Party pooper!

Well, we have finally given in and accepted that we can't go to a party for New Year's Eve! We had planned to stay at my mum and dad's and see their many friends who have been such a support to us, but Elizabeth has other ideas. She is being a challenge at night to say the least (she seems to have digestive problems and Gaviscon - our last hope - did no good last night). It's clear that for now our social life (together) needs to be confined to the hours of daylight and we should stop being over-ambitious.

Luckily we have all been invited to daytime parties over the next couple of days, which will be lovely. We also have Chloe's fancy dress birthday party on the 3rd to organise. Lack of sleep forced us to give in yesterday and hire a children's magician out of sheer desperation!

The great news on Elizabeth is that she has rolled over for the first time and the attached photo is of her looking a little bit shocked at her own abilities. What a little (daytime) star. Also, the doctor has referred Elizabeth to the lovely Dr Turmer (consultant pediatrician) to keep an eye on her development. Elizabeth seems to be doing brilliantly and is as bright as a button, but it will be wonderful to have someone to keep an eye on her and make sure that the impact of her bad start is minimised.

This evening I think we will enjoy a glass of champagne and think how lucky we are to have two gorgeous little girls with us.

PS: BREAKING NEWS - Nev the Potter and the lovely Mel are expecting a baby in June. Bless!!
Also, we think that Les's partner, Michelle, gave birth to a baby boy yesterday, but the text message was garbled so we're waiting for confirmation!
