A new toy

We bought Alice a new box for her toys at the weekend. The front room was starting to look like a toy shop.

Not too many pictures recently as we've been having a trying time with her. She's decided she doesn't want to eat and screams when we bring the bottle anywhere near her mouth. The Health Visitor thinks it's developmental and says that at around 16 weeks they tend to have a bad patch and come out of it around 20 weeks. Hurrah!! Quite a few people have suggested she may be teething. If she is, we do hope this tooth comes through soon, so we can get her back on track again. If only they could talk and tell us what's wrong.

Sunday best

Had to quickly share this one. It was a happy moment from today. Pauline is just upstairs putting A to bed; not too many happy moments there!

New toys for Alice

In the last week Alice has started getting in to some more grown up toys. These contraptions are meant for babies over three months. So, she just qualifies.

We tried her on the inflatable ring a few weeks ago. Being as it's really meant for sitting up in (something she's not quite there with yet!), she didn't like it as there was no where to put her head when she got tired. However, since we've let the ring deflate a bit, she's now got the perfect lounging position.

Pauline tried out the door swing for the first time this week. Alice was a bit unsure to start with; just standing still and flailing whenever she overbalanced. It didn't take too long to get the hang of though. Now she's bouncing around just fine and enjoying every minute! But doesn't she look tiny!

That pesky foot

It can be tricky getting all those pesky limbs inside that babygrow. Alice is rapidly learning the skill of wriggling. In my defence, the holes between the poppers are almost as big as her limbs!
