We were having such a lovely afternoon on Saturday at our Mum's group BBQ until...we decided to get a group shot of the kids, no mean feat when most of them are trying to crawl off in one direction or another. We gave some of them coloured plastic balls to try to entice them to sit in one place for more than a few seconds. In this pic, Sophia has spied and is going for the yellow ball...little does she know that in a few seconds Sam, in the red shirt to the right, is also going to see and want the very same ball...

With a helpful shove to the middle of Sophia's back and a quick dash-and-grab manoeuvre, Sam has the ball, and Sophia is about to land face first on the grass...(and Amelie to the left of Sam has gone over backwards!)

My poor little baby girl howling post-fall. She was inconsolable for the next few minutes, but we eventually managed to calm her with a cuddles and a dummy (I'm just off camera next to her...). Sam is looking well pleased with himself.

We tried to get a pic of them all with Sophia not howling but she wasn't having any of it - she was out of there post haste!
