Got your ear!

In theory, when Ivy is playing with Euan I could be getting stuff done. In reality I just can't tear myself away from watching the two of them. They're hilarious. This photo was taken in the middle of an episode that involved Ivy: laughing at Daddy doing press-ups, using Daddy's head to push up on so she could attempt to rescue the water bottles from their plastic wrapping prison, chewing on Daddy's head and then generally trying to look all innocent whilst trying to remove Daddy's ear.

This in our hall (new features of the hall include our nice new rug and some hooks at future-toddler height) Now Ivy is capable of crawling out of a room, she's spending more and more time out in the hall- halfway between the kitchen and the living room so she can easily keep an eye on Euan and I no matter what room we're in.

Ivy and I went to put some seeds into our newly filled polytunnel bed. The soil Euan riddled is AMAZING- crumbly loveliness. The strawberries are now properly in the bed rather than in a pot ontop of it- and they have a good few flowers. Ivy managed to escape the cardboard box i'd put her in to go and draw pictures with her fingers in the dirt. She came home with her cream tights properly mockit.

Had our doctors appointment about Ivy's weight this morning- she's put on 200g in 2 weeks (what she did in the 2 months previously), so the doctor wasn't worried enough to refer us anywhere thank goodness. Will get her weighed again in a fortnight to see how she's doing. She's also grown longer (actually gone up on her centile line) and her head is so oversized the doctor measured it three times because she didn't believe her tape. I think part of her head circumference is made up of the bumps on her head- check out her huge bruise in this picture.
