Eve's first trip to the allotment

Now that March is here, blossom is on the trees and daffodils and crocuses are out in force I made my way over to the allotment yesterday morning as it was so sunny and fresh.

It's a half hour walk to the allotment, our plot is on top of a hill, it's usually a pretty good work out but pushing Eve in her pram on crazy off-road terrain was strenuous to say the least. But, where there's a will there's a way - I finally got her up to the top of our plot and sat down to take in the lovely view.










She woke up when we arrived so I gave her a bottle and then she promptly fell asleep in the sunshine, looking very content. I pruned my roses and did some general tidying up, weeding and wot not. Having a picnic lunch in the sunshine for the first time this year was such a treat.


The poor allotment needs some serious 'TLC', I only went up there a few times during my pregnancy as I was worried about the possibility of slipping over (which I have been known to do on the allotment quite a few times!), so I haven't done much to it for almost a year. Thankfully a friend has taken it on with me and is helping out which is great. I'm really looking forward to spending lots of time up there with Eve over the next few months now that the weather is getting better.

This afternoon Eve was weighed at the baby clinic and now weighs 10lb 14oz. She is gaining weight well and everything is good. She's sleeping for 8-10 hour slots (quite often through the night) and is generally a happy, giggly baby. 

She has started teething already and is sucking her hands and drooling a lot. She doesn't appear to be upset about it, though it did affect her feeding for a couple of days. When we feed her with the bottle now she clearly uses her hands to pull it towards her and then puts her hands on it as if to hold it.
