Emma's Entry

Introducing Noodle, the new addition to our growing family...

We have a new member of the family and Evan absolutely adores him. His name is Noodle and he's Caroline's early Christmas present. He's really little and Evan (although harmless) scares him because his movements are so loud and jerky.

I had a half day this week to attend Evan's nativity play. Evan was forming part of the rainbow and his colour was yellow. I had to provide yellow clothes for him to wear, I couldn't find yellow trousers so in the end he wore cream trousers and a yellow t-shirt. They also made these little rambo-like headbands in the appropriate colour. They sang the rainbow song whilst Evan was on the stage and he spent most of his time looking at the balloons floating in the room and clapping at us. It was really cute and I would have had some decent pictures to show if the nursery hadn't insisted that cameras were banned.

Evan is the second one in from the left on the front row.

We went Christmas shopping in Guildford this weekend though we didn't really end up buying much as I bought most of the presents this year online. We decided to go shopping near to where my mum lives so that she could baby sit Evan for the day, so we headed off to Guildford to do our shopping this year. The trip was a huge success, Evan slept in his travel cot and we stayed for a lovely dinner. My mum is still recovering from her operation and was unable to carry Evan up the stairs but with a little improvising and some help from Evan, he managed to climb the stairs by himself with my mum walking up behind him.

Evan has this new trick, he can now make this clucking noise with his tongue. No sign of obvious words yet, but voila we have another cute noise to add to Evan's repertoire.
