Margot Brown

...came to visit this weekend, and did a sterling job bouncing little Margot, who was clearly impressed.

Well we're having a lovely weekend, with 'liquid' copiously squirting out of both ends of the precious, often with one parent or other in the firing line.

THERE WILL BE NO PICTURES TODAY.

We rushed her to the out of hours GP, who laughed and said that there would be plenty more like that.

Dad wants to try out noisy war games on his new PS3, but since Margot only wants to cuddle or wail (or more horrible things), he just has to sit in silence, instead.

We did however manage to get out for a little walk; it's a lovely crisp bright autumn day outside.

While walking Margot around the big brand supermarket this Sunday, with her perched in her car seat on top of the trolley, we were playing the usual game of "entertain Margot and forget about the other pedestrians".

Dad was forced to debase himself as usual for her entertainment, but was rewarded with her first proper laugh (video).

We spent the weekend visiting Nana and Granddad; and got to see Great Grandma and Auntie Zoe, who were both very helpful and pitched in with the feeding and cuddling. Pictures online.

Five months of Maternity leave passes so quickly!

With a tear in her eye Katell handed Margot over to the state today, in the form of the rather pretty Fairmount nursery in Broomhall. She starts in the Yellow room.

Then with a second tear, Katell went to work, and an inbox with 5 months worth of emails about 'your size'.
