An exciting weekend

We have had an eventful week - mainly over the weekend where we are very proud of Riley and the progress he is making.

Though Jemma has had a good achievement as well. She slept through the night ONCE! Mummy tried her on goats milk in the hope of weaning but no go- poor girl had tummy ache and Mummy and Daddy suffered alongside her.

We have had to keep Jemma away from the tv and we have found that if we need 5 minutes peace and quiet, we can stand her up and since she can't get down, we can get a few things done :-) However, we went to Grandma and Grandads house for the night and Jemma was allowed near their tv.. she loved being able to touch the characters in the box- it was very cute to watch. She is now blowing kisses too and making great tongue noises. She is such a poppet.... during the day- a perfect child with a lovely nature but she likes to wind Riley up by upsetting his train and flinging it away- she is hilarious.

Today was Peters Xmas do- a family day and Riley just loved it. After a few hours, he worked up the courage to go in a truck for a ride, on a digger with Dad AND go in the bouncy castle (then didn't want to come out!). We were so thrilled to see this happen because he tends to be an observer and for him to take on the opportunity was great progress. He even impressed the truck driver with his comment "nice driving Marty".

Christmas may still be 6 weeks away but Riley is looking forward to it and he got Christmas duck out so we could sing the carols. Riley sang well and we caught it on video (if anyone wants a 15Mb file sent with Riley singing either Jingle bells or We wish you a merry Xmas- let us know :-) )

PS note Rileys new vest- another knitting pattern that Mum stuffed up but she means well- she just ain't built to knit. It is wearable at least
