I Will Walk...

Here's a few pictures we shot of Olivia in our hallway at the weekend. She was just coming back with the shopping.

In actual fact, poor little Olivia was in the middle of a liquid poo and projectile vomit fest, though I don't think you can see it in these shots... Actually, poor us - we were the one's completely frazzled by the end of the weekend!

Perimeter Walk

Last week Olivia finally took the big leap and moved on from coasting around the furniture to walking across the room. In a few short days she is getting very cocky indeed with the whole thing and gets very cross if you try and put her in her play pen for a few minutes as she just wants to walk around all day.

Here she is playing with one of her cousins goal post cones - maybe a future in traffic control?



Here she is looking just too cute for words. She HATES having her hair in bunches so we haven't done it again but she looked so sweet!

Stand Straight

My Mum took Olivia to a coffee morning at a friend's house last week. Olivia was playing happily on the floor and my Mum was chatting away to her chums, glancing at Olivia now and again to make sure she was not up to no good. Mum turned around to get something out of the nappy bag and when she turned back Olivia was standing up and walking along holding on to the coffee table! Queue all the hot drinks being moved to higher surfaces.

This was the first time she had pulled herself to standing as previously she only coasted if we stood her up in her playpen. Just like her Mummy once she has done something once it becomes old hat and now she acts as if she has always done this and is getting very experienced indeed at pulling herself back to standing once she has fallen in her playpen (or The Play Penitentiary as it has come to be known :) . Of course she getting very cocky about standing up and coasting and is now covered in bruises so no doubt Social Services are on high alert...

She'll definitely be walking by Christmas so there goes the end of Mummy and Daddy's sanity...
