Riley and Jemma

Rolling and reading


Jemma is nearly 6.5 mths and she finally showed some consistency in rolling onto her back by doing it 5 times!! She is so placid (or is that lazy ;-) ) that she has not bothered to move so it was very exciting to watch this afternoon. Action photos show sequence.

The pram shot indicates what we had planned today with the beautiful weather. However the puncture Peter fixed in the weekend is flat again so there is an old photo to show you. Instead we went to the dinosaur park and Jemma was in the front pack so she and I went down the big slide a few times. Riley just climbed up and down the stairs and then wanted to see the 'ocean' so we walked up to the beach so he could see it.

We are helping Riley learn to read and he is reading (ie has memorised) bus, mum, dad, Riley, Jemma, boat, maisy and thomas. The words on the blackboard are his requests but he hasn't memorised them yet. We will work on that! His new
obsession is Blues Clues and he now goes around all day singing their songs and talking to Joe!



PS. Thanks for all the comments. We love getting them.

  • Hello team,
    Lovely photo's - Jemma's pink coat and hat look lovely. Your Ma has bribed me into doing some knitting for Riley. I am sure it is going to fit a child that is five foot high - but we do like to keep the back warm..........Great day here today 24dgs. We have had winter and now summer is here again.
    All well this end hope you all are.

  • isn't Jemma the clever girl, she must have heard you on the phone when we were talking. She looks so pretty in her pink jacket. Riley already has the look of a professor. Not that I'm a biased over the top Nana.

  • YAH!! Clever girl Jemma. You will be crawling before your Mum and Dad know it.

    Wow Rachel, Riley is very clever reading all those words at his age - well done everyone!
