Lewis's Blog (Month 8)

Month 8

Lewis has taken to sitting up on his own this month and is enjoying his new view of the world. He has taken to playing with toys much more too, and is trying to reach out and grab things. It won't be long before he starts crawling, as he is already moving backwards on all fours, there may be trouble ahead… He is flourishing with his eating, trying anything including corn on the cob, we are hoping he likes turnips with the ton we have harvested from the garden.

Nik donned a Teletubbie suit again (any excuse) and ran the Moray half marathon. It was a scorcher of a day but Nik managed it in a superb time of 1hr 52mins. Apart from the fun of doing it, the real reason was raising money for Finlay's nursery for an outdoor play area.

We had a trip to France to see Steve and Judy, and Paddy and Don who were out at the same time. We had lots of trips to the beach making sandcastles, drawing people in the sand and playing in the sea, and a trip to a Dinosaur park where Finlay enjoyed roaring at the dinosaurs and digging for fossils. We also relaxed by the pool (in toddler terms this meant swimming, playing in the sandpit, on the swings, and generally doing anything apart from sitting still! At least Lewis was happy playing in a pink car watching his big brother, a tiring occupation in itself.

We also had a birthday party that Finlay attended at Hoodles for one of his nursery playmates plus a BBQ at one of Nik's works colleagues..
