sitting and sea lions





This week's new trick is sitting up by herself. My God she looks grown up. Its scary how fast she is developping now. I feel like Iam loosing my baby!
She is supposed to be in bed now but she is flinging herself around on a mat on the floor. Its amazing to watch her - I don't how a baby can be so strong - she literally flings herself around from front to back then back to front. She was placed on the mat leaning back on a cushion and she is now miles away from there with the cushions around her and on top of her. She is a bit of a nutter (as my sister confirmed when she saw her the other week).
I hope you like the lovely hand knitted duck that Nena sent her. We love it! Thats me and Jose by the way. I think Olivia likes it too - which I suppose is who it was meant for.
The sea lions are residents at the Oceanographico here in Valencia. Its a good day out teaching you all about all things sea related. I never new that sea lions could be so violent. Thos macho ones were having a right old scrap! They are very cute (I thought) in an ugly sort of way.
Olivia is now off the mat by the way. She can't crawl yetbut she can certainly get about!!
We have taken delivery of our new car. Photos will follow - perhaps this weekend if we go for a day out. Good job we got it when we did because Jose is now really worried about the economic crisis that is coming (has come to a certain exent) and has put a ban on all luxuries from now on. Boo hoo.
Right, I shall now try and coax this hyper baby into bed.......although I have a feeling she has the pilas puesto (batteries put in) and that we wont see lights out for a good hour or so. She is now having a pillow fight with her self.
