Daddy's Girl

It's always said that girls are more daddy's girls and boys are mummy's boys. This is definitely true in Calleigh's case.

But I don't mind (although I do grump sometimes when Daddy gets smiles and all I get is a half hearted glance before turning back to Daddy), I think it's lovely that Calleigh adores her Daddy. After all he is the one who will protect her and keep her safe.

 

Calleigh has always had a special bond with Daddy, I think she knows he's the one she can wrap around her little finger.

 

We recently went as a family to go and feed the ducks and I just wanted to share with you some of the photos I took that day, as they really show that special bond between Father and Daughter.

 

 

We didn't actually do any feeding of the ducks that day, we just watched and I went mad taking pictures. I've got about 20 pictures of what looks like the same Swan, I shall call her Susan.

 

 



The Great Escape

Since Calleigh has become a very (very!) speedy crawler is has been essential for us to install a Baby Safety Gate into her bedroom, especially as it leads directly out to the stairs. Now Calleigh being the genius that she is, has already figured out how to open it, luckily her mini little hands are not big nor strong enough to do it (phew).

 

 

So instead Calleigh has resorted to pulling on Paul's leg to let her out, yet more evidence that Calleigh is secretly our pet dog.

 

 

 



Outfit Of The Month: Halloween Special

Look at that pose

 

Mummy's Little Pumpkin Outfit (inc tights)- George at Asda

Pumpkin Slippers- Tesco Baby

 

I love Halloween and am very excited for Calleigh as this will be her first one. There isn't a lot of choice for baby Halloween costumes but when I saw this whilst shopping at Asda I couldn't resist.

I can't wait to take her out in it on Halloween :-)

 

 

 



A Look in Calleigh's Toy Box

 

We got a new toy box to keep all Calleigh's toys in (and save us from tripping over them 5 times a day).

Today you get to take a peek inside at some of Calleigh's favourite toys.

 

 

 

 

This is monkey we brought Calleigh from Saint Louis. This is more a favourite of mine as it has sticky arms and legs. I like to wrap him round Calleigh when she's crawling around and watch her get angry with him for following her around.

Haha.

 

 

 

Some books and Handy Manny DVD's. Calleigh loves books, in the first words book theres a picture of a cat which she meows at and a dog on the next page which she shouts "Do" at (I think that means dog).

 

 

Here are some random things that Calleigh sneaks in there. A comb, a TV remote and some sun cream.

Strange child.

 

 

Calleigh usually goes in there and picks out what she wants to play with. Or just throws things on the floor and puts them back in, this can go on for a while.

 

 

 



Nowhere is Safe

Calleigh and I went to visit Auntie Lana yesterday. Every time I walk in the door I can almost see the cat think "Oh No! Not Again!!". You see now Calleigh is, shall we say, mobile the cat finds it very hard to sit down in peace.

Now yesterday I think Calleigh took it to a new level and informed the cat that sitting at a height is no longer safe either. Bianca (the cat) jumped up to the top of her scratching post and Calleigh, displeased with the fact that she could no longer chase her around the floor, began shaking the post to try to get her to come down.

Motion shot so a little shaky

Poor Cat

Upon realising that cat's have exceptional holding on skills. Calleigh gave up and moved on to something new. This time she decided that Mee-Maws glass door was a bit dirty and gave it a little clean for her.

It's October!!

Today is the first day of October, my favourite month of the year. Autumn has set in and the big knit jumpers and cosy cardigans are back out. I'm loving the new choice of clothes for Calleigh and can't wait to dress her up in them.

It's Calleigh's first halloween and I am definitely looking forward to dressing her up in some crazy costumes!

 

It's also a good time to let Calleigh try some new foods(and me aswell). I'm going to try making a yummy pumpkin soup. And for Daddy and I a lovely chocolate halloween cake :-)

 

I have also started window shopping for Calleigh's birthday. I can't believe she is going to be 1 next month, it's gone so fast!

 

Happy October everyone!
