Well, I certainly didn't think the next time I posted on lj I would be talking about planning her first birthday party, but here I am and that's what I'm doing! It's six weeks til her birthday and we'll be having a big party at James' parents house. I've said it all the way through but I can't believe that she's almost one already! She's walking without any help whatsoever ALL over the place and loving it! She says "muma" about 200 times a day (but it loses it's charm a tiny bit when she calls daddy it and grandma and granddad and the hover...). It's all going pretty good for us at the moment, we had a bad patch for a couple of months with the credit crash and James losing his job and not being able to find another for two months (construction work is dead, espically his kind because he only works on big builds) but he's doing lots of temp work now.
I also got myself back into college and I'm doing a Law foundation in the evenings. It's actually really interesting and I'm really enjoying it, debate and lots of English lit stuff! It's nice to have an evening that's mine and full of adult conversation! The homework is a bit hard some weeks to fit into everything else but so far I'm managing. I'm applying all over the place for a full-time law degree for next year, if I get it I'll get some great childcare grants as well, so I'm really looking forward to it.
And now a couple of my friends have come over and we're going to make our wedding invitations! I went ebay MAD and bought feathers and ribbon and bows and craft glue and pretty paper and cards galore. Now we just have to make them stick together prettily. The plans are going quite well, I don't know what to do for my hen night, but I found my dress! and bought the bridesmaid dresses and the boys have picked their tails to wear, so, full-steam ahead! Only six months and counting........ eck.
It's almost Christmas again, blah.
.
She now has 7 teeth and loooves toast to chew.
With my sisters and some friends on my birthday in August, they took us to the seaside! (Sophie will NOT walk on sand)
My sister abusing her!
Out to lunch with my friend Sam and her baby Alex (we have promised them to each other, James spent the entire time telling him to "watch himself")
My favourite hat (and person) in the whoooole world.
