Whilst Maddie has clearly been enjoying practicing walking, all the bending down to hold her hand is back breaking work. So today she got an early birthday present of a baby walker which has been another instant hit. Not quite the back saving invention we hoped as for now at least, she hasn’t worked out…

Ok so I need to take some new photos but since we got back from Barbados Maddie has reached a couple of new milestones. Yesterday she stood unaided for about 10 secs much to her amusement. She is definitely getting more sure footed and confident. On a slightly scarier note Maddie has worked out how…

So one of the side effects of her new found mobility is the inevitable bumps, bruises and ensuing tears. Can’t fault her for persistence though, none of these injuries are putting her off her continued attempts to walk, climb and stand. Maddie has taken quite a liking to the ball pool at nursery so as…

So summer seems to be finally putting in an appearance and seeing how much Maddie seems to like swimming / bathtime a paddling pool seemed like a great idea. It even comes with a roof to keep her out of the sun. (hence the shadows and the hat) Not surprisingly Maddie loved it although as…

Maddie has made a complete recovery from her conjunctivitis which is a relief so she is now going back to nursery ready to collect another bug to infect us all with. I love this new dress although seeing her wearing it, she is becoming more like a little girl and less baby like each day.…

Ok so I was tempting fate with the happy and giggling comment before. We’ve had a rough few days. Maddie has been feverish and generally very grumpy. Not to mention the fact that she has thrown up all over me each of the last two nights so lets hope we don’t get a hat-trick this…

So my little girl is ill again, conjunctivitis for the second time and what looks like the start of another cold. I think it bothers us more than it bothers her. She’s been giggling and splashing in the bath like normal. Its been harder on Mette though as apparently it’s so contagious that Maddie can’t…

Ok so a week ago we got this rather phallic looking tower with stacking rings but all Maddie tried to do was chew them, until yesterday when she stacked the lot without any help at all. Today she was even using her foot to tilt the tower towards her – I’ve no idea if this…

So by now we are becoming experts at changing a nappy in a matter of seconds, a deft swipe with a nappy wipe, nappy on and away we go. Obviously this activity is normally preceded by a quick sniff of Maddie’s bottom to see if she needs changing. Today however was different, just as we…

Maddie seems to have recovered from her cold and the sun has come out so all in all things are looking up. Mette got these sunglasses today which only stayed on her face for about 1 sec at a time but look fabulous! She has also gone back to sleeping through the night but now…
