Twenty five weeks in


















This week we have:

- stepped things up a pace. Although pretty much house bound all week with a bad cold, this little bean has not stopped. Speed crawling, climbing for the first time, standing for the first time, unsuccessful walking attempts, climbing again and again, bashed heads, bashed knees, scratched limbs. Frustrating and knackering (for both her and me). But amazing. My baby has grown up a lot this week.

- ventured out of the house briefly to make a couple of trips to the park to indulge the little beans latest passion. Dog spotting. This girl takes after her Ma with her love of canines. Any dog we come across is greeted with one pointing hand, one waving hand and a constant stream of "Hi, hi, hi, hiya, hi, hiya, hi, hi, hiya, hi, hi, hi, hi........." until the owner brings it over to meet her. God help it if she gets her hands on it.....

- been surprisingly excited to see the Olympic torch relay pass the top of our road. I unexpectedly found the experience really emotional, watching from the side of the road, just me and my girl, baby in one arm, camera in the other....

A selection of pics of the bean's adventures around the house, the first rose in our new garden, the bean's new chair, flowers to make me feel better, the bean sabotaging Daddy's beer, nachos and Euro 2012 night, trips to the park and the passing Olympic torch.
