On Saturday Daddy took you to Newry for an hour or two - you had a great time in your pram going round the shops while Daddy picked up his bits and pieces. I forget sometimes how much fun it is being out with you, and how excited you get about seeing other babies, or bicycles, or dogs, or seeing lorries and buses. But Daddy doesn't get to see this window of your life very often so these times are very precious to him. It lets him see how we spend our day, and how you love to get out and about to see the world around you.
And also it gives him a chance to spoil his princess - your very first ice cream cone!! Daddy tells me you didn't eat it all, and wouldn't entertain eating it directly from the cone, he had to get you a little spoon for you to use!
While you were out I had a chance to clean your nursery and drop your cot base down. You are starting to get a bit too agile for the base to be as high as it was, so for safety I wanted to drop it before you realised you could pull yourself up on the bars on the side. You have slept in it now for 2 nights, and had your naps in it, but each time I have put you down you have been uncharacteristically upset, and cried for a little bit, which you seldom do when it is time to sleep. You are normally so pooped you just wriggle around a bit and then doze off. I have been wracking my brain to work out what it is, and I think I have it - your cot bumper is now too high and you can't see out! Before it was easy for you to reach up and pull it down to give you a wee window out the side into the nursery, but now you can't reach, and I think it has frightened you, or at the very least made you very brassed off about it!Tomorrow morning when you waken I am going to take the bumper off and see how you fare without it for a day or two. I am not sure you need it anymore anyway - although you wriggle about a lot I am not sure if the bumper was really stopping you bashing off the top of the cot.
Will give this a try tomorrow and hope for the best!! Sweet dreams of Daddy coming home to you my darling x x

What a wonderful daddy... and such a sweet baby. Yummm... I wish I had some of her ice cream. As they grow it seems it is always something to puzzle our minds on their surroundings... Good luck with the bumper Fiona.

How fun for her to have her first ice cream cone with Daddy! Mary made a mess of her fist one, but she sure had fun! Amelie is growing so fast and learning so quickly! This fall we are going to need to get Mary a regular bed. I hope she takes to it OK. Sometimes changes are hard for her too. Love, Elena
so, your little girl is growing up :O). i remember moving kali's baby bed mattress down, too. actually, she climbed out of the bed one morning, banged her head when she feel, got a nice bruise, and i decided we needed to lower it. it wasn't long till we got her a big girl bed - so your time is coming - lol! have a great week!
What a little lady...eating her ice cream cone with a spoon! Seems like you had a great day! Love the pictures!
Daddy's sure need some of this kind of time with their wee ones!! I know it had to be such a blessing for him.
And how fun for her to have her first ice-cream cone and Daddy snap a photo of it!!
Hope you're having a wonderful day!!
Love and hugs,
Becky
