Jumping baby

Lana soon got the hang of her trampoline and uses it as a climbing platform as well as for jumping (and teething) and chasing golf balls around the house!

Lana's first Christmas

We had a wonderful day for Lana's first Christmas - the boxes, paper and tree decorations providing just as much fun and entertainment as all of her fabulous gifts. All of our friends and family were very generous, and made our first family Christmas extra special. And of course she looked just adorable in her Santa-baby outfit!



Lana got a baby trampoline from Santa, which she managed to climb up onto almost instantly - then used it for teething and playing with her boxes rather than jumping!

A real day out at London Aquarium

We met up with Gill, Jules, Reba and baby Isa in London just before Christmas for a lovely lunch and a fabulous afternoon at London Aquarium. It was a very impressive aquarium and we were all mesmerised...so much so that Lana was sound asleep by the time we tried to take her first London tourist photo with Big Ben!

Bath-time!

Whilst staying at Granny and Grandpa's, Lana got the chance to share her bath with cousins Oran and Gregor. By the amount of spashing and the number of smiles, we think they all had a great time.

'Day out' at Deep Sea World

Ross and I took Lana for a 'day out' to Deep Sea World back in November. Unfortunately, it was more of an hour out than a day out, which was a huge disappointment...but at least Lana had fun driving the car!

Merry Christmas...Happy New Year...

I know...its a bit belated but having noticed that we haven't posted anything since November has made us realise that you've missed quite a lot!

A lot has happened in the last couple of months, some happy and some sad, but we are looking forward to a bright and exciting 2010 and hope to share the fun with you.

I will do a bit of back-tracking to get you up to date with where we are and what we are up to, and hope that you enjoy looking at the photos of our recent adventures.
