It has been a while so I thought I’d better say hello and do a quick update!

Elsie has had a very eventful time recently – last week she had a horrible time, we think with teething, and her temperature went up, she was really grizzly and her cheeks went bright red. We just got that sorted when we went up to Yorkshire for a few days (to see Auntie Sally – recently returned from New Zealand, yay!) and Elsie had egg for the first time – her eyes swelled up and she went bright pink and blotchy, so we rushed her into A&E (where the nurse exclaimed oh my god! when she saw the colour of her – very reassuring). After examination they said there was nothing to worry about, but she was back on the Calpol for a couple of days to get over that.

She is fine now, and such a joy. She is really starting to be demonstrative in her affections, which is so rewarding to be around. She grins her big toothy gorgeous grin at me when I get home from work, and when I go in to her in the morning, and gets really excited when we play. We can have conversations now too where she’ll copy dadada, mamama or bababa sounds. She is also copying movements and altogether becoming more purposeful in everything she does. I am just in awe of her amazingness most of the time!

No new piccies yet, but just wanted to say hello anyway!
