lunch at Jon and Hannah's, we all went for a stroll up Gummers How ...actually, for Daniel and Chris it was more of a spin.

Happy Holidays

Well, things didn't start awfully well as James was sick the night before we were due to leave. However, determined not to miss out, he convinced his parents that nothing was wrong by smiling and bouncing up and down in his cot between vomits.








So we left as planned on Saturday for adventures in the lake district with Ivor, Bex and Molly.

The Bloom Of Autumn

Picking these Damsons up the farm at the weekend reminded me that the bloom on them against the colour of the fruit is probably my favourite autumn colour...lovely.
