Crawling Babies

The time has come, that time I dreaded; Baby Lottie is crawling!  Its now 3 against one in this house and I really don’t stand a chance she isn’t doing the traditional form of crawling (you know on her knees) she just drags her self along the floor in a commando sort of way but it gets her from A to B and means she can cause a lot of trouble.  Now nothing is safe and she no longer stay still for for than a minute or 2.

Baby clothes haul!

Lottie’s growing so quickly at almost 7 months now her 3-6 month wardrobe is starting to get a little tight on her so I’m starting to get a few bits in 6-9 months as she starts fitting into them. There seems to be such a huge difference in the two sizes 6-9 months still hangs off her so the bits I’ve been getting are more A/W as before we know it it’ll be getting cold again!  So first up last week we headed to mothercare I still had some vouchers to use up that I was given when she was…
