Cows and guitars

At the moment you’re interested in everything, Lily. You’re crawling everywhere. Past the living sofa to the dining room. Over the grass in Nenny’s garden. And last week I walked you around Aldenham Country Park, where you saw a cow for the first time…

Don’t worry what WTF means. You’ll learn one day. Basically it means you were shocked.

You’ve also started to love riding on a rocking cow that was given by your Mama’s cousin. You make happy gurgles and sit up as you ride Ophelia the Cow, as we have named her…

As well as crawling you have started to pull yourself up to see things. We think you’re some crazy genius because you’re only 6 months. Look at you pulling yourself up on dada. Here…

And here, stroking your favourite man. Luther Vandross. He always calms you down. Good old Luther…

We think you must be really musical. It runs in the family. You love to hear dada’s guitar. I’ve let you stroke the strings and you find that acoustic reverb wondrous. In fact, you keep crawling over to the guitar. You can’t help yourself. So dada has had to pick it up and show you…

You’re just so fascinated by everything. Cows. Guitars. You name it. Even seeing dada after work, you kick your legs and smile, beaming. It melts my heart.

No wonder you pass out while dada feeds you dinner. Bless you. Our cutie…
