Oh Dear.......

Oh Dear,

I just cant believe how quickly Olivia has decided she needs to keep up with her sisters. In the last week or two she has managed to: sit up from a lying down position quite capably, now sits up confidently (falls over occassionally but usually only when there is something distracting her), got her second bottom tooth and, to my horror, is climbing her way up things. She seems to think she can do this on anything and often chooses legs on chairs or something thin to climb up, gets halfway up and then gets the wobbles. Consequently she has had lots of bumps things week. When she does manage to find something wider to climb - like in the top photos, or like the sides of her cot, she gets up quite quickly and easily. Its just the getting down bit that is beating her at the moment.

So, the top three photos are from when we went to a playcentre this week for the older two to have a run around. You need to watch the photos from the bottom up - Olivia climbing up, accidently letting go and freaking out (she is definitly not standing by herself, this was just a very well timed photo), and her sheepish grin when she caught the toy on the way down.

The other two photos - All three girls on the boat when we took it out the other day - Annabelle in the middle, and Olivia enjoying the sand.
