Today we went with Grandma and Grandad to Markeaton park in Derby. There was a huge paddling pool that was very cold but you and Grandma went in anyway! There were even some donkeys and Isabelle had a ride on one. It was a very hot day so you enjoyed a lovely ice cream too!
We’ve had a lovely day today. This morning we went along to a park where they had a big climbing tower for Isabelle. Afterwards we want in to town and met Nana, who bought you an ice cream.
Finally we went and got you your first haircut!
We nipped in to a toy shop too where we found a rocking horse for you and lots of books for Isabelle.
After breakfast we went for a long walk around the island. We saw a beautiful peacock and walked the length of the island and back again. Afterwards Isabelle went to the top of the castle with Daddy!
Today we stayed on Brownsea island, Isabelle spent most of the day playing on the beech. She enjoyed jumping as far off the wall and in to the sand. We had afternoon tea on the lawn and a cheeky red squirrel came and pinched mummy’s coconut cake!
Today we had an exciting start to our day off the island-we caught a chain ferry at Sandbanks over to Studland where we drove to Monkey World. It was a very hot day and even the monkeys had frozen ice lollies!
Today we made it on to the island…well, mummy, Isabelle and Jessica did-Daddy had to catch a later boat because he was busy looking for a car parking space at Sandbanks! Once we got on to the island it was time for afternoon tea. Isabelle headed straight down to the beach and for a paddle in the sea!
Mummy has been back at work for about 9 weeks now and you are growing up so quickly. You keep trying to go up on to all fours to crawl but haven’t quite managed it yet. You’ve got two teeth and I think we will need to go and get your hair cut very soon!
This week your first tooth made an appearance-which is perfect timing as you love your food. Bread especially (I think because you can hold it) garlic pitta, breadsticks and rice cakes are favourites!
Tonight we tested out your new bath seat-it meant you could have your first bath together which Isabelle found very amusing!
I also had some exciting news this week-I’m going to start working for Waitrose when a new store opens in a few weeks time! There’s going to be lots of change!
We went to celebrate Daddy’s Birthday at Nana’s house today. We took some photos of the four generations on the Brown/Bruce side of the family. We were also celebrating my new job-instead of going back to John Lewis when my maternity leave ends I’ll be joining Waitrose. There’s a new store opening up just down the road and I’m going to be the Operations manager there-exciting changes are ahead of us!
