Weekend in Grimsby

On the 28th March we took Emily to visit some good friends of ours who we met online called Ross & Lia. Emily was very excited to meet thier new baby kitten Arora



She had a great time running about playing with the kitten and causing havoc, i think Arora enjoyed having someone to play with that never seemed to get bored hehe

The following day the sun was out, the weather was lovely so we took Emily down to Cleethorpes seafront for the day.

After grabbing some Chippy for dinner we headed down to the amusements and Emily went on just about every ride available, and she even let me put money in to make them go!

Then we had a quick half hour on the beach and Ross helped Emily build a sandcastle which she then destroyed as soon as he lifted the bucket.


After an Eskimoo for the adults and an icecream for Emily we had a quick browse round the market and a cup of tea in the cafe, Emily was falling asleep so we decided to go to Cue-World for a few games of Pool before heading home.
We had a lovely weekend!

Water Baby!

On the 20th March we took Emily to the swimming pool for the first time.

As i had never really taken a baby swimming before i wasnt too sure what to expect, although we have never yet had any accidents in the bath i didnt know how we would go on in the pool.

I explained to Emily that the swimmers nappy i was putting on her was'nt a free license to fill it and that if she needed the toilet she must must tell me.

She absolubtly loved the pool and was very brave, she didnt have her floatation jacket on for very long and was quite comfortable hopping up and down in the pool so long as me and Daddy were close by.

We must have been in there about 45 mins, still having a wonderful time when suddenly Emily burst out crying, so much so i couldnt work out what she was saying, i thought maybe she had caught her foot on a sharp tile or something so i lifted her up and calmed her down enough to hear her .. "I need a poo!, that means i cant swim anymore! *sob*"

I told her that we could go to the loo and come back but by the time we queued her little jaw was chattering away and my belly was rumbling so we decided to get dressed and go to the cafe for burger and chips.

She cant wait to go again :0)

Cannon Hall Farm

Me and Daddy took Emily to the farm today, it was a lovely day, we had a great time, loads of baby animals to see including pigs, sheep and goats. They also have a huge play area, im not sure who enjoyed it most, Emily or Daddy!


Daddy showed Emily how to milk the plastic cow (squirts water) as you can tell from her face she was a little weirded out by this hehe

Then she made friends with a funny bunny. I tried to tell the farmer that i thought his Rabbit was escaping but apparently he always climbs out and sits on the pen wall "its his favorite spot"
He was very sociable.

She even got to feed the sheep, which was as slimey and gross as you could imagine but she thought it was fabulous!
