Our trip to a lovely park not far from here - a little longer to walk to than expected but worth it.

We got a little lost in the park and had a stroll through the woods - Isabella loved it even if it did add on lots of walking time!

Off to investigate the crunchy leaves a little closer.

Checking the others were still coming.





And into the grass, may have taken a while but she loves it now!

Showing off what to do!







Then we got to the little farm....very unsure of what these creatures were - her farm book did not prepare her for reality!!!!

We saw the cows, and this was Isabella's face when she heard them moo and really spotted them!!!

She much preferred the chicks.

Not too sure of the horses either, even from such a distance.

Isabella's favourite thing at the moment is to put on Daddy's shoes!!! Really made me laugh when she tried to play football in them!

Trying on his trainers!








Putting on his shoes and then heading, very tentatively, into the living room to get the football.

Trying to kick the ball and stood on it instead!

 Although I missed every single kick, I got the gist on camera...she did actually kick the ball quite a few times too and was very pleased with herself!

I do apologise for not adding anything recently - I though I had put these ones on already! These are from the summer at Emily's house. We had a lovely and very busy summer, but for some strange reason not many photos were taken!

Isabella really enjoyed the garden. She'd run up and down, preferably through the crunchy leaves.....

then into the house and around the kitchen table and back out again....





a quick pit-stop on the garden chair - she was very proud she got up there all by herself....

didn't appreciate Mummy holding onto the chair.....
then a quick play on the fencing....

and then back running up the garden before crashing into Mummy with a huge smile! And then repeated for a very long time....kept her busy!

It may have taken a while to warm up to Emily in the house...but the bonding in the park was priceless, especially when she realised there wasn't really a limit on the number of times Emily was willing to put her on the slide!!!

Our trip out to the London Sea Life Aquarium....which she LOVED!!!!! Even if the best part was just actually being out of the pushchair and able to run around, she did still stop at all of the tank windows to look at what was inside.

Happiness and mesmerising.

This giant sting ray was playing peek-a-boo with her - and she did even say "boo" when it popped up again!!!

Trying to get as close as possible.

Trying to grab the small shark as it swam past.

Standing on tiptoes for a better view!

She also loved being able to climb up onto all the steps they had around each tank so she could get evin closer!
