Olympic torch and Daddy's birthday

Another post with bits and bats:
Me and Stanley the Snail. I am able to rock myself and also sometimes climb on and off him myself!




We went to see the Olympic Torch coming to Morley
  as part of the relay across the UK. There were lots of people lining the streets and there were lots of people blowing whistles and waving flags. We were lucky that the weather was decent as we have had a lot of rain recently. We had already seen the torch in September 2011 when Sophie was 6 months old. It was in a school hall and everyone could have photos with it then.





Standing in the road! Not often we will let her dance in the middle of the road! When the procession came through before the torch bearer came there were the Coca Cola and Samsung sponser trucks playing music. Sophie had a little dance as she loves music and likes to dance along.


Sophie loves to hide behind legs and peep through.


The torch finally made it and we were lucky enough to be standing right near where they lit the next torch too.



Some Photos from Daddy's Birthday
 We had a fun day, Sophie went to nursery in the morning while Mummy and Daddy worked then we all had the afternoon off and went to the park, then for a walk in the woods and up a really steep hill to a museum. Sophie had lots of fun walking round the museum and playing with the toys thy had for children. There was an African music section which was lots of fun and also African toy animals to play with too. We then went for a coffee while Sophie had a sleep in the pram and finally we went for an Indian buffet. It claims to be the biggest Indian resturant in the world..... It was pretty big!

Looking at the birdies... She liked seeing the birds on the lake next to the playground


And pointing to the birds


Weeeeeeee.........


She is having lots of fun being able to walk about more but she is still falling over quite a bit.




We let her have a ride on the Clifford car. She had more fun before we put money in!




Waiting for naan bread in the Aakash in Cleckheaton (biggest Indian restuarant in the world apparently). Mama tried to give her some Khari as she didn't think it was spicy. Unfortuantely Sophie hated it and cried a lot! she likes Naan, Popodums, Aloo Pakoras and the fruit salad there though.


Hi Guys, we have been a bit slack recently, so this is going to be a mega post.  All Andrea's fault obviously!

Loads of Photos.....Just in case you haven't seen them, some cute ones from the Rudds' Wedding....

"Daddy, can I have one of these when I get married?"



Fairburn Ings - May

One weekend we all went out to an RSPB place near Castleford, weather was proper scorchio.  We did not know it at the time, but Sophie had Impetigo and hand, foot and mouth, which is why she is all spotty!


Checking out for birds.


Looking for Kingfishers, unsuccessfully.


Looking for Swans.


Randoms

Some more random ones to clear out of the archives for you.

Me and daddy out in the garden watering the mint.  I am just about walking properly here.

Random order, but this was us going to the Science Musuem in Manchester for Soph's bday with Grandma and Granddad.


Me and my cousin Kaden, giving me a push.

New skills

Sophie has been busy learning lots of new things. Added to her list of words she understands are: feet, hair, tummy, nose, light, clock, ball and Jingles. All the important words!!



She has also been busy learning to walk and she is getting much better. She took her first steps at a wedding on 12 May (aged nearly 14 months) and since then her confidence has been growing and she has been walking more and more. Watch out world!!
