What a difference a week makes… When I was working at home on September 11th Maeve (the “babe” and apple of her parents eyes) was starting to try to crawl, but with some success; She could crawl – well drag would be more accurate – herself sidewards and backwards to some degree, but had not mastered (despite trying) the knack of getting up onto her knees. Another “big problem” was when she laid on her back she found it hard, but not impossible, to roll over onto her front.

Yesterday (September 18th) I was surprised (and shocked) to place her on her back and have her flip over onto front, hunker up onto her knees and for her to shoot off crawling – and almost over the edge of the bed; hence the shock. Wow her rate of learning never ceases to amaze me.

A couple of days  ago heard that one of our neighbours called “Tom and Sarah” are expecting their first baby next march – congratulations and your life will never be the same.
