Lana movies - walking!

Lana has been trying to 'walk' for a little while now, but today she really showed off her skills for the camera. She has the strength in her legs - its her making all the movement and putting one foot in front of the other (!), she just needs the balance to be able to do it alone. Once she's able to get herself up there will be no stopping her, although at the moment she's only able to roll onto one side so we may have a bit of time before we have to baby-proof the house! Apologies for the orientation of the film - ooops.

Fife show

Yesterday Lana and I went to the Fife show to see Abbie riding Mindy in the lead rein class where she came an amazing 3rd place. We were all thrilled, especially after all the hard work that Carol had put in (just check out the matching outfits!) Lana enjoyed lots of cuddles with Vics too.

Lana's first wedding

On Sunday 3rd May we attended our first wedding as a family - Giselle and Satish got married in Leicester, in part-English part-Indian style. After the ceremony and drinks reception, they dashed off to change into traditional Indian dress - very Bollywood!

Lana movies - splish splash

Lana loves her bath time and spends most of her time splashing around, this movie gives an insight into her splish splash fun, but thankfully this time she didn't manage to soak us as well! This was taken when we went down to Leicester for Giselle & Sats' wedding (photos in a separate post).

Lana movies - chitter chatter

We started trying to take some movies of Lana's behaviour so that you can really see what she's like. Lana has been quite 'chatty' for quite a while now, but she's been camera shy when it comes to sharing! These were taken about a month ago.

Gregor's Christening - family gathering

We all congregated at Granny and Grandpa's for Gregor's Christening on the 17th May, giving Lana a chance for cuddles with with everyone and time to meet cousin Oran.

Playtime

Lana is getting more and more inquisitive with her toys and learning to bash them about and direct them to her mouth - its really great fun to watch her!

Taking Lana out walking

I've been out walking with Lana quite a bit (trying to lose the pregnancy blubber), so it was nice for Lana to take Ross out for a walk in the sunshine!
