o-o - twinkle eyed big brother pretending to be a camel (with a very serious rider).
wee baby j - clomping around the kitchen with grampy m's walking boots on his hands. 
i'm taking part in the 52 project, you can see all my 52 posts here and my three/52 selection here. we're up in manchester once more, making the most of my sister being back from her antipodean adventures.

o-o - rocks. we went to buy some school shoes (school shoes!) and he was mega patient and well behaved in clarks despite an epic wait. afterwards he spotted this activity area in another part of the shopping centre. he had this photo taken in front of the rock backdrop and watched other children dancing around to rock and roll classics (i can't join in because i don't know the moves...).
wee baby j - walking (with daddy's help).
last week i liked a familiar scene. i'm taking part in the 52 project, you can see all my 52 posts here and my three/52 selection here. i left the charger for the GF1 in manchester so i've been using my point and shoot camera, which is not as good. 

mother's day bean, the conclusion

the mother's day bean, happy in its new outdoor position, has made a bean (or three, two were munched by snails while our backs were turned)! here's o-o proudly displaying the crop. self sufficiency here we come...

wee baby j - sweet face but our little j has found his cross voice (and accompanying mean right hook) of late. also, he can stand up, no hands!
o-o - free-ranging in edale with papa m and uncle tom. here are m and o-o cooling off during their 12K hike (pretty impressive distance for a not-yet-four-year-old non?). despite the babbling fresh water visible in the left of the shot o-o insisted on paddling the adjacent stagnant pool, much to m's exasperation (photo by my brother tom)
my little bro tom is an outdoor instructor, he's just started blogging* about his adventures here. expect lovely photos of some of our most beautiful wild places, succinct descriptions and (soon) tips about introducing a newborn to the great outdoors (so excited). you can see his post about his trip to edale with o-o and m here.

o-o - on the swing in the alleyway next to grampy m's allotment.
wee baby j - valiant attempt to climb onto grampy m's garden bench.
