Week 23 & 24
Well it has been a quieter
fortnight, Finaly and Annie went to Yoga now that it has started
again after the summer break. A lot of their friends have moved
up a group so it is all new faces. But Finlay still enjoys the yoga
very much, and it seems to calm him down when we do it with him
of an evening.
Claire & Charley
came round later in the week and what with Charley being more mobile
now it has reminded us we are going to need to "child proof"
the house.
The weekend saw us harvesting
more of our potato crop, which Finlay has been enjoying as part
of his exploration into the realms of solid-foods, still pureed
at this stage, but peach and mango seems to be a bigger hit than
broccoli and cauliflower (just like his Dad then).
This last week we had
the health visitor appointment, he now weighs 15 lb 9 oz (7.1 kg)
and is 66 cm long. He has grown out of all of his 0-3 month clothes,
and is working through the 3-6 month collection we have.
Annie hosted an NCT coffee
afternoon and walk here on Wednesday, with lots of mums and babies
coming around. Unfortunately it was raining, but it dried up while
everyone was having tea and cakes, so they could get out for a walk
afterwards.
Annie also had her first
trip to the local village mothers and toddlers group. Finlay got
to play with lots of new toys, and meet new playmates, and Annie
recognised some of the other mums from baby yoga.
This last weekend we
decided to go on adventures north...
We went to the Macduff Aquarium where there were lots of fish, and
jellyfish and an octopus to keep Finlay amused. Then we stopped
of to go exploring for a stone circle marked on the map, just off
the Buchan & Formatine railway line further north. We pushed
the buggy as far as we could go, then when we got to a style, we
unhitched Finlay's seat and carried him. At the stone circle there
was a nice large flat stone to sit Finlay on while we all had a
rest.
Back in the car again
we headed over to the disused airfield where we watched the motor
racing. There were stock cars, and minis, and hot rods and banger
racing. Finlay loved watching the cars scream past. Nik was a little
worried when a wheel flew off and bounced to a halt 5m from the
car bonnet!! (Nik exagerates!!)
Then on Sunday we walked
the railway line from Udny Station back home, with the Sea Cadets
who were doing it as a sponsored walk. And in the evening Ashley
and Dave lent us their bike chariot - so next week we'll take Finlay
out for a ride and trail him behind in the chariot.
