Feeling much better.....

This weekend I am happy to report Summer appears to be feeling much better. Yesterday we went into Bournemouth shopping and today we have done a lovely walk around Breamore House looking at the bluebells with some friends. Above you can see daddy with Summer in the baby carrier - which she seems to like much better than sitting in her buggy! Below is Summer sat in our garden. Here is a little video of Summer in the garden:

A little under the weather....

Whilst staying at my parents this weekend Summer became a little poorly and as a precaution we took her to Southampton Hospital A&E. They advised she has gastroenteritis but thankfully did not keep her in. She is getting better each day although she is still very sleepy and not her usual happy self.

Grandad and Summer

Before Summer became unwell we had a lovely weekend including a visit to Winkworth Arboretum with the whole family. It was lovely to see Summer with her cousin Isabella (in the picture at the top) who is only slightly younger at 5 months old. We had good weather and enjoyed a walk around and as you can see took some pictures!

Bank Holiday Weekend

We had a lovely bank holiday weekend - I think we were very lucky with the weather. My parents came to Christchurch on Sunday and we had lunch at Holmsley Tea Rooms in the New Forest. On Monday Matt, Summer and I had lunch on the beach. Here is a little video:

Look who's talking......

Well after a few weeks of babbling, Summer has said her first word . It was a very clear Dadda - she then spent the rest of the day yesterday perfecting it!! Here's hoping the next is Mama!!!

Summer has her eight month check up last week with the Health Visitor and she passed with flying colours!! She is still a little small for her age but her weight is in proportion with her height. She is achieving all her developmental milestones such as picking up objects and passing them from hand to hand, clapping, waving etc. The only thing she isn't doing is crawling and they are unsure whether this is to do with her exomphalos or whether she will just go straight to walking.

Last weekend we had Matts family all down to celebrate Oma's birthday. It was gorgeous weather so we had a lovely stroll on the beach. This weekend my parents are coming on Easter Sunday so we will be going out for lunch and then maybe a stroll in the New Forest.
