Introduction

Welcome to The Pretty Walrus.

(Yes, the blog name will be explained shortly!)

Clare here. I had a little brain wave as I gave Emily her bath tonight. What better way to keep her grandparents and other fans around the world up-to-date with her development than a blog entirely dedicated to Emily? She's reached a stage now where something new seems to be happening every day so it is the best time for it too!

The blog will feature mostly weekly updates and pictures and maybe some videos, with a few "special edition" posts thrown in as and when there is something to report.

For those who don't know Emily

Emily is a bright, funny and affectionate little girl, who is about to turn 11 months as I write this. She was born on the 28th January 2011 in Medway, Kent, UK. She is the first child to very proud parents, Clare and David.

She has lots of brown hair and grey-green-brown eyes (they keep changing colour even now!). She likes the colour purple, loves music and dancing, adores watching leaves move in the wind and playing peekaboo.

Rest assured, you'll get to know her more through this (her!) blog.



Now. As promised... The blog name

After "Mummy" and "Daddy", "pretty" was Emily's next addition to her growing vocabulary. Currently, anything she likes is "pretty." But one of the first times she said it, she was looking at the picture of a walrus in one of her bath books. Since then, Daddy, the Christmas tree lights and her bottle of milk (amongst dozens of other things) have all been called "pretty" but the walrus remains the funniest, and therefore it won blog name.

We really hope you enjoy reading! x
