Rapunzel

She's not quite rapunzel yet but there is a very similar photo to this one posted 3 months ago and look how much Daisy's hair has grown. She loves having it brushed. She loves having her teeth brushed too and has recently started doing them herself although she needs a bit of help to get them all done.

We are off to yoga in a minute. I hope it's an easy class, my legs have only just recovered from dancing until the small hours on Saturday night. How old and sad am I? Bring on the zimmerframe...

The Brasserie - Wandsworth Common

The NCT group met up yesterday at The Brasserie on Wandsworth Common, and all the babies soon took over the place sprawling all over the floor. Reasonable food but better wine. All the little ones are so different, it is amazing to watch them develop in parallel.

The girls then went drinking and dancing in the evening. Babel in Northcote Road followed by Wessex House.

England 20 All Blacks 41

Guess who dressed Daisy this morning? Much to Bec's disgust, Daisy and Andy are wearing matching England tops ready for the big game, although Bec is insisting that Daisy wears her All Blacks hat at every opportunity. It is another beautifully clear and sunny day in London.

The All Blacks dominated the game as expected, although there were a few good points from the England game. Well done the AB's!

Tick tock one o'clock

We've been having fun at the one o'clock club. First Daisy went for a drive then played with the bubble tubes and fibre optics in the sensory room. We finished up with some glitter, paint and glue messy fun. Sticky baby!

Trick or treat!

Daisy loves dressing up (or maybe mummy loves dressing her up) and Halloween is as good an excuse as any. Grandma Julia whipped her up an outfit then it was time to trick or treat. Woooooo! The bottom two pictures are Daisy checking out her new look in her mirror. She was pretty pleased with it.

Nine months and counting

Here is Daisy trying to crawl at the Science Museum a couple of weeks ago. She's not quite there yet but is doing her best. I'm enjoying her lack of mobility for the short time it remains! She has also just started trying to stand up by pulling herself up on things although she's got a way to go before that is mastered.

You can't tell from this photo but she has six big teeth and I think another two may have come through in the past few days but she won't let me near her mouth to find out for sure. And in another big step, as Daisy is now a big nine month old she is no longer a vegetarian. She had chicken for the first time the other night. Unfortunately she had been right off her food for about the past week (sore teeth I think) but things seem to be improving.

We've been really busy of late and time is flying by. The clocks went back at the weekend so it feels like winter is drawing near. We are still having some beautiful days so are making the most of them by being out and about whenever possible. Who would have thought life could be so busy keeping one small girl amused!

Photos!

Finally got things working. As you can see from the presence of tights, hats and hoods, things have gotten pretty autumnal. Although we've still had some lovely days. Time for yoga now!
