All I have to share with you this Easter Sunday night is a bunch of photos of our darling granddaughter now that she has reached the age of fifteen months. How Little Phoebe has developed! She walks pretty confidently now and is forming words. One of her favourite things to do is to sit on grandpa's knee watching animated characters on YouTube singing children's songs or nursery rhymes. In fact, we have to ration her visits to the computer screen as there are other things in life apart from puppets singing "The Wheels On The Bus" or "Wind the Bobbin Up".
Phoebe and her parents have just been away for two nights - staying in a tiny cottage in Ulverston in The Lake District. It is where Stan Laurel hailed from. When she came into our house again, it was clear that she was genuinely happy to see her grandparents once more. Previously there was often a kind of puzzlement as if she had forgotten who we were. She has brought such joy and brightness into our lives and we love her very much.
Nice, and not all posed.
ReplyDeleteAll photos taken on my daughter's i-phone.
DeleteShe resembles you, YP. No joke. She really does.
ReplyDeleteYou mean she is..."Stunning"?
DeleteThe grand kids certainly do bring joy into our lives.
ReplyDeleteI had not fully anticipated this.
DeleteShe's such a happy and adorable sweetie. Having a grandson changed my life and I'm madly in love with him also. I never had a boy of my own so I'm enjoying his spirit and personality.
ReplyDeleteI must admit that boys are better than girls aren't they Margaret?
DeleteNope, I'm still hoping for a granddaughter too. We get what we get and I'm happy for it!
DeleteImpossible to explain, isn't it, how much you fall in love with these babies? She is very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI did not predict this.
DeleteWhat a sweetie! Enjoy every moment!
ReplyDeleteI will try Ellen.
DeleteHow wonderful that you get to live childhood again through a child’s eyes. Beautiful Phoebe!
ReplyDeleteYou have got it Donna. That first sentence is so true.
DeleteI love the picture of her sound asleep on a shoulder. She is dear.
ReplyDeleteAs you know, babies need their sleep. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
DeleteThe photo of her sleeping on a shoulder is utterly adorable.
ReplyDeleteAnd natural too.
DeleteSweet!
ReplyDeleteYes I am and so is Phoebe.
DeleteThat is so lovely! SHE is so lovely! This was the first time you met again since your Covid infection, right?
ReplyDeleteNo. Not right. We tested negative two weeks ago. Also - these pictures were taken by Frances or in the case of the sleeping babe by Stewart on her i-phone.
DeleteLovely. I can see that Mummy and Daddy are getting her used to backpacking on walks! She'll be nicely acclimatised by the time you start taking her YP.
ReplyDeleteI doubt she'll walk for eight miles as I often do.
DeleteAh, I thought you'd carry her - the way Stewart is!
DeleteI had not thought of that. Must be a bit thick.
DeleteLovely photos and as you all once more settle down to normal life Phoebe will dominant your life for a good while yet. Walking and talking will be the next thrill!
ReplyDeleteAt the moment she says "errrr DAT!" a lot as she points at things around her.
DeleteThat expression on her face as she sits in the ball pool is priceless! Gorgeous photos of a gorgeous girl, and, more importantly, each word and picture is testament to how loved and precious Phoebe is.
ReplyDeleteApparently, she suddenly decided that she did NOT like being in the ball pit but I guess it is better than being in a bear pit.
DeleteAh. Having a bath in the sink. A rite of passage in the North of England!
ReplyDeleteI really can see a strong resemblance to grandad pudding. Not sure you'd fit in the sink though.....😁
They were staying in a little cottage in Ulverston and it had no bath - just a shower.
DeleteOur granddaughter is almost 13 months. She is pure light in our lives. Happy for you too.
