For some reason I have once again been allowed to upload photos - maybe they're feeling the Christmas and new year spirit!! Well, whatever the reason I hope it lasts! here are a few pre-Christmas snaps for you all, and apologies for the long absence!

Some cuddles with Grandma on her visit at the beginning of December.

Shouting at the reflection of the baby on the oven..then she realises it's her!

Playing/investigating under her high-chair...someone has to do it, she's probably also clearing up any food she threw over the edge earlier!!!

And putting up the Christmas tree. It was only pulled down once which is remarkable as I thought we'd have a battle on our hands, but clearly once was enough!

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?!
