It feels like such a milestone and I can’t believe how ridiculously excited I have been about it! Needless to say, much more so than her as she pretty much has no idea anything is going on! We had a small party with Leigh’s family yesterday ... http://www.ovaltine.co.uk/firsttimeforeverything/index.php/archives/56 Mover & Shaker! She is getting very fast now on her walker and can negotiate bends with ease! Today we also had her first solo steps, walking a tiny distance between us, but walking none the less! I’m not sure if our praise & clapping has helped encourage her or scared ... http://www.ovaltine.co.uk/firsttimeforeverything/index.php/archives/55 Friend to stay We looked after one of our friends little girls today and she is two weeks younger than Imogen. We met them after swimming so took her home in our car and it was very weird to see two babies in the back of the car! Thankfully Leigh was ... http://www.ovaltine.co.uk/firsttimeforeverything/index.php/archives/54 Pearshaped! Imogen has been at the new nursery for a while now and seems to love it. But I’m now finding the adjustment hard! It’s closer to home, which is great, but that means it’s further from work and it is a good hour between the two in rush hour, which ... http://www.ovaltine.co.uk/firsttimeforeverything/index.php/archives/53 Book Party We had a baby book party today and had ten other mum’s with babies all around Imogen’s age at the house and it was really good fun! We have a largish lounge & diner, but it’s amazing how small any room is with that number of babies! Especially now ... http://www.ovaltine.co.uk/firsttimeforeverything/index.php/archives/52 New Nursery 2 Well, we started the new nursery today and she seemed to love it! Very happy when I collected her, although very messy! She had a walk down to the lake, had cornflake play, singing and also clingfilm painting – as well as naps & food, the people who ... http://www.ovaltine.co.uk/firsttimeforeverything/index.php/archives/51 New Nursery Well, the place has come through at the new nursery and after lots of discussions about whether it was right to move her now she is settled, we decided to take it and today was her last day at the old nursery. The new one is fab as it ... http://www.ovaltine.co.uk/firsttimeforeverything/index.php/archives/50 Bad day! We had a bad day today! After weeks of really blossoming and becoming a very happy, smiley baby who laughs a lot, over the past week Imogen has become much more clingy, getting upset and whining at the least little thing. Especially after the hairy McClairy story each night ... http://www.ovaltine.co.uk/firsttimeforeverything/index.php/archives/49 Big Girls Seat We now have a front facing car seat – I can’t believe how excited we have been about that, it used to be parties or concerts that we looked forward to! We spent ages researching on the internet and deciding which one we wanted – the lovely swivel ... http://www.ovaltine.co.uk/firsttimeforeverything/index.php/archives/48 Hurrah! At last we’ve been able to buy proper shoes for Imogen! Since she has been standing and also learning to sit again we have been trying to get her some shoes. We’ve been to Clarks about 5 times over about 6 weeks, but whilst one foot was OK, the ... http://www.ovaltine.co.uk/firsttimeforeverything/index.php/archives/47
