foot in mouth....

Natalie's doing really well at eating, she loves carrot, swede, and baby cereal!



Potato she's not so keen on, and she makes a face as if I'm feeding her a lemon when I give her potato to eat (it makes me so sad, I love potatoes!!).

We gave her some diluted fruit juice too which she didn't like at first she eventually got the hang of drinking it.

However, Natalie's got a new favourite thing to eat, even more than carrot....her right foot!


At every opportunity she grabs it and shoves it in her mouth. Yesterday she managed to get her big toe in her mouth and her second toe up her nostril - what a talented daughter I have!

Here are some pictures of a present I made for my friend's birthday last week - I really enjoyed making it, I may have to make one for myself too!




Pete's been working really hard over the last month on a case study he has to submit to university in order to graduate as an architect (along with taking some written and oral exams). He decided not to work on it on Sunday but to spend some time with me and Natalie so we went for a walk in the woods near home. It turned out to be a really nice walk, we're thinking of doing it again on Christmas Day after dinner (yes, I know - I'm already thinking about Christmas!).





I cant wait until November when all of Pete's uni work is finished and I get my husband back! It's been pretty tough having him at work during the day and then working in the evenings and at weekends too - I know he's looking forward to getting his home life back too!

I've noticed recently that Natalie's become very interested in the labels on her toys, so I decided to use some of the many ribbons I have collected over the years and make her a tag blanket:




It's not quite finished yet - I need to sew up the corner that I left unstitched so that I could turn the whole thing inside out again (I never know how to do this neatly - I think I'll have to do some research to find a tidy way of doing it), and I'm going to quilt the square to hold it together better, but I think she's going to like it!
