Hello! It's me Little Phoebe. Grandpa and Grandma look after me every Wednesday and Thursday now that Mummy is back at work. Grandpa says that I would win an Olympic gold medal if they had a crawling event for babies like me.
I like crawling. It's much safer than trying to walk like a grown up - up on your feet. I only like to walk when somebody is holding my hands. I feel much safer that way. When I try to do it on my own I am a bit wobbly and it is so easy to fall over with a bump!
Everybody agrees that I will be walking indeupendelberry on my own very soon and that's why Big Grandpa wanted to take pictures of me crawling around yesterday afternoon.
In the next picture you can see me standing up at the bottom of the big hill that leads to a magical land called Upstairs where my teddy bear Charlie lives. I like Upstairs because you can have bubble baths there and you can look out of the window and just be happy watching the world pass by. I like to say "Dat!" and point at the cars because I am only a little girl.
Love,
Phoebe

Awww, she is motoring along so well. Such gorgeous eyes!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous bright light in the grey pandmeic.
DeleteLucky that grandma and grandpa speak fluent phoebese.
ReplyDeleteIt is a difficult language to master.
DeleteOh, Phoebe! You are a darling little girl. Everyone adores you, especially your Grandpa. 🧸
ReplyDeleteHerro Jennifer! I mush hadmit Iyam adowrouble!
DeletePhoebe, you are one cute little girl. I hope Grandpa spoils you!
ReplyDeleteYes he does Mr Red!
DeleteYour Grandma and Grandpas house looks very white and clean, little Phoebe. Ideally you can add toddler art to the walls: mashed banana is great or crayon. A nice doggo to follow up and down stairs would be wonderful, too!
ReplyDeleteKeep growing and you will soon be able to teach Gramps to use a smart phone. Good luck with that!
Yes, good luck indeed! His fingers are like bananas!
DeleteOh, Phoebe. You really, really are the cat’s meow! I’ll bet you give the best hugs and kisses to your Grandma and Grandpa.
ReplyDeleteI am pleased that she has stopped grabbing at our faces now. She was threatening to rip them off!
DeleteOh my goodness she's grown so much! She is a lovely little girl and I'm sure she has grandpa wrapped around her little finger:)
ReplyDeleteI am her devoted servant... just like Grandma.
DeleteAwww, what a cutie pie! She'll be walking soon enough, then running and before you know it the baby will be a little girl filled with What? and Why?
ReplyDeleteIt all passes so quickly doesn't it River?
DeleteAaaaaw!!
ReplyDeleteI bet Charlie loves Wednesdays and Thursdays as much as Lord and Lady Pudding do.
Charlie is sad when Phoebe is not here.
DeleteGorgeous little girl. You might want to get some of those mock plug socket thingys before she gets much older though!! Just checked...there is still one in the socket behind me from probably 40 years ago!
ReplyDeleteThat is a good idea Frances. We can't watch her all the time.
DeleteShe'll soon be running around causing all sorts of heart-stopping moments.
ReplyDeleteSmall children often show little sense of danger as they explore.
DeleteSo cute. It's a case of having to move dangerous or breakable objects up high out of reach from now on. Once she can walk, it's just a case of when she'll announce she'll go backpacking around Vietnam - the time will come so quickly, believe me, so enjoy it while you can!
ReplyDeleteI don't expect her to go backpacking around South East Asia until she's at least four.
DeleteOh, she's still so beautiful, but almost a little girl - no longer a baby!
ReplyDeleteWill Grandpa go backpacking with her - she'll need someone to carry her rucksack and make up the shortfall on her pocket money.
And to keep predatory young males at bay. She can push my wheelchair too.
DeleteShe is such a doll. She'll be walking soon and then life as her parents know it will be over.
ReplyDeleteTo prevent accidents she will need to have a kennel and a short chain. That should do the trick.
Delete"I am only a little girl" - self-esteem issues?
ReplyDeletePossibly, Sigmund.
DeleteVery cute. Oh, and clever font usage. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve but I wouldn't say that I was cute... more rugged, like John Wayne.
DeletePhoebe is gorgeous! My favourite early childhood memories spring from the days my grandmother watched me while my parents worked. Those lovely photographs will help revive those happy memories for her one day.
ReplyDeleteKind words which I appreciate Melinda.
DeleteYou're a heartbreaker in the making, Phoebe.
ReplyDeleteHappy days for all of you ;)
