A belated happy new year! We didn't quite make it til midnight, just had a quiet evening watching some old family movies with Dad and Paul. It was great as we hadn't seen them for ages, quite weird seeing Paul and I as babies and toddlers, and even stranger watching film of mum and dad when they were eighteen! It's so incredible to have that footage, and Bruce and I are definitely going to buy a camcorder to keep such priceless moments of our little ones.
Bruce has got a couple of weeks off work, so we decided we'd try and get some things around the house and garden sorted and it's going pretty well. Today got lots done thanks to Dad and Paul looking after Connor, and tomorrow Connor is spending the whole day with them.

Byron has started having solids (he's five months old today!). He was waking up quite a lot and didn't seem satisfied, so I tried him on some baby rice and pear a few days ago, and he hoovered it down, so definitely seems ready. Here are a couple of pics from today...

Connor thought he'd use me to vault over while I was talking to Byron, and Byron decided my hair looked like something fun to grab hold of and yank while I was trying to see what Connor was doing!
