Baby of the Year Photo's

As you know I entered Calleigh in this years Baby of the Year photo competition run by the Nottingham Post.

We got all the photos back and the one we had chosen appeared in the Nottingham Post on Tuesday.

 

Even though we had quite a few tears that day I thought the photo's were adorable and if she doesn't win in the competition I still think she is my baby of the year.
If anyone picks up a copy of the post with a voting form in and wants to vote for Calleigh her number is 1233 and shes on page 6 in the pull-out.

 



Outfit Of The Month: September

Calleigh is wearing her new Daisy Pyjama's and slippers. I brought these from the Disney Store, they have a lovely range of adorable clothes for babies.

 

She is also wearing her new Minnie Mouse dressing gown, getting ready for the colder mornings ahead.

This was a present from Mee-Maw from our trip to Matalan when we went feeding the ducks. 

Calleigh's Menu: 9 months

Now Calleigh is 9 months old feeding her is a treat, albeit a very messy one. I enjoy giving her little portions of what Daddy and I are having as well as using ready made jars.

 

She has become very fond of toast and happily sits there nibbling (well gumming, she still has no teeth) away at it whilst watching her morning TV.

More recently we have introduced her to scrambled egg and beans and she is loving them too.

 

 

 

Last week I was lucky enough to recieve a free sample from Hipp Organic of their new range of pouches. I got a pouch of Scrummy Spaghetti Bolognese and gave it to Calleigh for her dinner that day. She loved every spoonful and wiped the bowl clean.

This last week she has also tried a very mild Chicken Curry and a Pork and Apple Casserole both of which she finished off in record timing.

 

 

 

Dessert wise she loves fruit but is not so fond of chocolate. Although she is partial to a Jaffa Cake or two.

She also loves Victoria Sponges and apple and ginger biscuits.

 

 

Feeding is fun! Soon it will be time for turkey dinosaurs and fun pasta shapes woohoo.

It's all about Cats and Birds

Mee-maw had the day off work on Tuesday so Calleigh and I went to spend the day at hers. Calleigh spent the morning exploring the house and keeping us on our toes. She also followed the cat around for a bit, much to the poor cats displeasure. It was your typical stand off when the two came face to face.

 

 

In the afternoon, thanks to the nice sunshine we were having, I decided to go up to Attenborough Nature Reserve so Calleigh could see some birds.

After parking up Mee Maw and Calleigh went on ahead whilst I paid for parking. When I caught up with them Calleigh was stone faced, completely uninterested whilst Mee Maw was being attacked by the huge swans. I had a little laugh, being the nice person that I am before going to rescue them.

 

 

After a quick cuppa I decided on a bit of shopping as there were some shops nearby.

Spent some money on Calleigh as always and even spent some of Mee Maws money on Calleigh too. She's a spoilt little girl.  

 

Here are some more photos from Attenborough just so you can see how excited Calleigh was to be there.
