Oh my goodness
I’m appalled at how long it’s been since I last posted.
Evie has turned one, started walking and all sorts since I last updated. She took her first step when she was about 13 months old, and I thought it would be a few days before she did more than that. But no. She didn’t really start walking properly until last week when she was about 15.5 months old! Now it’s very cute to see her toddling around, although sometimes she just gets too excited and falls over (which is also cute as long as it’s in a carpeted area!).
Food wise, she’s still doing really well. She’ll eat pretty much anything you put in front of her, and she absolutely LOVES eating out. She likes to watch everyone else, and she’s so smiley that she’s always the centre of attention – which she also loves. Our current favourite place to eat is a local pub that’s part of the Table Table chain. I’m not a big fan of children’s menus in general – I don’t see why they should just get burgers and chips all the time – so Evie just eats some of my food, or gets her own starter or something like that. Well, last time we went, I ordered pasta for me, and a beetroot and feta tart for Evie. Yeah, I know that you’re all laughing at me, because beetroot isn’t really a great choice for a toddler. I knew there was a reason she’d never had it, and as soon as she started mushing it into her hair, I remembered. Beetroot stains. A LOT. Well, everyone had fun laughing at us, and she did seem to enjoy the bits she managed to eat.

It’s been ages again. It’s because i don’t always get round to taking and uploading photos, and then I think that blog posts are much more interesting with photos, so I don’t bother to post.
Anyhow. I’ve been mainly knitting recently, partly because my eyesight just isn’t up to stitching in the evenings. And I’m only 32. That’s really not fair. But I did buy a daylight bulb that helps a LOT. It’s about as bright as your average floodlights on a football pitch, so it’s not exactly subtle, but that’s not the point. Because I’ve been mainly stitching, I have been spending rather too much time on Ravelry – it’s just really, really addictive. I’ve been doing a bit of knitting for the prem baby units, and some for Evie too. But like I said, no photos at present, but I will get round to that eventually.
In other things – Evie is walking – yay for Evie, and she’s doing it really well now. Except when she gets too excited. I’m getting used to being back at work, and even enjoying some shifts. We’re also starting to think a bit more seriously about the house extension, and will probably be getting the architect in some time soon.
