Just taking a break

This is Abi smiling for the camera. Cheeky face.

Helping myself

Since Abi has learnt to stand she can also help herself to m
ore and despite having had her tea. When i sat down to my tea she came over and stood up and reached over to help herself so ste got her a plate and we put some tea on it but she still prefered to help herself. But when daddy came in with his chips off she went again.

When can i have a car

Mummy and daddy took me to Emily's birthday party today i liked Emily's car but want to know when i can drive.

Like father like daughter

trampolene

As Abi has been standing we decided to build her trampoline to try and help her with her balance. But Abi wanted to help daddy build it. As you can see abi has not had any problems learning how to use it

Cuddle time

Not sure if she understands or just a coincidence but Abi cuddled my bump today.
Ste has been back to Dr's and allowed back to work but is starting to reduce his steroids so has to go back if he gets any symptoms again.

Garden

After a lot of hard work and a final push this week we have last have a garden we feel we can use and enjoy. Although the bottom still needs a bit of tidying and ste would like to put deckimg over the concreate at the top it is a 100% improvement on what we started with and Abi has a garden to play in, macy also approves. But ste has been warned off starting anything else this year or at least until wwe have turned the spare room in to Abigails room.

I cant reach

I always go in to Abigail last thing before i go to bed to check on her and cover her up. I always give her a kiss goodnight but all of a sudden i cant seem to reach her to give her a goodnight kiss.

Uncle Peters Birthday

Grandma and Uncle Peter came round for tea to celebrate Uncle Peters Birthday its not till sundaybut mummies away with the songsters so we celebrated today. As you can see i helped him open his presents but best of all i got some of his birthday cake.

How does she now

As it was so nice we took Abi to a nearby park had a walk round the animals and then headed for the playground. We took Abi to the swings but we were not sure how she would like them as she had never been before. Abi was in her element but most amazing of all she seemed to now how to keep the swing moving by tilting back and forward and moving her legs. But how does she know ste asked his mum but she defiantly hasn't been before. We then brought her a ice cream cone and at first she didn't no want to do and was wearing it but soon got the hang even biting the cone eating the ice cream and taking the cone out of her mouth.

Most definatley counting our blessings

After a couple of weeks of concern over ste he had started feeling a bit better. But today we headed to broadgreen to see a consultant. He was very nice and explained things to us, Ste had to have another chest xray and the lymph nodes are still enlarged. He defiantly has sacoid but they dont no how people get it and there is no cure for it but in most case it goes. Because ste has a bad cough which is probably due to his asthma he did give him steroids which should help that as well as the rash on his legs. Ste goes back in four weeks and if the rash is the same he will send him to a dermatologist. But in him self he is a lot better the pain in his joints has improved the main thing is a cough. But things are improving and at least we now what is likely to happen now and the uncertain has gone. So once again i have a lot to be thankful for and most of all for the fact that Jesus has been the source of all i have needed the last few days.

Copycat

Abi is such a copycat and we are carefully what we do and say round her now but she is so funny at times. She has started blowing on her food even when its not hot as we often blow on things before we give her hot food. But her latest even beats that Ste has been cough a lot lately and she has in the past had a fake cough after she had a real one and my mum would say oh that's a bad cough she continued with it but not recently. But on Friday while at Ste mum and dad they couldn't work out what she was doing first but then realised she had hold of a wipe and Ste mum thought she was just wiping her face but she was actually putting it to her mouth and imitating Ste coughing.

Then as Ste was playing with her she was coping him waving clapping and when he started coughing she was also doing that. But last night she was playing the same coping daddy but this time when he started coughing she passed him his handkerchief cute or what,

Animals

We took Abi to the safari park again and this time she was quite happy to sit on my lap and look out the windows it was much busier this time but we did see some animals we didnt last time. Abi wasnt a bit intemidated by the amimal and even when an ostrich came right up to the window she wasnt bothered only that daddy had shut the window.

Updating my blog

Finding her feet

Although early days Abi has discovered her feet are for more than pulling socks off and has started trying to stand but only to push a pram or buggy. But it is progress Macy moves very quickly out of her way when he sees her pushing the buggy on her knees/ When distracted by the tv or playing she will stand for a while unsupported then suddenly she realises and sits down with a bump.
