8 months old and on the move!!



Emily turned 8 months old at the weekend and pretty much started crawling properly the same day. She has been close for a while but now she is all over the place and just loves getting into all of Oliver's toys!! Her favourite thing to do is break apart his train track which doesn't go down too well :) She is very proud of herself of course and now we have to have eyes everywhere!! And we have to follow her around with a muslin cloth. She still pukes - A LOT - and you never know when or where you are going to find it. Safe to say we will be needing new carpets in this house when she's all done with that.

We had our first decent snowstorm the weekend before last. Oliver's face was a picture when I opened his blind and he looked outside!! He was so excited and the association between snow and Christmas is quite amazing :) He went outside and played in the snow with Daddy while I took Emily swimming and had a blast! Since then we have had freezing rain and more snow is coming tomorrow I think. And it's very, very cold!!

Speaking of Christmas, we now can't go into any shops without looking at all the Christmas things - two or maybe three times. Oliver is fascinated by all the lights! And of course there is lots of talk about Santa and how he expects all the children to be good :)

This weekend is Thanksgiving and Grandma Colleen is coming to visit. Hopefully the expected snow doesn't cause her any delays. I think Oliver is excited to make a trip to the airport to meet her :)


Still at the practising stage of crawling!

"Go outside Mummy???". Ha ha!! Oliver loves to play outside in the snow - his favourite thing by far at school

And coming up to our house

Yeah, I can stand (with help) - so what??!!

Butter wouldn't melt in Little Miss Crabby's mouth :)

Posing together - this is a good time as both of them like having their pictures taken!!

Bath time!

Don't think I'm cruel and make Emily sleep in just her nappy - I had just taken her PJs off to throw in the washing machine and I thought she looked all chubby and cute ;)

Oliver likes to go crawling with Emily!
