Enjoying the Indian summer

In early October England experienced a minor heat wave and we were lucky enough to have a weekend of glorious sunshine on the south coast. It reached a balmy 27 degrees in Hove and I even had one last swim in the sea for the year (quite refreshing and very nice). On the Saturday we met up with some of our friends and had a picnic on the beach. We stayed out until sunset and had a great day eating, drinking and playing with the little ones.

On the prom, prom, prom!

We all went for a walk on Hove promenade the other day and Lola was looking at all the beach huts. She was checking the locks on all of them to make sure they were secure (I hope).

Here's a geat picture of me and my #1 daughter enjoying the sunshine on the beach in Hove.

16 Months!

On July 15th Lola turned 16 months old. I took the opportunity to measure our little munchkin and she is a mighty 81cm tall!

Camping it up in Sweden

The ladies and I went to see the family in sunny Sweden in July. During our 8 days there we managed to fit in a caravanning trip with Louise, Magnus and Marta as well as plaenty of time catching up with friends and family. Lola had a great time running around in the garden of her Mormor and Morfar.

Lola's First Word - Official!

Lola said her first word on May 31st and that word was....... "Mamma!" As a very proud Daddy I was actually quite dissapointed. I have been saying "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy" to her since she was a new born. There have been lot's of "Da Da Da's" but no actual "Daddy's". She nearly said "Duck" the other week while I was showing her a picture of a duck in her favourite book. But no, "Mamma" is the first official word and when she said it both Sofia and I were there (we had all just woken up) and we all looked at each other with our mouths open. A great moment!!
