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 Saying ‘No’ We’ve not said this too much yet as I heard if you give a reaction of any type it encourages repeats anyway, but she has somehow learnt to say ‘No’ herself by shaking her head and does it when she had decided she doesn’t want to eat any more! ... http://www.ovaltine.co.uk/firsttimeforeverything/index.php/archives/46 Dining Out Eating out is starting to get much easier, although still a little limited in what is easy to feed Imogen.

Once I got carried away and ordered a childrens meal, but she is far too little for that and the ... http://www.ovaltine.co.uk/firsttimeforeverything/index.php/archives/45 After three days we are home again and we both were very pleased to get through the door & see the cats!

She crawls, although has started by using her hands and feet rather than knees – not sure of that’s because we have floorboards everywhere instead of nice soft carpet – she definitely uses her knees at nursery! She’s starting to be able to ... http://www.ovaltine.co.uk/firsttimeforeverything/index.php/archives/42 Had a minor accident on a main dual carriageway today, horrendous! It’s a really busy road and Imogen and I were on our way to a retirement party when the cars in front all stopped suddenly. We stopped and the two cars behind us did, but the last one didn’t ... http://www.ovaltine.co.uk/firsttimeforeverything/index.php/archives/41 I am so glad I have Fridays off now – I really don’t know how we’d manage if I worked five days. I haven’t once yet managed to actually meet with anyone or take Imogen to any groups, the days are always filled with keeping on top of the home ... http://www.ovaltine.co.uk/firsttimeforeverything/index.php/archives/40 Imogen woke up with a sticky red eye this morning, on a work day, so I had to stay at home to take her to the doctors.
