How quickly they grow up!

Ms Wong has gone from walking and toddling around to running! But she does fall over a lot and has a nice bruise on her forehead! I hope it heals before we see our GP on Friday! I don't want to introduce Isabella covered in bruises but she is an active toddler, so I guess its inevitable.




This is a picture of Isabella running around in Greenwich park.

She is growing up so quickly. She is trying to feed herself and manages with finger foods but hasn't quite got the spoon co-ordination as yet! Here is a picture of Isabella trying to feed herself her congee. It got very messy!


We even managed a 2.5 mile run mid week, she loved it and fell asleep for most of the trip! But it is a lot harder than running by yourself. I am sure its a way to get fitter more quickly! I will build up my mileage slowly! I cant imagine running 10+ miles with it yet. We will aim for 3-4 miles mid week to see how we get on.

Poor Ella has a cold, so has been quite clingy today, I am not surprised as she is now being exposed to virus's she hasn't been exposed to before. I imagine when we start taking her to the toddler gym and eventually nursery she will be going down with a lot more colds!

She is getting so attached to Ba Ba, its lovely to see, she is always going up to him and throwing her arms around him for a kiss and cuddle. She really is such an affectionate little girl. I am making the most of it, as it wont be like this when she gets older! Today they are going on their first solo outing! Its only to the supermarket which is across the road, so I have my mobile on standby in case I get called. But its such progress for her to spend time away confidently without Ma Ma and shows how much she is now attached to her Daddy.

Also I want to wish good luck to the other soon to be Baise Mummy's. M has flow out on Friday to adopt her little girl and J is getting ready to fly next week. Its so lovely to be in contact with Isabella's crib mates.

Also for all those people I owe emails too! I am slowly cathing up! And will contact you soon:)

Thanks for all the new photos and on the group.You won'tever stop worrying about Ellas bumps,bruises or illnesses...gosh I've been through a whole list!! My little fella has had the most accidents and he tripped and fell down the stairs a couple of months ago and has a mark that won't go away! Its scary at times and we've always been so careful!!
Anyway not to make you too paranoid...just enjoy as they grow too fast.So Happy for you..HuuuGS
