schmumpy meets the lake...



Well, there will be more photos on facebook as it's easier to upload them to there... but here is a taster!

We've just gotten back from spending a week at a cottage on a lake, and it was FANTASTIC. (equally fantastic was the fact that the grandparents and eden came back a day early so phil and i could canoe, paddleboat and walk to our hearts content without worrying about naps, etc).

This week eden went on his first canoe ride...he wasn't so thrilled about the life jacket experience (it was SO tight on him, but the next size up was too big)..but was pacified when he realised he could lean over the side and run his fingers through the water. He also went on the back of a paddleboat...and of course 'swam' by sitting in his little floating chair. The first time i didn't think about aclimatising him to the cold water...and so it went far better the second time.


The night he came home with my parents he decided it was high time to learn how to crawl! As well as sit up whenever he chooses....

anyway he seems to have woken up just as i picked up the computer so i'll say goodbye for now!

I love the floaty thing - what a brilliant idea. really looking forward to seeing Eden on the move. we are going to have to do something radical with our house as it isn't Eden proof now he's mobile - eeek! can't wait to see you all again. lots of love
