I'm having terrible trouble with this new blogging system - I'm getting worried that the whole thing is just going to disappear one day and all these incredible memories will be gone. I should back it all up somewhere really.

Anyway... Elsie is very well at the moment, she is growing up so much and is so funny. She smiles her big wide toothy grins a lot, and is starting to realise the effect they have on people - I think she's becoming aware that people become enchanted with her when she does it! Conversely, she is also starting to have mini tantrums when she doesn't get her own way, which are very tricky to deal with. We've decided to just ignore them as much as possible and hopefully she'll get the idea it's a waste of time. I think she is turning out pretty strong willed - can't imagine where she might get that from!

More piccies from Xmas time at Knowsley.
