First steps

Judah took his 'first steps' yesterday soooo exciting! It literally was one or two steps, this morning he did a few more!!! He has been standing up alone for a couple of weeks gradually more and more but as soon as he realises he sits right down, like in the photos above. Give him a few weeks and I suspect we will be going to have him measured for his first shoes awwww. Our new favorite place to play is the cricket field where he can crawl and crawl and crawl as fast as he likes!

Hip hip hooray

Pictures from Judah's first birthday! We had a great day celebrating with family. We went to Adventure Valley and saw lots of animals, Judah liked the sheep and alpacas. Lots of fun was had in the soft play especially on the slides. Then we had a tea party and opened presents. It was a very special day :)

Celebrating

Today I celebrated my first Mother's day, Judah and Teddy woke me up with breakfast in bed and a lovely card. Yesterday they took me out for the day to Exeter we had breakfast and a mooch around then went to Urban Burger for lunch. Which was so good, was almost like having an American burger :) Judah had his first kids meal and his first ride on a bus!

Judah 11 month old

Good walking

 Give me that camera Mammy!

Judah is 11 month old today, I always like to take pictures on these mini-birthdays :)

Hello Again

I decided to come back and write again for a few reasons really; Judah is almost 1 year old! and I realise I am slowly taking less photos of him :( and I thought if I blog then it will (hopefully) make me take more photos of him and record him changing and growing and doing new awesome things!  Also, I have taken a photography class recently to learn to use my camera properly so this is good for practicing my new skills. I intended to start blogging again at the beginning of the year and I am just getting round to it (story of my life) so I hope to keep this going but as things go I am not very organised or good at getting things done haha we will see how this goes!

A year later...

So its been a very very long time since I last did a post and lots has changed, mainly we are no long Teddy & Moomin 'Does America!'
The American tale ended in December of 2012... so I wanted to finish the story with a few belated posts for last year.  We luckily got to explore a little bit more of the USA.

In April we took another trip to NYC always good fun!  This time with family, Mama Moomin, David, Simone & Alan visited.  This time we did the Empire State building which was awesome the views are amazing... I bought a Christmas bauble in the gift store as a souvenir and then proceeded to loss it :(

The Wild Wild West

Pictures from our trip to Colorado...

We spent the first night in the Mile High City (Denver), we went to the oldest restaurant in town 'Buckhorn Exchange'. We had alligator tail for starters, for mains Teddy had elk & ostrich steak and I had buffalo steak & lamp chop. Elk was definitely the best... you can tell you are in cowboy country with all the hunting trophies on the walls!

A little road trip up to the mountains

Breckenridge - first time skiing.  We really enjoyed skiing and the photos really don't do the mountains justice but it was just too cold to take the camera out on the ski lifts!

We loved Colorado and I can't wait to go back maybe in summer next time.  Its so beautiful, very friendly and relaxed - I actually wish I could go live there!
