Awww

Babychair just loves being bathed. Deckchair washed her hair first, while I took pictures and we were surprised at how quiet she was.

Even after she was fully placed in the water, she just looked around with her big beautiful blue eyes with surprise. She had a bit of a kick and seemed so content to be in the bath.

Our little water baby

This might sound like such a small thing to most people but I had my first solo trip with Babychair out of the house today.

We went to Meadowhall and spent the £20 gift voucher my parents friends had very kindly given us. I wanted Babychair to have a little outfit that both was girly and actually fitted her, in time for our weekend visit to the inlaws. I bought a little two piece, a cream top with long sleeves and a pink dress with ruffles and dots.

The trip there was uneventful, though I couldn't get in any of the children and parents spaces and I ended up struggling to get Babychair out of her carseat in a regular space and I had to set the pram up in the main flow of the car park.

I was even less pleased when I returned to the car park after completing our trip and saw two sets of parents with teenagers packing into and leaving the parent and child spaces...grrrr. Even the signs said specifically that only children in pushchairs should use those spaces.

Once released from the car, I struggled to get the pram moving in the right direction, until I remembered to unlock the front wheels blush

After that it was plain sailing, Babychair slept though the shopping trip, which involved a trip to both floors of the Mothercare shop and a visit to a cafe for a soft drink and chocolate cookie (naughty me)

Our first successful solo trip, next items on the list are changing nappies and feeding Babychair on outings....well maybe we can put these off for a while.

Maybe I should just stay in the house for the next couple of years !!!

Well, with the arrival of Babychair and the unexpected stay in hospital, this blog has been very quiet of late.

I am going to be updating events from the last nine days over the next couple of days, so it is worth looking back over the past dates for magically appearing entries and photos.

Speaking of which I STILL need to add my wedding and honeymoon entries to my blog from November 2005 !!!
