Little Emily is very almost 5 months old now – the time has flown past, I’ve never know my life to move so quickly before. So before she goes and gets any bigger I thought I should post a quick photo of her here and let you know how she is doing.

Emily is really good at flashing her huge smile at people. She is still wearing her 0-3 month clothing but is growing fine – today she weighed in at 11 lb 11 oz. Emily has just started grabbing objects and shaking rattles, and also likes to squeal  in a very high pitch. She is also just starting to get ticklish and will chuckle when you nibble her ribs 🙂

Sam is also doing really well. He goes to pre-school 4 times a week and loves his time playing there. All the staff at the pre-school think he is wonderful and I regularly get told how polite and well behaved he is. Sam is really into making puzzles at the moment as well as spending quite a bit of time playing with his kitchen and providing us all with ‘tea’ (both the drink and the evening meal) regularly. Sam also seems to be a bit more interested in painting and drawing so hopefully I’ll be able to convince him to start making pictures and cards for you all.

Thanks for checking in on us – I will try and be much better about posting here this year, now we are pretty settled in to our new Northern home I want to be able to share our family photos with you all more regularly.

Sorry for the lack of posting recently – life has been surprisingly busy without anything much to report about. Because the house is pretty much looking how we want it now I thought it high time I took you on a tour of it… however Sam got hold of the camera so this has now become a tour from Sam’s perspective.

 

Now I’m off to recharge the camera battery, perhaps when it has some more power I’ll let Sam take you on another tour upstairs 🙂
