Have I Got Something On My Face??

I can't believe Calleigh is now nearly 20 weeks old. Time really does fly by. She's becoming such a big girl now and she's got lots of character. It's finally got to that point where I can't take my eyes off her for 2 seconds without her getting up to something.

I decided to have a stab at weaning once she got to 17 weeks as I noticed she was showing me all the signs that she's ready. By that I mean trying to eat everything that comes within an inch of her mouth, lucky she hasn't got any teeth yet or she wouldn't have any fingers left. She also stares at me intensely whenever I'm eating which is slightly off putting.

It's been going really well, so far she's only tasted banana, carrot and potato but she seems to really enjoy them all. The first time I gave her a taste of banana, I only intended to give her a small amount but she couldn't get enough, she loved it. Then came the carrots, now this was a bit messier, but she also loved her carrots too. I can't wait to experiment with more flavours.



What you looking at?

Took Calleigh on another trip down to the seaside last weekend with my mum and sister. Had another really good time, even if the weather wasn't the best. Calleigh enjoyed a bit more bingo, gave lots of smiles to random strangers and helped Auntie Lana do a jigsaw. Amazingly she actually found two bits that go together, although before I sign her up to Harvard I think it was just a fluke.




No Lana! That bit doesn't go there!!

We also had a good game of Texas Hold 'Em. She's a proper card shark, the amount of full houses she had was incredible.



All In!

New Toys!!

We took Calleigh shopping yesterday to pick her up some new toys. I think she is starting to get a little bored just playing with Mummy and Daddy.
Went to Toys R' Us and we must have been in there for a good hour deciding which toys our little coo coo beans would like.
And here's what we ended up with...

We also got a great bargain on a beautiful pink travel cot on special offer. Was £110 now £39.99. Couldn't resist a bargain like that, especially as I'll be using it over the next two weeks round my mums.

Once we got home I opened the toys straight away and one by one passed them to Calleigh to see what she thought. Luckily she liked them all and had a bit of a play.

Summer Sun

With all this lovely weather we've been having I finally managed to crack out Calleigh's summer dress (before she gets too big for it).

Went to do a bit of shopping on Wednesday with Auntie Lana. Calleigh was awake most of the trip aswell so she enjoyed seeing the sights around Westfield. Got a little something for myself and treated Calleigh to a super cool pair of sunny's from the Disney Store, and I have to say she looks the part in them.

Hopefully the weather stays nice so we can take Calleigh out at the weekend and show off her cool new look.

When I Grow Up I Want To Be....

... Just like my Dad.

Over the last few weeks Calleigh has developed an obsession with the sky remote.  

 

 She studies it intensely and watches it wherever you move it to. It especially intrigues her when you press a button and the little red light flashes.

 

Now to me it's almost like she's trying to figure out what it is and what it does.

I have a feeling that by the time she's 2, she will be taking apart all of the appliances and putting them back together again.

She really does take after her Dad.

Kick Off Your Sunday Shoes

I have a very wiggly baby indeed, so I took the opportunity during a nappy change to record one of her "dances". I spruced it up a bit with some editing and some background music and here is the result.

Enjoy..

 

We have also nicknamed her Calleigh Flatley for her Lord of the Dance impressions.
