Nurturing Emily

Since Tom has been on the scene Emily has started to develop her more nurturing side.
Baby is the flavour of the month and made use of her Mummies carry cot (that Nena made for me when she was a little girl) and also her Mummies pram. But as you can see she also start to feed her baby with the bottle that came with it. Cute

Tom and his hair

Do you think Tom would suit red hair?

Of course not but his hair is growing much better than Emily's ever did.

Visits

Whilst at home we got to visit friends and family.
This is Emily and her cousin (once removed) Annie enjoying was rest time with Peppa Pig.
Sorry no photos of Abi here but Emily had a great time with them both, on the slide, in their rooms and of course the trampoline!!and with Mummies school friends Carol...and Claire with her daughter Zara

Thanks everyone, hope to see you all again soon

Activities

Chatting with Papi was held regularly and of course use of the swing!!

Nonnie let Emily assist her with baking wheaten bread

and lots of cuddle time too

but the best time was reading time with Nonnie....

Portballintrae beach

It's a great beach to play around in....
although first Emily fell backwards...
then forward....but it didn't stop the fun continuing with her feet still missing in action

Cheeky Monkeys..

So good...I got to go twice...just loved their big slide although I wasn't so good at staying on my feet for long

The Boy

Flat caps are all the rage

How cool is our Nena?

Very!!

Golf practice

We asked Papi to show us how to play golf....result?

Daddy was OK but I think Emily has a natural swing...don't you?

Oh and Daddy had a tough time trying to get me with the air balls!!

Portstewart Strand

We had a great time with Daddy down at Portstewart Strand. Here I am drawing a picture of a plane in the sand (OK Daddy actually did it first)

and making sure Tom enjoyed our morning out also by pushing him along with Tabitha/Oscar's old pram

Trip to see Nonnie and Papi

We went to see Nonnie and Papi in September. Only pictures of the train journey but as you can see the kids were a little wary of the whole thing as we headed up to Gatwick

Morning play

Morning times are great for playing around...
In the bed....and with Daddy's shaver

New family game called 'Bed'

Emily loves to play 'bed'. All it involves if a blanket/muslin/rug and you get under it...simple. So here are some of the Janaways.. All of the Janaways, but Tom didn't realise one of the rules was to look at the camera

phew!!

and then just the boys. No 'girls' shot as Emily was tired of playing that game by this time

Visit to Worthing...to see Granny

Emily has found a new way to use the buggy board....on her bum rather than feet but that didn't matter to Tom as he slept either way

Emily enjoyed watching the sea underneath Worthing Pier

and showing off her celebrity sun glasses Granny bought her. Thanks again Granny for these

The architect at work

Put some bricks together and you can't help by praise yourself or do a little dance...

and all encouraged by Tom from the side..

Mat time with Tom

Sometimes we are waiting so long for Emily to get ready that poor Tom falls asleep on the mat but generally it is used for chatting and tummy time
