Peek-a-boo

Lana has taken to playing peek-a-boo with us which she finds hilarious.

Step 1. Hide the baby
Step 2. Where's the baby?
Step 3. Checking to make sure we saw her
Step 4. Yay!
Step 5. Laugh away

Highchair

To prepare Lana for starting on solid foods, we got her a funky highchair yesterday. She's taken to this grown up phase so well that she is now refusing bottles and will only drink her milk from a cup!

Visit from Muriel

Muriel came to visit us all the way from Australia and bought Lana a gorgeous pair of Aussie Jots - handmade woollen boots. To celebrate, Lana cut her first tooth (!) which has been an interesting experience for all of us...

Friend-tastic

To commiserate my return to work this week, Hollie and Jonathan (along with Nicole and Ruth) came over for playtime (and cake!)

More play time

Lana is spending most of her time on her tummy now, so we have to use two playmats to keep her entertained, and she enjoys playing with the very colourful butterflies!

Play time

Lana is having more and more fun on her playmat, and is getting pretty good with her toys too. She seems to especially like the ball just now (sportswoman career perhaps?!)

Daddy time

Lana and Daddy had fun hanging out this week while Ross was (mostly) off work, although it was probably his least relaxing 'holiday' ever!

Extreme weather

We had very sudden and torrential rainstorm on Monday morning with masses of thunder and lightening, and HUGE hailstones as the storms passed over us. Our garden was under water in just a few minutes, but fortunately we were dry inside. Cupar was also hit by severe flooding as seen in the BBC story It seems to be a year of extreme weather - Lana was born on the day the snowstorms started, and her first visit to the nursery was a rather damp one as we rushed to beat the rain before it started again!

Ross' graduation ceremony

Ross graduated from Dundee Business School this week with a Masters in Business Administration (Human Resource Management) at the Caird Hall in Dundee. We had a great day being very proud of him, and Granny came down to celebrate with us.

Tummy time!

Lana absolutely loves being on her tummy now (it also seems to be her favourite sleeping position) and is rolling about all over the place - she is frequently ending up across the room when we put her on her playmat or a blanket!

Auntie Julie visits

Auntie Julie came to visit two weeks ago and we had a lovely day hanging out with Lana and getting scrummy lunch in St Andrews.

Our first trip to the beach

A couple of weeks ago Lana and I went walking at Tentsmuir with Sharon and Cerys - our first outing to the beach. It was a gloriously sunny day, and really felt like summer had arrived in Scotland!
