Lion Tamer

Check Isla out only 9 months old and riding on the back of a ferocious lion!! She really is on the move now and can support herself really well. She loves this rocking lion that Paul & Laura bought her for Christmas. She has so many toys now she stuggles to play with them all.

Isla has started to crawl now too and can scoot from one end of the room to the other. You have to have eyes in your backside. We have had a couple of minor injuries where she has banged her head. When she cries she holds her breath for ages before letting out a scream, you shouldn't laugh but it is funny!

Being a parent is such an adventure, you can't beleive how much they pick up. Isla can now clap her hands, wave and touch her ear on request. Do you think that she is going to be talented?!

Happy New Year

We didn't so much on New Years Eve in fact I was in bed for 11 and only got up with Isla to watch all the fireworks that were going off all around.

New Year meant back to work for me and all of us into a new routine. Isla stays with Daddy for 2 days and goes to Helen's for the other.

I miss Isla when I go to work but we catch up on a night and play together. Shw does something new everyday and we can't help but marvel at how special she is.

As you can see Isla is really growing up now and we think she is the most beautiful thing we have ever seen. On my days off we go to the baby cafe and meet up with some other mums an babies. We have made a few friends now and have our own little social circle.

Daddy has been busy at work, he is now fully qualified as Crew Manager and both me & Isla are vey proud of him. Still lots to do inthe house, we have 8 new doors waiting to be put up but don't seem to have the time to do it. Isla always wants to play.
We are loving family life and our little routine suits us fine. Our recent trips out have included the swimming baths and Wetherby, I really must remember to start taking the camera so you can see what we are up to!!

Christmas Day

Isla's first Christmas and to celebrate she had her baby's first Christmas bib sent by Granny & Grandad Chambers. I hope Grandad Oldfield hasn't slipped any whiskey into Isla's drink. What a clever girl she is holding her own cup now and feeding herself.


Nana helped make it a special Christmas too, apart form spoiling Isla with lots of presents she made a wonderful table decoration for us to enjoy, it made our Christmas table look very festive. Good to see the night school classes weren't wasted.




















Isla got loads of presents and enjoyed tearing the wrapping paper off. Nana & grandad Williams were there to assist. She loved her new baby walker that Mummy & Daddy bought her, there are loads of different buttons to press and it sings and talks to you. I think it may get on the grown ups nerves before too long. We had a lovely first family Christmas, even though we missed the family that couldn't be there.

Looking forward to an exciting 2007, love to all!
