just another blog

Got a lie in this morning 6.30am, then we both got up bathed had breakfast harry has gone down for her nap and it is only 8.40am.

Hectic few days won't go into details but families can be a pain, perhaps i am very lucky i have a wonderful MIL.

went to chiswick yesterday as mark was at work there, harry and I went shopping, harry had her first go on a swing and we watched the ducks at chiswick house.

she slept all of last night on her futon hurrah, it means that she is not trying to climb out of her cot so we all got a better nights sleep.

just looking at all the new babies must not get broody..............

Four Thirty AM!!!!!

That what time my little angel woke me this morning :-(

Then she moved into bed with us till 6.15 then decided it was awake time, its now 7.30 and she is eating breakfast, considering I was doing her room till midnight last night ( she was in our bed)I want to go back to sleep, must have more coffee!!!

Mothers and Toddlers at 10am for the first time, should be fun.

Bye Rachel and Harry

Stairs

We have had a busy week..

Tuesday

Mid summer, went out shopping and had lunch with harry, she seems to eat more than I do, brought some wax crayons but harry seems more intrested in eating them at the mo.

Wednesday

My birthday, mark was away so harry helped me to open my cards she helped daddy to write hers before he went away, when out with grandma for a pub lunch, why do all childrens menus consist of chips chips and more chips and when you ask them to heat home made food they look at you as if you have five heads.

When to the dentist and had a filling without a local, due to the fact I am still bf harry, dentist was very good about it nor made to feel wierd for feeding a year old child.

Thursday

went to great nannas harry decided to climb her stairs and check out all her bedrooms, is their a sensitive period for stairs?

Friday

Day in southampton to see friends harry slept a lot and ate a lot she has been off her food, not sure if it is the heat or one very large molar appearing.


but she is very keen to stairs and climbing and has started doing jigsaws, we also now have a host of words, mamma dadda bath up out nice more ahhh grandad nanna bed mik (milk) oh and she is attempting to say boobie that is daddys doing and I am not pleased.

on the montessori front I go back to a montessori school one day a week next week on placement, I am very nervous but looking forward to it.

I must blog more often.

enjoy the sun rachel and harry

It too hot!

I am bubbling I hate this weather, i am an autumn person.

I am looking for a herbal treatment for PMS that is safe while breast feeding and I have found that evening primrose oil is of no help and I cant take the pill (gps other idea).

Had birthday party no three on saturday, one with marks parents one with my mum and one with my family, got to go baby calling.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARRY

Harriet was one on Wednesday, I have had my little angel for a whole year.

She had a great day, was given lots of toys all musical or wooden which was good, and she did face painting with her birthday cake.

Then yesterday she took her first unaided steps its all happening here.

I would love to post some photos of her but I have given up with blogger blot, I cant get it to function.

Oh and she has learned how to say no.........

Wonderful Wales

we have just returned from a week on Holy island with Harrys Grandparents.

She has had a great week (however the dog will be happy if he never sees her again)

We have been swimming and with her float suit on she can do a doggy paddle and kick well.

We went to dublin for the day and Harry almost crawled her way there crawling round the boat.

We also went to a farm park and Harry fell in love with a rabbit called popcorn.

The funny part was when we fed the lambs she thought the bottle was for her (cant understand why as she is breast fed)but the lamb must of thought he would lose his lunch.

Back to work and to normal tomorrow, need another week.

Rachel and harry.

More Montessori

I have now got two excellent books on Montessori infant toddler and it is nice to see that I am doing things right so to speak. Harry has now mastered her stacking rings and understands that the imbucare boxes go one way up (ball goes in through a hole in the top and comes out at the bottom).

On the home learning front this week Harry and I have:
experiemeted with crayons
played with dough she keeps trying to feed it to me!
Done lots of water play
played with a bowl of jelly
learned how to do the stacking rings
and turned her room upside down as fast as I could tidy it.

She is blowing raspberries at everyone, we can thank daddy for that!!!!!

I really must finish my packing Harry and I are off to see the grandparents this weekend which means the poor dog will be chased around again.

Hope everyone has a nice weekend.

ps can you tell me how to put photos on this.
