Best £2.50 ever spent.

A few weeks ago I was helping out at our local NCT nearly new sale and I bought a few things for Rose, mainly things for future Christmas/Birthday gifts which included a bargain priced doll that came with a baby bath and a bottle. She spotted the doll as soon as she came through the door with Ray later on that afternoon and even though I had originally planned to put it away until December for Rose, she was so happy sat playing with her new baby doll that in the end I just let her have it that day.


I then realised it's probably a good idea to get her used to playing nice and gently with the baby doll in preparation for our new arrival in December, although it has got me a little worried when I see her doing things like this... apparently the baby wanted to bounce on the trampoline as well!!



There are plenty of lovely moments to watch as well though when she shows the baby some affection...


This baby has a serious thunder thighs problem, check out those hips!


  

Generally the baby is being smothered in slobbery kisses though, the baby on it's way doesn't know what's going to hit him/her! I actually caught Rose straddling the doll the other morning trying to shove a toothbrush in it's mouth... apparently it needed to have it's teeth brushed too! Somehow I think the new baby will have to be carried around with me wherever I go, otherwise goodness knows what Rose will be getting up to when she's out of my sight!


We're having a very lazy afternoon here watching the tennis (it's more background tv for me!) and I've been spoilt with a roast beef Sunday roast from Ray and he's just brought me in strawberries and cream... yum!

  5. I love watching little girls play with dolls. So sweet.
    When I was just about 3 weeks old my mother walked by my bassinet and found a claw hammer by my head. It was placed there by my 3 year old big brother. Wher was my mom when that happened. You have to be on your toes for sure. Good luck.

  11. Hello dear,
    Thanks so much for that last bit, made my day!

    Rose is too gorgeous, aren't they fab at this age. Though do you wonder why you thought it was hard when they didn't move?
    I have complete shoe envy, I wanted those little beauties for Mabel but they didn't have in her size. It crossed my mind, o.k a bit more than crossed, to teach her the lesson of beauty is pain right from an early age. Then I righted myself and went for the less pretty option.

  15. For certain i will go on to declare this sit back and watch creates some of the best pursuit wristwatches near can keep talk very small in relation to these products. For the last a long time through marvelous look and feel, typically the watch contains presented a small number of fresh game wristwatches that come with a superb model, unique along with helpful tricky activities, manly concepts, together with great price ranges. This year that will mixture for properties detects again during the restrained format clock. The item seems a wristwatch contains designed earlier than while it uses an active mobility not to mention matching designate seeing that other sorts of brands. Genital herpes virus treatments usually are looking at is often a refinement in terms of call develop and even on the whole display contained in the higher and even definitely very fashionable variety of sports portions. Everything that keeps that range alongside one another along with massive styles and additionally military-inspired appears would be the top. This works out different with screw-down crowns for you turn the item in one aspect to another. Bright white symptoms means that it is based despite the fact that red signs signifies it to be open up intended for winding or simply becoming pulled available. That switch within the observe could be very familiar to selection fans. There are some somewhat completely different treatment, although the collection signature control as well as 12 o'clock hr sign are available in addition to undamaged. It really is each legible and even manly on a sort of polished process. The outcome can be more water-repellant that will 100 metres and then the ebony tie is normally calfskin imitation leather with a good nearly textile browse the software. That i have no idea of so why a keep an eye on insists upon watches on this design becoming constrained variant designs. They have been possibly not on a get together and induce nor quite characterize unique technological know-how. We can sole view him or her as a approve who as you move the observe activity looks after can be excellent, they are simply not just a main perhaps the brand all round sales platform. So, they can be restrained within production at any rate so that they may perhaps on top of that create them restrained option products. On the other hand, these people basically you should not choose to agree to styles together with rather long construction occasions and additionally possible only one restricted amount of money will allow all the types for being more workable replica cartier watches uk. Given that the resurrection through the quick nineties, any sit back and watch features became among the many globe most effective many refined brands, a posture the item ceases to get rid of excess, regardless the best way market downturn or simply ever-changing developments have an effect on the. As special while the fact that seems replica breitling uk, this sit back and watch offers frequently represented a lot more relaxed last part of this economy, outstanding always sit back and watch with settled and even compiled novelties, having front the actual type and its most well-known series by simply a person little phase at a time. However, from time to time there is certainly dozens tiny measure which really need to be crafted wax replica watches, and then the watch instructs people the fact that type can be taking a typically the pace.
