Hello everyone, Just a really quick mention - there hasn't been anything on the blog for a couple of weeks for 2 reasons. 1. I've been really busy; and 2. there appears to be some technical problem at the moment!! So bear with me whilst I sort it out and then hopefully get it all up and running and continuing like normal!!!

Setting us up well for the future I believe!!! Isabella absolutely LOVES books and really gets involved by turning the pages, feeling the feely bits and pushing any buttons. I do believe that bedtime stories every night are paying off as you can see here - although we got a little too close at times!!!

Gotcha!!!

Going to make a run for it!

But changing our minds to settle down with Daddy for a quick flick through a book.

Staying with Aunty Emily in London.
We had a lovely weekend staying with Emily, although we failed to take any photos other than these for some reason - not entirely certain why!! Anyway, Isabella had a bath and then Aunty Emily used the hairdryer to dry her hair and this was the result! A touch of styling ending in a rather alarming hairstyle with a LOT of volume, a flat sort of v-shape cut into the side/top and hardly a curl in sight!!!! It didn't last very long though!!!!!

So grown up now!

Eating her toast all by herself, and believe me she eats every last crumb!

Giving herself her own bottle!







And about to explode form all the food and milk she's just had!!!

Playing with Daddy!!!

Having a proper giggle as well!!

Having a great time using the box as a hat, she got very upset when we eventually took it off her head as well!!! Let's face it - who doesn't love a box hat?!

All ready for winter in her new hat.

Could not resist this cute little hat (with matching gloves!) and she really is just adorable in it! It may be a little big, and it may not quite be cold enough for it....but we are ready for the cold weather when it arrives!!

Christine (Isabella's childminder) gave me 'Isabella's book' to have a look at, so I took a picture of all the photos and craft she had in there!!! Here's all the exciting things Isabella gets up to when she goes there. (Some pictures look a little odd as I had to try and take a photo of a photo without getting a massive white bit from the flash!!) But as you can see she has a great time there with lots of things to entertain her with....home must seem very boring to her now!!!

 

Just because I'm gorgeous!

I needed one photo of her smiling and looking fabulous looking at the camera...really wasn't easy! We got the smile no problem, but it was usually moving or off to the side, so it took a few snaps to get the perfect shot....and then I ended up using the second one anyway!!! And just because she's adorable I thought I'd share some of them with you!

I was trying to be sneaky and catch her playing.....only managed the one shot and then she was ready for the camera - still didn't stop me though!!

Playing with the bead threader until Mummy interrupted the concentration.

It does look a little like she is doing some weird kind of sign language no-one knows about!
Genius....or just odd?!

Being cheeky with her tongue, then pretending to be on the phone!





On the run to get to Mummy super fast....and then we got a touch too close - we haven't found the brakes yet!!

Having another cheeky moment and then a quick play!

And my absolute favourite of the day, a proper squealing giggle in just pure excitement at the fact that Mummy is, once again, armed with the camera and on the floor, and boy did she go on for quite some time!! I'm obviously funnier than I realised!
