The Great Outdoors

 Louie's walking is coming on so well now. He really is sturdy and very confident. On Friday morning, he saw Papa go outside and he wanted to follow, standing sheepishly at the door in his pyjamas. Mama found him some booties and his poncho and away he went on his first venture outside on foot! And check out his BEAUTIFUL poncho!

So the other day I went to John Lewis and treated myself to this beautiful fabric with some money I was given for Christmas. I saw it when I was in with Anna and fell in love! It is quite simple but I love the colour and I love all the little birdies on it :) Although it is just standard cotton, I am going to go ahead with my plans to use it for a bag, it will need lining though (and Nana thinks she has something perfect in the attic so that is wonderful!). 

Louie has now discovered that it is wonderful to tip his ball pit/tent up and on itself! He thinks it is rather fun to chase the balls around the floor as opposed to playing in the tent. (Much to Papa's dismay as he is the one to clear it all up! Tee hee!)

Just showing off my walking boy wearing his Jungle Fever Cushie Tushie!

 This evening I finished off my little project of a needle case. I went really quite wrong and used the cardboard the wrong way around so you can see that I used a box of Asda's 'Ready Oats' which is a shame, but it will be fine and do the trick. At least I will have learnt from my mistake.

As you can see it looks fine from the inside, with all the needles all pretty and straight :)

Garage

 Louie's Christmas present from Mama and Papa was his lovely wooden garage. He loves it! He really is playing so nicely now, and is very interested in putting things in and taking things out, putting lids on and things like that. The most precious thing about the garage was when we were putting it together. Louie was so interested in the screwdriver that that was all he played with all evening. He went around all of the screws trying to use the screwdriver, and he had it all right. He really does amaze me how bright he is and the little things he does each day. Yesterday we visited his nursery for the first time, they gave all the little ones toast and their cups. Louie wasn't interested in the toast but went round and put all the lids on each of the cups. 

Children really are so magical!

Oh and check Louie out in his big boy PJs now!
