Hello to you all!

Hope winter isn't too cold for you. We are progressing along. Jemma is doing much better off the dairy products but still struggling with waking at night and not settling easily so mummy still has to get to the bottom of that one. So don't be fooled by the smiley photo of her in the cot. It is just that she is such a placid wee girl with a lovely temperament... from her mother of course!

She has worked out to smile for the camera as well and gets very excited when you show her the photos or videos we have taken.

Riley is pouting because I was blocking the tv and Spot was on. He is also making good progress on reading and spelling- not that we are actually encouraging that but he cracked us up with the poster in the photo. Started spelling the words out and he was so proud of himself. We videod it but it is too big to upload. He has gotten much better at the echolalia- doesn't repeat as much but he has gotten into the habit of saying darling- . So it is 'hi darling' 'cuddle please darling'..... etc... very cute - though Dad doesn't find it as cute as mum does! I hadn't realised I called him darling that often-- but of course he is one!

Mum is sick at the moment so she hopes that the kids don't come down with it cos then her life gets more miserable ....... Holidays soon! Yay!
