Changes

Already Ewan has changed since my last update post. His crawl style is more about alternate use of each shoulder and side as he pulls himself forward. He's started rocking on his knees, and has taken a classical crawling "step". (He's particularly pleased with this rocking-on-knees thing. In fact, the other night he woke me up at some early hour rocking backwards and forwards, chortling loudly as if to say "Hey Mum! Wake up! Look at me!". I'm sure he was underwhelmed at my response, which was basically a suppressed groan and a return to the mattress).

Orla is now three. We had a little party for her on Sunday down at Playcentre. She spent most of the time eating, with a bit of playing and present opening on the side. She was delighted with her stash.

Isabelle and Aidan have begun their own party plans in earnest. (For the record, they are August and September babies).
