8 Months

My beautiful little monkey is 8 months already - slow down, slow down you are growing too fast!! She has just started to pull herself along the floor like a little snake - my days of leaving her quietly playing on her little mat surrounded by toys are coming to a close and I am not quite sure I am ready for it yet!! Three teeth have also popped out in the last month but she is just as beautiful as ever.

If you have been following my posts over the last couple of weeks, you will have noticed my slight fixation on finding a comfy chair for my daughter to sit on while she watches telly/ looks at books/ chews on my mobile phone etc. Just as I had comfortably resolved not to worry about it, and to make do with a floor cushion and a couple of propped up pillows, my husband came home with this leathery lounge ensemble (pictured above) yesterday. You see, he's worse than me like that; once he gets a bee in his bonnet about something, he can't rest up until he's either got it, or... well, until he's got it. So my make-do solution drove him quietly crazy until he went out and bought the above chair himself.

I won't tell you what I think about the chair, but tell me what YOU think. Don't hold back. And then we can forever hold our peace on this subject!
