Elsie is having another nap upstairs at the moment, she is really good at going to sleep during the day now that she can just roll over and get comfy.

We have been having another very amusing morning of raspberries (her new favourite way of communicating) and singing. She is so hilarious at the moment!

Her eczema is much better these day – but she has got quite bad nappy rash again, maybe because it’s so hot and she’s getting all sweaty round there. I am trying to leave her without her nappy on for a while whenever possible, but have been put off by the fact that she seems to immediately go to the loo whenever she’s left without one. Wees I can cope with but last week she did a huge poo when I left her for two minutes to make cheese on toast – oh my god, it was so disgusting (and most unhygienic too I should imagine).

This is Elsie and I on our holidays – we both have our summer frocks on here (Elsie’s was bought for her before she was even born by Auntie Katie!) This is on the lovely balcony at the back of the flat where we spent many a happy sunny hour!
