Quick post

Hi All, Just a quick update tonight, and only one photo for you! I know everyone will find this VERY surprising but I am taking less photos of Miss Holly these days! So here is a photo of her yesterday morning at the crack of dawn, probably about 6am! I wish I looked that good in the morning ;-)

So we have just been up to our usual stuff this week! On Monday morning we saw Julie and Kory for a little bit and heard all about their trip to Cyprus. In the afternoon Dad came through with Rosie Dog, he was picking my jet-setting Mum up from the airport (she was in Verona, Italy) so Dad came to see us first, which was nice. He was very impressed with Holly's backwards crawl!

Yesterday morning we popped over to Angela and Matthew's in the morning then Baby Group in the afternoon. I was working at night, but it wasn't too late a night.

Today Holly went to play with Matthew for a couple of hours whilst I went back to work. She was apparently a good girl and they had lots of fun together. Then we just had a quiet afternoon.

So I guess it wasn't that quick a post after all!
Bye for now,

Return of the happy baby!

Hello Folks, Daddy here for a change.

Mummy is having an early night as she's been grafting all day doing stuff like cooking Holly's food. I'm sure Holly will pay her back one day by cooking us dinner every night - aye right!!!

Anyway nae much happening. Holly is still perfecting the moonwalk before she decides to move forwards! She's getting really good at getting on her front by herself though, so as soon as she works out forward motion - 'wur doomed!'.

Here's a nice smiley photo of her just after she woke up from a snooze. A bit more appealing than the grump she had on the other day!

And one final one of her in her bouncer thing- mummy's saviour as it let's her get ready in the mornings!.


Anyway I'm off to watch 'Extras'. Holly has her 8 month MOT tomorrow so no doubt Mummy will be on with an update tomorrow.

Bye for now

Grumpy on 8 Month Birthday!

Hi All, just a quick update for you tonight with a photo of Holly on her 8 month birthday, which is today! She was very grumpy and fed up when I took the photo, her teeth are hurting her, but still no sign of them....

Poor Holly Baby!

Back from Lossie and on the move!

Hi All, as promised another update on the blog!! We are back from Lossie now after a lovely weekend.

Firstly here is a photo of Miss Holly in her bath last night, doesn't she look a happy baby!?

Holly went down to her Grannie and Granda Stewart's this morning for a while, whilst Mummy and Daddy had a nice breakfast and trip to Elgin. Holly had a great time down there and her Great Grannie and Granda came to see her too.

After we picked her up she had lunch then we headed off home. Here is a photo of Grandpa Forbes seen as he missed out yesterday....

When we got home Holly decided it was time to get on the move and has learnt to push herself backwards, she has managed to get across the living room a couple of times and was quite pleased with herself as you can see....

Not quite crawling, but I'm sure that won't be far off... uh-oh!!

Well that's it for now, will try and update more this week.

Bye,

Visiting Lossie

Hello All, this update is especially for Auntie Ellen and Michelle as they are very disappointed there has been no update since Monday! So sorry about that everyone! We had another busy week, Tuesday was baby group and on Wednesday we went to Baby Cinema again. On Thursday Mum came through to visit us, I was meant to be working but ended up not having too, so we just went to Asda!

On Friday morning Holly and I came back through to Lossie because Mum was having our old friends to visit, the Blindell Family. They live down south but were up in the area on their holidays. We had a lovely lunch and sat in the garden and it was really nice to see them all. Here is a photo of us all.....

Ian came through after work and we just had a quiet evening.

So today we had a bit of a lazy start as Holly had us up in the night for a few hours, those teeth are hurting her a lot still. Here is Holly playing with Granny before lunch....

After lunch Mum and I took Holly a walk up to the cemetry which was nice, but very hot, it's roasting in Lossie! After that we went down to the Stewart house where we saw Grannie and Granda Stewart and Uncle Steve. Auntie Ellen came in too, so Holly had lots of people to keep her occupied! Here are a few photos from when we were there....

As Holly was fighting sleep (as usual!) Grannie Stewart and I then went a walk over to see Uncle Billy and Auntie Sheila, where Holly snoozed (finally!) and we had a fine cuppie tea!

So that was the past few days, we are in Lossie until tomorrow then back to Aberdeen. I will try to get a photo of Grandpa Forbes on here tomorrow night, he has been left out!

Bye for now,
Hannah X

p.s. this photo is for Auntie Saz so she can see how bonnie Holly looks in her outfit from Dubai!

Christening

Hi All, well yesterday we went to Keira's Christening, or 'Dedication' to give it it's proper name. It was out in Inverurie, so we had an early start to have us all ready to get to Inverurie by 11, and we were still last to arrive. The service was on for about an hour and a half, but luckily there was a bit set up at the back for us Mum's to sit with the babies and play, so they were all kept amused (all 5 babies from Baby Group were there!)

Here is Holly in her pretty dress she had on...

After the service we went back to Keira's Grandparents for lunch which was lovely. We had a really nice day.

Today we have been busy busy, we had our Health Visitor visiting us in the morning, then Julie and Kory over for lunch (although Holly slept the whole time they were here and didn't see them!) and then we went over to Angela's.

So that's it for now,

Long time no blog!

Hi All, I thought I should do a blog update for all the Holly Fans out there. Sorry there hasn't been one for a while, I haven't actually taken many photos of Holly this week (shock horror I know!), so not had a lot to share!

Sarah took the photo on the left last Sunday when we were down at their place, I thought I would put it up as it is so good!

We have just been up to our usual antics this week, on Monday Holly had her hearing test which she passed with flying colours! Tuesday was baby group day, yesterday we went for a walk and then saw Angela and Matthew for a while. Today we went for another walk then down to Catriona's to celebrate them selling their house, but I was good and just had a cup of tea instead of the wine, major dieting going on at the moment!

And that's about it, I am away off to work tonight so had better get going!

Bye for now,
Hannah X

p.s. Here is Holly on her front watching the telly, she is beginning to spend more time on her front and move round in circles, so it maybe won't be that long until she is off, not that I am in any rush, I like the fact she can't go anywhere yet, coz that's when the fun really starts!

Update on last couple of days

Hi All, sorry no update again for a few days. Well we have been busy again since Wednesday. On Thursday we spent the afternoon house viewing!! Not that we are moving, but our friend's from baby group, Catriona and Keira, are selling up so most of the baby group went to inspect their 'House Doctoring'. It was really just an excuse to meet up and drink coffee!

On Thursday night Mum came through to visit us, along with Rosie Dog. Sarah and Mike also came up. Here is Mum reading Holly a bed time story....

Yesterday we had a quiet morning, rearranging the dining room then went out in the afternoon to Matalan, then went for lunch in Stonehaven, which was lovely, but we were sitting outside and it started to chuck it down rain, so we got very wet!! Mum headed off late afternoon and I headed out to work in the evening, but I made it home for Big Brother!

Oh here is a photo of Holly, this is her 'Fimbles' face.... 'Fimbles' is a kid's programme on CBeebies and she LOVES it, she goes absolutely mad when it comes on! So I tried to capture it when we were watching it yesterday.

So that's it, we are having Angela, Martin and Matthew over for a BBQ today, let's hope the rain holds off for that!
