A busy summer

We have had a busy summer. Gareth has been amazing by getting up early and coming along, or taking Rebecca to her activities as I get to the end of my pregnancy. Rebecca is becoming a real little character. She is enjoying playing with other children and has developed a cheeky little laugh, that she mainly uses to charm her grandparents. Sher is getting more independent and likes to brush her teeth, change her baby, use a spoon and fork and she loves her new shoes.

We've had lots of visitors from around the world and have been down to London a couple of times. We have seen lots of Rosie and Finley and once the weather improved spent time outdoors in the parks and gardens nearby.

Rebecca was quite unwell with hand, foot and mouth disease. The one upside of this was that she stopped sucking her thumb completely after it blistered so badly. Looking back on the pictures I can see how poorly she was.

 At home:

Happy First Birthday!

 Opening presents.

 New blue cow, with favourite hippo.

 Not so happy about the birthday candle.

 Presents with Daddy.

 Loving her water tray from Granny.

 Raiding the cupboards - now they are locked much to Rebecca's annoyance.

 Trying to get a picture of us both together - not easy...

Being cute.

11 Months Old

 New car seat.

 Laughing after doing an enormous burp.

 

 Crazy dungarees.

 Cuddles with Mummy.

 Obsession with tea bags and boxes.

 

Daddy's medal.

Rebecca is now walking. Just in time for her first birthday. Unfortunately she has a bit of an upset stomach. Although she seems fine in herself it's creating a lot of nappies.

10 months old

Rebecca has now finished her swimming and baby sensory classes so I thought I would put on a few pictures. At ten months she was starting to pull herself up and found lots of new areas to explore. She's still am monkey with her eating as you can see from the expression she knows exactly what she wants!
