Seix: part two

Well here we are again, i will try to get the pics up this time.








Some of the views from surrounding valleys


We also visited St Giron. A lovely town with one of the best cafes. It had a chocolate fountain and the hot chocolate comes as a jug of liquid chocolate that you then add to cups of hot frothy milk and that is without even the desserts they have. Wow what pastries, the french of definitely got pasties and breads all over the rest of us.

Trip to Seix: part one

Oh no!

Alas, the day we had feared has come to pass.

Timbo has been mobilish for the last month or so. He hasn't been crawling, but he's been able to shuffle here and there through a combination of sitting up and sitting down a little further away, rolling about etc.

Last Thursday, he decided he was sick of that, and started crawling for real. He is now crawling around everywhere getting into trouble. So happy he is in his new skill that he gets very stroppy when fenced in or otherwise repressed. Sadly now it is pretty much impossible to leave him alone even for a split second.

While we are both proud of the boy, life just got a wee bit harder!

Here are a couple of videos from last week.



Next week we're heading off to see the Theau's in France, so we'll have something to write about besides baby stuff :-)
