quick update

Very quick update in fact.

Gracie can now sit up unaided. She eats toast, lumpy veg or fruit mush, and pretty much anything really. She can SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT. Hallelujah. I became desperate and 'trained' her out of the habit of waking frequently. After one night things got better; within the week she was sleeping through. She's now in a cotbed which should do her til she's about 4 or 5. She looks tiny again because it's so big for her right now.

Some days she chats away all day and says 'dadadadadada' although she doesn't yet link that sound with 'daddy' of course.

I went back to work for 2 days (I'm very lucky to only be doing that much). It was OK and hell, in equal doses I would say. G didn't seem to miss me; she adores her Grandma and had a lovely time with Adriano too.

We have some sad news in Adriano's family that we are coping with at the moment. Please send your thoughts and prayers. They will be much needed for some while.

Got to go and catch up with some domestic loveliness!
