First trip to the beach...

While we were down in Devon for your birthday we took you to Crow Point for your very first beach experience. We were lucky with the weather and you loved crawling around in the sand.

On the way back Daddy gave you a ride on his shoulders and you were holding on his hair and then started to pat his head.

Center Parcs: Swimming

While we were at Center Parcs we took you swimming for the very first time! After the initial shock where you cried for most of the time, you seemed to really enjoy it second time round.

Center Parcs: Going bowling!

On the last evening of our time at Center Parcs we brought you along bowling with us. I bet you wondered where an earth we had taken you!

If memory serves, I think your Dad won the first game and Uncle Phil the second.

Center Parcs: Making a cast

While we were at Center Parcs I wanted to 'make a memory' so we went along to the pottery barn and had your hands made into a cast and your feet imprinted in paint on a tile.

  

And these were the finished results:

When I first saw the hands I got a little emotional! Running your hand over them they feel just like your hands (obviously!) but it will be lovely in years to come to look back at it.

Center Parcs: Whinfell Forest

This is where we brought you for your very first holiday.

We stayed in an executive lodge with Mum and Uncle Phil. The weather was very warm but it did rain. You were intrigued with all the ducks (and ducklings!) which were waddling around on the loose!

This holiday was also significant in the fact it was just after Uncle Phil finished the last of his exams at school and it was the last week of my maternity leave.

Visiting Granddad & Pat...

We went down to Devon for Easter and while we were there we dropped in on your great Granddad and Pat.

We had lunch with them first at the William's Arms and then went back to theirs for a cup of tea.
