Blast from the past!

Hello Blog readers!

Here is a beautiful picture that fell into my inbox this afternoon from Robin. It is Rob and Leila with Helen in 1977 when she was a very ickle baby. They are in Nanna's garden in North Petherton.










This is Emma yesterday in the evening. Her Auntie Jane (Dave's sister) described the pleasure of seeing her two (Billy and Rosie) in this pose with arms up around their head as she knew they were sleeping very deeply.


















Last night was another good one. Emma went down at 11pm taking a while to settle, but then slept through until 7am with just one feed albeit with extended winding session.

I went to work again today and poor Helen had quite a difficult morning, especially when Emma cried through Helen's bath. Emma had a lovely bath herself, then would fall asleep in Helen's arms, and be put in the moses basket, but only sleep for 15 minutes before waking up and need feeding or winding again.


I came home for lunch, then Auntie Becky visited bringing Helen some nice soup and apple turnovers. Very welcome! Emma was quite good after that, letting mum sleep for an hour and being quieter herself. She didn't really settle in the moses basket for more than an hour at any time though.












Many thanks to Susie from Skeeles for this lovely romper suit that came with matching teddy.
Here's Helen enjoying a cuddle with Emma. After we'd eaten our sausage and veg, she became very alert and was looking deep into our eyes and taking an interest in what was going on. We've noticed her taking an interest more today than ever, and it is giving us real pleasure as parents!
