Hello Everyone! Well I try not to be too much of a boastful Mum, but I am so chuffed, Holly can sit up on her own. She has actually wanted to be upright since about 7 weeks old and we have had lots of sitting practise, but now she seems to be sitting on her own. Of course she falls over after a few seconds, but that's half the fun! We tried heaps of times today to get a good photo of her sitting, but this was the best we could get....
So another busy day today, we went to a 30th Birthday BBQ for a friend we met at Ante-natal classes all those months ago. Unfortuanately the weather was pretty rotten so the men were sent outside to cook and us girls (and babies!) stayed in the warm. Holly was kept amused for ages by the balloons, she was totally giggling away at them!
Her boyfriend, Matthew, was there too, so they had lots of fun together.
That's about all we have to report, hope you are having a good weekend!

Hi all again! Just a quick post with a couple of photos of Holly from tonight. The first one is after her tea this evening, she has a new trick which is blowing raspberries whilst eating which results in one almighty mess as you can see! She was actually doing it when I took the photo. I think I am going to need to wear protective clothing from now on, I think I was more of a mess than Holly was. She thinks she is very funny when she does it, the wee monkey!
The next photo is of Holly using Daddy's laptop tonight, she seems to be quite a computer whizz already, but with Ian as her Dad that's not too surprising!
Bye for now,

Below is a photo of Holly and Kory taken on Wednesday afternoon. They were both being wee monkey's on Wednesday but I think they had a chat on the playmat and decided between them to behave on Thursday as they both turned in to good babies! Hasn't Kory grown heaps?!
Yesterday we had Grannie Marlene through in Aberdeen which was really good, Holly got to spend lots of time with her. We went shopping to Debenhams in the afternoon and got a few bargains in the sale, including outfits for Holly, shock horror! Below is Grannie giving Holly her yogurt at lunchtime.
We are looking forward to a good weekend, Granny and Grandpa Forbes are coming through on Sunday with our house guest, Rosie Dog, who is staying with us for nearly 3 weeks! Yipee I can't wait!
Bye for now,

Hello again, lots of posts at the moment I know, I'm just trying to make up for the lack of them last week, I know that the Granny's need their Holly fix every day!
So yet another busy day! Holly was up at her usual time so we decided to all get up and get going and were in Asda before 8.30am, which is rather mad! We then came home and unloaded the shopping then Holly and I went out again to Mothercare and Boots (we should be given personal parking spaces at both shops I think!) I got Holly a Parasol for her pram to protect her wee eyes from the sun, which you can see below.
Later on Ian went out and got us some lovely new garden furniture, it has only taken us 3 years to get some, here is Holly and Daddy testing it out.
As soon as we got it all put together the sunshine went away and the clouds came over for the rest of the day, TYPICAL!
Here is another photo of Holly and Ian, which I think is a really good one of them.
So that was our day! Holly has been really good and been more her happy self, so that makes life a lot easier! Long may it continue.
Finally a photo of Frank lying in the garden tonight, he is a wee monkey, he had brought in a dead bird this morning and there were feathers everywhere. It's funny we were just commenting last night that he hadn't brought us any presents for ages and low and behold there was one this morning. Weird!
Well bye for now,

Hello Everyone! Well our day started at 5.30am as usual, I think I am just going to have to resign myself to getting up at this time! Luckily Miss Holly went back to sleep until 6.15am, so that was a bit of a long lie! We then went back to bed after our 8am fix of 'Balamory' (which is actually quite good, for a kid's programme).
This is Holly after our morning snooze, all happy for once!
We had arranged to go and see Angela and Matthew today, and it was such a gorgeous day we decided to walk, it is actually a couple of miles away, so that's quite a hike for me! I managed it fine though and Holly slept all the way there and back!
Here are a couple of photos of her and Matthew,
We had a nice time with Angela and Matthew, Holly is really beginning to take notice of other babies now and they were having wee fights over the toys, which was quite funny!! I think we are going to have fun with them as they get older.
Finally here is a photo of Holly having yet another sleep on me before we walked home, I'm sure you must all think all she ever does is sleep, but she doesn't I assure you!
Well that's it for now, have a good weekend!

Hello all! Well today Holly did something new, a half roll from her side to her front. It was very early this morning when her Daddy was playing with her after breakfast, I was in bed having a long lie (aye, a long lie being 7.30!) so missed the first one. However she has done it heaps since and seems very happy with herself every time she does it. So it shouldn't be too long until we get a full roll from back to front.
Here are some photos of her doing one tonight:
Starting on her side.....
Stopping for a quick chew of her fingers....
Then on her front, yipee!!
I am sure everyone thinks I am very sad being so excited about this, but I'm just a proud Mummy!
Bye for now!

Hello All! Sorry there hasn't been a post for a few days, we have been busy busy! Today we have had my Mum through to see us, which has been good. Mum and Rosie Dog took Holly off out a walk this morning and this afternoon we went shopping (of course!).
Tonight I decided to give Holly dinner for the first time, so that's her on 3 meals a day. She has taken so well to solids, she just loves food and has demolished everything I have given her (including Brocolli, Cauliflour and Sweet Potato mixed together, yuck!). After her Carrot and Parsnip tonight she had her first ever pudding, Banana and Apple Custard, which she absolutely LOVED. She really couldn't get enough of it. I think she is going to have a sweet tooth like her Mum and Dad!
Sarah and Mike came up for dinner tonight and after that Auntie Sarah gave Holly a bath. Sarah is really good at bathing her and Holly just loved it!
Hopefully Sarah will approve of this photo, but I doubt it!
Sarah then decided that Holly should have spikey hair, I tried to get a photo but I'm not so sure how good it is:
