Didn't you get the dungaree memo?

Apparently Elseanne and Ivy are co-ordinating outfits now. I did wonder what Ivy was doing when she plays with my phone...

This morning we went to the village hall toddler group for a teddy bears picnic. Ivy and I took her purple monkey that Euan and I treked round Hamleys in London for when I was only 2 months pregnant to buy the new baby a present. Most expensive cuddlly toy ever- was really hoping Ivy would love it and she seems to. Decided she's big enough now to have a toy in her bed at night and last night she was asleep cuddling her monkey. Planning to keep this up- because in the next few weeks she'll have a couple of different beds and at least this is some consistency. Highlight of the morning was Ivy having a whole hall to push a plastic walker along.

Laura came round for dinner (Ivy thinks Laura is called 'lala' which is rather funny). Ivy had her first allergic reaction it seems- she ended up with red spots round her mouth- we think it was either seasme oil or soy sauce she was reacting too. My money is on Soy. Will have to do a controlled test to see. She showed Lala her piano playing skill so the keyboard is now covered in orange baby food.


Ivy has three teeth that look like they're threatening to erupt- hopefully it will either not be to distruptive to her, or they'll wait till we're back from our holidays.
