5 minutes with Alice

I know it's been a while and there has been a lot going on but, to be honest, I've lost my blogging mojo. I mean to sit down and post something but life is busy and often gets in the way ;-). I'm going to try and improve (but then I also need to remember to take my camera with me and take photos). For now though, here are a few photos taken in 5 minutes while Alice was here. She is on the go all the time and is the sweetest little girl :)

 She finally started crawling properly a few weeks ago and has got really fast at it too!

 Walkers come in handy for pulling yourself up on and then walking while pushing them ;)

 Back down and what to do next?

 A quick game on the iPad

 Not so happy when she closes the cover and the game disappears though!  At this stage she realised I was taking photos and crawled over to see what shots I'd managed to capture - she loves looking at the photos on the screen on the back of the camera, especially when there's a baby she can wave to :)

And finally a couple of photos from the garden.

 Our rose has a few blooms on it again. I love this yellow rose and the scent is wonderful.

This was taken just before the strong winds blew most of the leaves off the acer. We've had such a beautiful display of colour on it this year.

In the evenings I have been doing some of my log cabin quilt. I think I have about another 14 squares to go and then the joining up begins. Once I get to this stage it will look more interesting and I'll be able to post some photos.

But now, I'm off to get ready to go and pick Alice up for our next day of fun together.

Cutest Tatty Teddy!

Hugh's girlfriend, Sarah, bought Alice this little Tatty Teddy snow suit before she was born and this week she was able to wear it :)  It is so soft and cuddly and Alice looked so cute in it.  The snow suit is for 3 - 6 month olds but, although a little bit big, it fits her much better than the 0 - 3 month one. Can you believe she was 10 weeks old yesterday! 

Our beautiful Tatty Teddy ;o)

 Love that little tongue

(I've put quite a few new photos on Facebook for those who are friends with me.)

 When I took the rubbish out today, I noticed the first signs of new life in the garden. The crocuses are starting to come through - yippee!! I love when this happens as it makes me think that Spring is just round the corner (in my mind, it is!!). 

Can't wait to see some colour in the garden again, this makes me very happy!!

On that note, I hope you have a wonderful weekend :)
