Eve enjoying a hug with Daddy - Sunny Sunday, Lover's Walk, Bristol
Though the majority of half term has been rainy and grey, we managed to have a lovely time. Daddy was here to have lunch with Eve and I each day, which was a real treat.
She seems to be enjoying eating more and more, and I'm loving cooking up different purees.
We haven't quite moved on to any baby-led feeding yet - a piece of bread is as far as we've got. But I'm aiming to focus more on that in the next week or so now that she's liking her food.
I'm sure like most baby's, Eve does not like the clean up process after eating. She gets a bit grumpy when I wipe her face and bib.
Arthur came over for lunch with his mummy Ocky this week too. He's very cute and enjoys getting messy!
We were also very lucky that our lovely friend Laura came over with baby Agnes to look after Eve whilst Sam and I went to The Lido. It was the first time we'd been away from the baby together. Our 'date' was so good. I had a hot tub, sauna n steam with Sam for the first time in over a year. Such a delight, and really relaxing. Was great to have some alone time with my boy.

Leigh Woods
On Saturday the weather was supposed to improve so we planned to take Eve swimming at The Lido for the first time. However when it came to it, it really wasn't warm enough outside. So instead we drove out of Bristol to Leigh Woods - it's only just past the Clifton Suspension Bridge, a ten minute drive from our place.
Eve has been 'coming in' for hugs since last week (23 weeks), but this week we can see how much she enjoys hugging us, and 'holds' the hug for a long time. It's such a wonderful thing to behold, and to know some of what she is feeling.

Walking through Leigh Woods
The canopy of trees in the wood was so incredible. The rainy week had left everything so luscious, green and vibrant. Breathing in the fresh, damp air made us feel relaxed and at one with the earth.

Today (Sunday) we finished the half term week on a glorious, sunny note. Dan, Gemma and their boys Hudson and Dexter came down to visit us. We wandered over to St Andrews Park, where we chilled out for a few hours; eating, drinking and chatting, such bliss!
Daddy and Eve in St Andrews Park
The park was jam packed with families enjoying the sun. Lots of dad's had bbq's on the go, whilst kids splashed about in the paddling pool, ran around playing football or climbed all over the playground apparatus.
