The camera has continued to be in use however, and I'll start with some pictures of the weekend before last, general frolicking with Emma mostly.
Helen, Leila and Emma went shopping in Shaftesbury, near where my parents live, on Saturday morning. Rob drove me down later in the afternoon. We had a meal out courtesy of Mum and Dad in an Italian restaurant in Shaftesbury. It's a converted church and the seating area, although inside, is designed to feel as if you are in an Italian piazza. Emma was very good and slept throughout in her car seat on the floor. Here are Mum's and my sea basses sharing an intimate moment.
Mum fed Emma some milky rice porridge and then gave her a bath. Here is a video of her bath with her smiling at her Daddy making a stupid noise. Click on this link.
The last pictures are of Leila and Ria on the sofa taking turns to hold Emma. Here is Rosie's birthday cake - can you guess what it is? The second picture is her opening a shiny new radio-CD player. There is also a video of it in action - click here.
Here is from left to right, Thomas, John, Tim, Billy and Rob.
The last picture shows an improvised game of "throw the rabbits onto the chairs".
On to Wednesday now. Here are some pictures of Emma enjoying her new high chair, generously passed onto us by Lin, Mike and Ria. She loves to be fed in it. It's so comfortable, she's even fallen asleep in it a few times! Click on the pictures to enlarge them.
These pictures were taken while I fed Emma and Helen had a lie in until 10am. Helen then went to the cinema with Emma. The film started at 10.30 so they had to dash! I went to the optician's in Cribbs Causeway - its been two and a half years since my last eye test. I need new glasses unfortunately. Especially unfortunate as Vision Express wanted over £200 for a pair. I went online and found the same frames for half the price. I hope they're OK! I went on a bit of a spend in the baby shops. These pictures show Emma posing in a new jerkin from Monsoon.
We popped into the Health Centre to get Emma weighed. She'd only put on a couple of ounces in the last week. There we saw Leila and an hour later she was out of work and sharing some red wine with us in The Cellar! There's something of a gangster about Emma in the second picture, don't you think?
And finally, here's Emma on Thursday having fun bouncing in the door frame.

Hello Shallcrosses Big and Small!
Wow - haven't you done a lot. I was especially jealous to see you drinking guiness in the pub - looked idyllic, somehow.
Sounds like something nasty is going round. Rowan has also been ill for the last few days (top end rather than bottom end). Several people from work (all with kids) have also come a cropper.
Speak to you soon!
