Rollin rollin rollin

Hollie has reached her first major physical developmental milestone! In France last week (will post that at a later date when I have figured out the photo thing!) she did her first solo roll! It was my mum who saw it and, as much as I kept my beady little eye on her, I didnt actually see her do it for a couple of days! But it was really funny to see her on her back one minute, look away, then look back and shes on her front with a really surprised look on her face as if to say 'what on earth has just happened to me?! how did I get here?!' But the funniest thing is she cant roll back yet so she gets really frustrated after a bit and needs turning.

Shes also come up with some new sounds since being in France (maybe influenced by all the singing??). I think she has discovered that you can make sounds with your lips as well as your tongue so shes doing loads of raspberry type sounds its so sweet!

Iv added a little photo of her at exactly 25 weeks (6months- v scary, not sure when that happened!)

Cornwall 2008

Well, as you can see from the picture, the weather wasnt too kind to us in Cornwall but that didnt stop us from goin out and having fun! It wasnt cold, just rainy so as soon as the sun poked itself out if we snuck out before the rain could start again. We didnt go too far because we wanted to relax but we got to St. Mawes which is a small fishing port and had lunch in a pub and we also got to the beach twice. The small village we were staying in was lovely and we wandered round there a few times and had proper cornish ice cream. For the beach we bought a little tent like shelter which was a bugger to put up in the wind (it didnt help that we chose the most exposed part of the beach!) but once it was up it was a godsend and it kind of kept the sand away from Hollie.

We spent a lot of time at the house just relaxing and watching the olympics, which Hollie loved! We had two bbqs, both of which Pete did and I had a glass of wine every night which was great (any excuse!)

One day I will find out how to get the pictures in the text so it will look better and be all hunky dorey!
