All going pretty well. Still no fits this year (touch wood). Jai's trying hard to crawl, and rolling furiously all over the living room. He manages to somehow get himself to most things which catch his eye. A long way from sitting up, but enjoying being held up more and more. No problems with eating which is a big big relief. And even babbling occasionally nowadays.

All good news in other words... Like other bubs, I suppose, he takes a big step once in a while, then little change for a few weeks. At the moment , he's in one of those stages of consolidation. We need to be patient!

Most of the time we try to stick to 2 or 3 routines.. wake up early, play on the floor for a while before a feed, sit Jai up, walk with him around the yard maybe, then a pram walk seeing the neighbourhood or the creek or some birdy parks, as Jai drifts off to sleep.. Then whoever's left behind looks after Uma, gets her ready for school, which unfortunately needs us to fire up the car (but this will change next year, when school will be closer). Then the rest of the day's routine starts a'swinging. Work, chores, house stuff, organising for our move. Weekends are precious breaks.

I find that weeks drift by, and i talk on the phone or email less and less. Life is good, enough social times for sure, but i often don't find the mental energy to start an email or to make contact with all the people i should. I'm Gen X slacker thru and thru, I'm afraid. A mediocre facebooker! But I'll reply to all my emails in time. Meanwhile, this blog will have to do.
