Today I returned the Flip Ultra we were sent to review and I thought I would take the opportunity to blog what we thought of it. I really enjoyed using the Flip Ultra as it was so easy to use by me, my husband, and extended family. We were surprised by the quality of the videos considering the small size of the Flip Ultra although the quality noticeably degrades when using the digital zoom. The sound quality is good and we loved that the USB was internal. We thought that the plastic screen could be scratched quite easily but it…

Edward enjoying his breakfast toast – he turned his nose up at his usual porridge with banana![youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMyrg54hkhE&fs=1&hl=en_US] We went swimming today which was great. I was supposed to dunk Edward right under the water twice but I was only brave enough to do it once! I’m not sure he’s completely happy with the dunking aspect of his swimming class but apart from that he loves splashing around. I wish I was able to take some photographs or video of his swimming. Edward spends a lot of the time with his mouth open whilst I swoosh him around. I wonder when…

I took 22 videos today of Edward as I’ve been trying to capture him moving from sitting to crawling. In the process I’ve taken video of him playing with his toys, shopping in Tesco’s and on the car ferry. He’s been eyeing up my changing bag for a while but today he finally got hold of it and had a good look. He also grabbed my (un-read) copy of Heat. We’re blaming Nanny for his love of magazines as yesterday she gave him a magazine which he quickly shredded – now no magazine is safe!

My youngest niece (aged 6) spotted the Flip in my bag and wanted to record her favourite cousin, so take a look at her efforts… [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3N9E2EM5iw&fs=1&hl=en_US] My sulky teenage (14 years old) niece also took a video but it was mainly of herself! Both loved using the Flip Ultra as it so easy to use. This evening I edited the clip as I didn’t think anyone needed to see my husband’s builders bum in the background. It’s so easy to edit I think Edward could manage it. Day 2 and we’re still loving the Flip!

The lovely people at Miffy sent Edward a toy from the new selection of classic Miffy toys which have never been available in the UK before. The Miffy rattle car is suitable from 6 months and features a chunky handle – prefect for little chubby fingers learning to grip. Each of the four wheels contains small balls, which provide the rattle, and feature Dick Bruna’s other well known characters. The rattle makes a noise when pushed along.At 7 months Edward is interested in toys he can really interact with so I wasn’t sure how much fun he would have with…

I can’t believe Edward is 7 months old today. It’s the biggest cliche but time is really flying. I can truthfully say I’ve loved every minute so far! Edward is 7 months old. He weighs 9860g He’s 68 cm tall His favourite activities include bouncing in his Lindam bouncer, swimming, music classes, playing with loud and noisy toys, snoozing in mummys’ arms and cuddles with daddy. No teeth yet although we’ve been teething for ages. He sleeps from 7pm until 7am (sometimes 8am!). He eats 3 meals a day, drinks 3 bottles of milk and we’re slowly weaning him off…
