A quick snap via mobile phone of a happy little Sophie and her Mummy!

I wonder who found a big puddle outside?!

A visit from Lisa, Gracie and Sam and everyone sits down for a yummy dinner of Fish Fingers. James' looks very good!

It's always all action at meal times, even more so with friends!

It's not too bad cycling down gentle slopes and James can do it all by himself!

Our little lass loves her bouncy chair!

Her eyes often are unblinking, especially when watching Mummy or Daddy go about their business.

This is quite possibly still the same "unblink"!

What a great profile and how cute is that little nose?!

James notices just about everything and after seeing these on the bookshelf, he naturally wanted to have a closer look.

Daddy finally got round to doing some gardening and James wanted to help as usual.

After finding suitable sized bits of tree, he put them in the bag ready to be carted away.

It was very satisfying! He enjoyed taking them out at the tip too!

Another smiley shot of Sophie as she watches the mayhem around her!

Unlike his Mummy and Daddy, James fancied washing his car so with a bucket and sponge he goes about giving it a good clean!

Daddy had to help with the very top but he was very thorough!

While Daddy was away in Scotland at a wedding, Em and the kids went down to Hampshire and to visit Granny, Grandad, Auntie Jo, Joshie and Alicia. Chocolate cake or Daddy? No contest!!

With nice weather and good company, everyone had lots of fun!

The bike was a big draw for both of the boys and they both enjoyed being pushed around on it.

Someone is having lots of fun in the sun!

Two proud Mummies show off their daughters side by side!

Although it's difficult to do when your two, James and Joshie do some lovely sharing.

After all that playing outside it's nice to sit down and unwind!

I'm not sure this is what it was designed for but James seems to be enjoying himself!

I've not eaten any of it yet Mummy!

The startled expression here is only matched by that great tuft of hair!

Grandad is very proud of his girls!

A lovely one for the photo album with Granny, Grandad and the two youngest grandchildren.

All good things have to end and it was time for James to say goodbye to Joshie for a while. What a nice hug between the two cousins though!

James often wants to see where it all happens in the car and Daddy let him have a look at the drivers seat.

After a spot of dinner there was still time for a quick drive in James' car.

Coming through! Get out of the way!

Propped up a little, Sophie gets a better perspective on the garden.

It's not easy keeping upright when you're 4½ months old, so a bit of leaning here and there is mandatory!

With the occasional aeroplane flying overhead, James is quick to point out to Daddy any that he sees.

With the date of the move less than two weeks away, James gets in on the packing action.

They look like little and large here!

I think this is a rendition of incy wincey spider. James helps out with the actions.

A little brotherly tickle for Sophie.

And much nicer, a lovely cuddle for his little sister.

Just so Big Ted doesn't feel left out, he gets a nice cuddle too!

We're getting more wriggly and we often find various limbs poking out through the rails of the crib!

A face of pure innocence (or is that indulgence?). Did James munch some chocolate here? You decide!

It only takes a few seconds but once Sophie is asleep she's sparko!

A bit of telly watching and Sophie seems very interested in what's on!

I don't think this is a sign that she needs glasses, it's just a very good programme!

Are you watching this too Mummy? It's very good!

As James did at her age, Sophie has these wonderfully rounded cheeks!

Another lovely picture this, Sophie has such a beautiful little laugh!

A cheeky little grin for her camera crazy Daddy!

A visit from Grandpa and he gets a cuddle with James and Sophie at the same time.

With the move days away, James heads off to Granny and Grandads for a few days while the chaos of the move takes place.

The Thomas family say goodbye to their great Cardiff house. Daddy had been there for 8 years but it's on to bigger and better things.

A typical portrait of the Thomases! James with his thumb in and Sophie doing her quizzical look!

James says bye bye to the house as Grandpa waves them off.

A few pics showing the ensuing chaos as the house gets put into boxes. Here is Mission Control as never seen before!

The sun sets over Cardiff for our last night in the house.

Sophie doesn't seem to mind though. I think she's happy of the prospect of a countryside lifestyle.

The only picture from the day of the move. We were very careful not to put Sophie in any boxes!

After the move from hell (we were supposed to be out by noon and I left Cardiff at 5:30pm. The removals men left the new house at 11pm) we awoke to find hundreds of boxes absolutely everywhere in our New Home!

After hardly any time to unpack, Granny & Grandad turned up with a very special delivery!

With a hug for his Mummy, James immediately eyes up his new home.

After his long journey, all James wants to do is explore. He offers his "suitcase" to Grandad so he can go and check out the new place!

At least the slide made it in one piece to the new garden.

Not 100% sure, James cautiously looks inside!

A lucky little lad, had a great welcome to the house present in the form of Scoop from Bob the Builder. Let's play with Scoop amongst the carnage of the study!

Sophie a veteran of the move has obviously already settled in, sleeping anyway as usual!

James has a good run around the outside of the house, taking his new Scoop with him.

It's a bit bigger than the old garden this one!

Running through the top of the garden, James gets a good idea of how much space he has now. I think it's a success!

A typically smiley Sophie shows us that she's not affected by the move!

All very new and difficult to take in, James takes stock of his new bedroom.

With all his familiar toys around, it wasn't long before he had fully settled in.
