Food and photos

We've had a tiring couple of weeks with Amy waking up in the night every few hours, picking up colds and Dan working hard for his exams. We are all looking forward to the Christmas break and hoping to go on holiday. I just think we've left getting Amy's passport a bit too late. Here are some of our homemade passport photo attempts. We resorted to getting offical ones done in a booth which was quite a laugh, Amy was not at all interested in looking at the camera and trying to position myself out of view required some contortion skills.


We decided that the lack of sleep has been down to Amy getting hungry in the night, so this morning Amy tried her first real food! She absolutely wolfed it down and seemed very pleased with herself. I can't wait to start giving her lots of exciting food!

T-rex

I finally got around to sewing together my next amazing knitting creation... as you can see, sewing things on straight is a skill I definitely need to work on!

A hat and a cousin

Amy got a new cousin yesterday.  She also got a hat.  We don't know which she is more excited about.

Fireworks

Fun at the fireworks display at Markeaton Park.

Amy's New Friend

Dan's Birthday and Amy's New High Chair

Fun was had by all on Dan's birthday. After his morning lecture we took the bus out to Bakewell where we had a fish and chip lunch, bought a Bakewell pudding and took a short walk to Ashford in the Water. Later that evening after a nice meal at home, Dan's parents made a surprise visit to babysit Amy. We ended up seeing Fantastic Mr Fox at the cinema and going on the big wheel in the city centre. Yesterday, I decided to give Amy a go in her new high chair (thanks Tiffany!) to start getting her used to it, in preparation for meal times. She quickly got the hang of what you are supposed to do with a spoon!
