Birthday treat, visit to Whitstable and overnight stay without Mabel. Sunday 9th and back on Monday 10th.

Been very busy with work and stuff so haven’t updated for some time, the following are obviously not written in the day and may well be out of chronological order.

Old Dad just got older….happens every year apparently

On the 4th. New words…bumble bee! ….that will be useful, in the case of spotting a bumble bee only though.

Favourite programme is “How Does That Work”….so now she knows how a Hot Air Balloon, Boat, Toilet Flush works. Now that will be useful.

Conor down for weekend of 1-2nd. No jibs for him this time! Just chilled, opposed over to see Tilly with Mabel. Cricket for a few beers after Sports Day (obstacle course again for Mrs B). Curry and more beers round the dining table, lots of chat and never got to the see a film.

Slow Sunday,

Aunty Janette gives Mabel first cut, and very nice bob too.

Drove up to see Oscar Sat 24th. Quiet eventful trip…

Welcome to the world Oscar Frankie Williams, arrived yesterday at 4pm. 8lb 13oz, looking good. Grandson No 1.

Another month. Talking a lot, making sentences…”I have dropped my boot”….”where’s Mummy gone”…..”Daddy’s beer” (not sure what the means!)

So at almost 21 months Mabel is out of nappies, apart from at night. Well done Mrs Bear for persistence and Baby Bear from being so clever.
