Four week old baba...

Yes, 'baba' as they call her is four weeks old, nearly five now... We think we've seen her smile! She's lovely - just great. The best thing she's done for me is saved my evenings. I feed her and bath her at the same time as the other two, and she goes to sleep at about 7pm and sleeps until around 10/10.30pm, so I have the whole evening to myself! Woo hoo! I can hardly believe it as I'm sure neither of the other two were like this! She is still covered in red spots, all over her face, but the health visitor saw her yesterday and said it was nothing to worry about. She also weighed her - she's on the 91st centile weighing in at 11lb 5oz. Edward was also weighed, and he's also on the 91st centile. I was surprised that she asked if he had any words now, and if he can feed himself at all. He's been feeding himself for a year now, and has so many words I lose track:

Baba's crying, no cat this morning, no Bob this morning, Hello Daddy, Toilet, Fruit Bat, Porridge Porridge, Edward's tummy, Hello Feet, Give it here, Come here, Let go, Sorry, See ...., Car Seat, Ambulance, Fire Engine, Blue Car, Song on... as well as all his other single words... to name but a few.

Bought a book from Amazon about our 'highly sensitive child' (HSC) if that is what we've got in Elizabeth. Despair of her behaviour at times, so am hoping that the book will help.

All of them, including husband, have been battling colds this week. Thankfully I seem to have been spared.
