Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you all!

Well, Christmas has come and gone, thank God! We learnt a number of lessons about how NOT to do the festive season in future, which will stand us in good stead, methinks. However, we did manage (in the midst of all the learning) to have a few hours of fun together with family, which was nice.

Graeme is still not better, and seems to be getting worse again. Part of me feels incredibly fed up with the whole illness situation (if I were him I'd be even more fed up... it's been over a month now that he's been unwell), but as he's been working instead of resting, I suppose it's to be expected. At least he's been taking naps and going to bed early, which is good.

Nellie's walking has come on in leaps and bounds! The problem now is that she wants to walk so much, but doesn't really have the strength of limb or balance to walk long distances, so keeps falling over. Needless to say, she is very frustrated too. She also seems to be teething again, so her hands are constantly in her mouth again. Fortunately, this also seems to be translating into a renewed interest in solid food, and she wants to try everything she sees us eat or drink - a bit of a mixed blessing really.

She is as cute as ever - particularly when she really tries to talk. She's started trying to copy everything we say, and I swear she understands more than we give her credit for. Anyway, here she is walking to Daddy, arms in the air for balance, and here we are celebrating Graeme's birthday with his family.
