DAY TWELVE

Joshua just seems so grown up now. This week we've gone out on foot a lot and left his pram at home. He's done so well and is finally accepting that he has to hold our hands.
This morning we went for a walk in the park in the bitter cold weather. On the way home though, he was sick all over his coat and woke up from his nap with a fever of 39.4C.

DAY ELEVEN

I've spent all evening baking and decorating this cake. I put a lot of effort into making cakes for other people's birthdays, so decided that I needed to treat myself too. It didn't come out exactly as planned, but I'm quite pleased with my birthday cake. Now I just need to decide whether to eat it tomorrow or on Sunday when I turn, eek, 31!

DAY TEN

Joshua and I had a lovely day today with lots of playing and going out.
On the way home, I finally posted my Mum's birthday card. It's on its way to Brazil and I hope it arrives on time for the 8th of Feb.

DAY NINE

Today was a sofa day for me. I spent the day feeling unwell and with a headache. Towards the end of the day, despite the drugs I seemed worse, so had an early night.

DAY EIGHT

This morning I took Joshua to the playgroup at the Church around the corner. We had never been there before but it was great fun. There were lots and lots of toys to play with and Joshua was kept busy all morning.
I definitely want to take Joshua to these groups more often as it's a great way for him (and his Mummy) to make friends.

DAY SEVEN

I was cleaning the loft today and came across one of my sewing machines. I have a couple of clothes that I need to take up the hem on, and a few other 'creations' waiting to be made. It's just so heavy to keep moving around though and with Joshua around, I can't just set it up and leave it.
We might have to invest in a small table for our loft/ spare room.

DAY SIX

It rained all night and then it rained all day, Joshua never got a chance to go out and play.
