    This time last year…

    My beautiful, clever, adventurous, happy girl is one today. Best year of my life.

    She is almost walking unaided, says a few words – mama, dada, baba, hiya, peekaboo, ball (ba), bottle (bobo), bear (beh), feed me (nom nom), has eventually started to grow some gorgeous blonde curls, loves music and dancing, loves books, gives big hugs and wet kisses, giggles constantly with her big brother and smiles nearly all the time. Best little girl ever.

      Thanks. Yes, utterly delighted with her.

      All well here. 12 weeks now so we are in with a good chance. At the point where we lost baby number 3 so I am not going to get carried away just yet but let’s just say I am cautiously optimistic.
