Yesterday I didn't get a chance to post on your blog - but we had a very busy day from the get-go. We were swimming up at Campbell in the morning - you haven't been in the water since before Christmas, and yesterday wasn't the best day to be starting back. It was bitterly cold, but you weren't there last week because of your cold and we want you to keep in the way of it so it isn't all foreign to you when we go back. You are even in a new swimsuit as your baby-togs are too small for you now - you are getting so long and lean! You were a bit cross at the start, but Daddy thinks it was because the air around the pool was cold rather than the water. Once you were in the water you had a great time.
I always feel a bit apprehensive when they do the parts where the babies go under the water for a wee swim, but you never even bat an eyelid. That's why Daddy is better in the water with you than Mummy is!! You just come popping up all smiles looking for your ball, or wee duck that you were playing with! Your absolute favorite part is at the end of the half hour - when the little boats and tugs come out! The babies all go into a wee float (you were in a little New York yellow taxi cab!) and their Mummy or Daddy pulls them about the pool! You get so excited and spent the whole time shrieking and laughing your head off!!We had a tasty lunch at M&S on the way home together and then you slept the whole way up the road in the car. Such a great day together even if it was cold and wet!
Today has been a lazy lovely sort of Sunday - I have made butternut squash and apple soup, Daddy is reading the Sunday papers and watching the football on the TV, and you are tootling around on the floor with your toys and having fun. I am looking for nice cupcake recipes that are fairly easy for a baking novice to do so I can start and practice before your birthday in March! Something tells me Daddy will be eating his way through quite a few trial cakes between now and then!!
Daddy is home all week which is wonderful, and we have a few things planned that we will be out and about for - weather permitting! The forecast says that there is snow on the way!! Winter is truly here!

I think it's wonderful that you are getting her used to the water at such a young age. Sounds like she is a natural!
Have fun practicing with the cakes, I'm sure your hubby won't mind
Wish I had given my kids swimming lessons at that age. Bravo! Thanks so much for your birthday greetings. I had a wonderful day! And yes, it is lovely living close to my sister/friend. Part of the benefit is getting to see my adorable little niece in person! :> Your little Kay is just gorgeous! Blessings to you all!
Loved the pics of Baby Kay in the pool -- especially her "water taxi" -- and how nice that Daddy is home with you all week...enjoy!
I can imagine Baby Kay's delight, as she was pulled around on the floating cab. She is so adorable. BG said to tell you that she loves both babies and swimming. She is ready to join your family, because we are mean and never take her to an indoor pool.
I can't tell the difference between cakes made from scratch or a mix, so I always use a mix. What flavor do you want to bake?
