Getting bigger.

I may come back and edit this post at a later date - I'm writing it at work, and am bound to miss some stuff off!

E continues to grow, and is doing well.  She's a smiler!  She is very quick to crack a proper open-mouthed, gummy grin.  It's not wind, it's a proper smile!  She's still happier to sleep during the day rather than at night, which is a little tiring.  Many's the night recently when I've gone to bed at about 10, Milly's followed my in at about midnight, or one am, after settling E., and then we've been woken up at about 2!  Hard work - I'm trying to help as much as I can, but Michelle  has this idea that it's her job, and I haven't got the energy at argue at 2am (usually...!)

You can tell from the orientation of these photos that they are mainly iPhone pics, but they're good enough!  Here's one of Louis that I took at the local Woqod petrol station - we'd gone to get a regulator for a BBQ that I built, and Louis discovered the joys of automatic doors!

The BBQ has been given one trial run, and we're holding a coming out party for it on Thursday night - we've got some people coming over for some food, so I get to stand in the yard, fumigating myself.  I did the booze souq yesterday so that there is plenty of sausages and beer!

Louis in the bath, for no reason other than that he likes being in the bath!  He's growing nicely - he's about the same weight as he was 5 months ago, but is taller, and thinner, and is now fitting trousers that were too tight 6 months ago.  (Like his dad!)

These remaining pics are from a photo session that was a gift from Chad & Heather, Nigel & Jana, and Don & Krisz.  Thanks very much, folks!  The session was a bit hard work - E wouldn't settle, and L started to get bored after a bit, of course!  But Jessica the photographer did a good job with the small number of shots we ended up taking.  Here are some of the pics, it not all.

Like the eyes here, although the fist towards the camera is a little threatening!

Milly was gutted that she forgot to remove her glasses.  

Look at this - in the 1980s, this pic would have been published by Athena, and I'd be rich.

M's hands, E's feet.

Ole´.

We ended up with some very nice pics, and we're really pleased with them!
