Back from Budapest and had a wonderful time. I wasn't sure what to expect but it's a beautiful, friendly city and we'd both like to go back sometime. Details and photos to come soon!
Just before we left Rosie started crawling, waving and sayine 'mama'. All in one day! I do remember Toby having similiar sudden developmental leaps but it was still thrilling. While we were away Rosie also started putting objects into holders. That probably sounds strange to those without children but it's a big deal in babyworld. It started with putting her rice cakes back into her cup (over and over again!) and now she's using her stacking cups. She also started going from laying down to sitting and back again on her own. All very exciting.
We're now into Nikki's last two weeks in London. This weekend will be our last weekend before she leaves on Friday 1 September. I don't know what we're going to do without her. I'm going to miss having a friend to run around with and I know J will miss having someone to stay up late with. Nikki is the only other person besides me and J that I've seen Rosie reach out for, even when I'm holding Rosie which is really unusual! And I know Tobes will really miss having Nikki around. He loves playing with her and likes to show her his schoolwork. Nikki is the named guardian in our wills and I know that if anything were to happen to me and J the children would be happy and well-loved.
After Nikki leaves life will be very quiet until we go to Texas for Thanksgiving.
A lot of talk about children, husbands, homes, food, travels and everything else that makes up domestic bliss.
