Favorite Food?

Emily has always been a very picky eater, especially when we were trying to ween her.  She hated anything with mixed textures and would always spit things out if they had any lumps in much to my frustration.
However one thing she did enjoy eating no matter how often me and Nanna tried to stop you was dog biscuits!!

A star is born!

You have always loved music and by 13 months old you would sing along with most nursery rymes, not to mention your favorite song "We Will Rock You!" by Queen which was all thanks to your Auntie Rie buying you an extremely annoying singing baby for your first christmas

You loved it when we got the microphone out for you to sing with and you gave a very impressive version of "Hello Hello, how are you" all by yourself and we sang Old McDonald and you made all the animal noises including duck, dog, snake, horse, monkey, sheep and cat!

Tooth at last!

You started teething quite early at about 15 weeks old and always had very hard gums but it wasn't until you were 7 months old that we finally had a breakthrough! I was feeding you an ice lolly as you had been upset and red cheeked all day and as i pulled it out of your mouth i felt it drag and sure enough when i looked in your mouth at long last you cut your first tooth!

Favorite Toys

Along with Baby Ted who has always been a firm favorite you loved hanging about in your pram with your legs hanging over your pram rattle happily playing away
Your favorite play gym toy was Mr Sunshine, im not sure why he is not on this picture, he is probably in your pram where you had him last

Lucky for you Nanna and Grandad have an extra large doorway in the living room which was perfect for your door bouncer, the only problem was every time Ziggy pushed past you she would send you into a spin!

When Nanna gave you your first doll you looked at us all confused as if we had given you a real baby and spent a long time studying its face. When you finally decided to have a closer look you picked her up and started sucking her head haha

First Holiday - Bridlington

When you were 6 months old me your Dad, Nan and Grandad booked a caravan at Bridlington for the week, we dropped onto some decent weather and had a really nice week although sleeping arrangements were a little tight. We had taken along a travel cot for you to sleep in but it was too wide to fit down the side of the bed in the big bedroom but me and Nanna went shopping and happened upon a longer thinner travel cot that worked a treat although you much prefered your comfy cot at home!

We took your favorite play gym with us along with a great big bag of toys and it was during this holiday you first rolled over all by yourself! You never did like being on your front though and belly flopped about like a paniced seal until someone put you back on your back again



You had your first sink bath in the caravan and really enjoyed it, splashing about and squealing. You was such a clever girl already and knew you musnt touch the taps!

On one of the days we stopped off to enjoy a cream bun and a cup of tea on the pier and you enjoyed having a little drink of your Dad's cup of tea

Spoon Food - Yummy!

Your very first attempt at spoon food i gave you a little tiny spoon tip of Chocolate Pudding when you were about 3.5 months old and you screwed your face up, chewed it a little then bubbled it down your chin so i gave it up as a bad job.

At 4 months old i made you a small bowl of mushy rusk to see how you liked it and you ate every last scrap and thoroughly enjoyed it!

Yum Yum!

Laughing!

At 3 and half months old you had laughing off to a tee!
Such a beautiful smile!

Your favorite games were peekaboo and and silly songs that invloved holding your hands and jigging you up and down
