It's A Boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today is a truly great one in the Wilson-Barnes household because Anna's bessie mate Kay & hubby Pierre had a baby in the early hours of this morning. Ethan William Lefort was born at 1.51AM on Friday 17th March and weighed 7lb 9oz (known as a 'whopper' round these parts). Mother, baby & nervous wreck father all doing well.

In the meantime our own bundle of fun has her monthly jab in the arse today when we take her to the hospital for her RSV injection. This is the respiratory virus that teeny-tinys like ours are very susceptible to. Fortunately it's the last one for this year but she has to have bloods done too so the poor little mite'll be like a pin-cushion before we're done. She'll also gets weighed so will update that later too.

Finally bigger than Ted

Excuse the sick

It's Been A While

So sorry for the lack of posts over the last couple of weeks but most of you will know we've been a little pre-occuppied. Anyhow last Friday was a major outing for Amelia as we went to see the opening stage of the Sunseeker Rally down in Bournemouth. This is basically when some of the UK's fastest Rally cars tear through the Winter Gardens to whoops of delight from all in attendence. Amelia of course was wrapped up like Scott of the Antarctic and knew very little of the proceedings but she was there. As indeed were Tom and Carrie who stayed over and assisted once more in our renovation of the hall, stairs & landing (one day I tell ya', one day).

Anyway enough of the small talk, what about the small person? Well she's begun sleeping through the night now (mostly) which also means Anna is enjoying the rare luxury of several hours uninterrupted sleep. Amelia is having mushed up goodies 3 times a day and as you can see from one of the pictures, she's even started on the Farley's Rusks. She's late on this one of course from a Wilson-Barnes perspective, just ask Mum.

One of the most amazing things that she's just started doing this week is properly giggling. It's usually with Anna and for no real reason, she obviously is just finding things funny from time to time. It's really special to be able to watch her personality come to life. She's a happy little soul and no mistaking.

Welcome Qatar, Turkey & Peru!

Yes it was nice this week to see new visitors to the site from Qatar, Turkey and Peru. I'm sure that I'm not the only one who immediately thinks of the word 'darkest' in association with Peru, alongside lost small bears and marmalade sandwiches. Ahh, all this to come for a certain little lady.
