this is the background on phil's new phone. nice and cute.

well eden has decided that not only can he clap, but that it's the BEST THING EVER. so he does clap, all the time... and if he's grumpy, just start singing (preferably 'Twinkle Twinkle' for some reason) and he stop whinging and start clapping immediately!!! it's hilarious!

he has started to sleep loads better. it's been at least a week of only feeding him at 5am once he goes to bed. this makes life in general so much easier. there are still dummy calls once or twice but you don't have to wake up properly for that! once we return from canada we'll dispose of the dummy, i just think we need it for traveling and i don't want to send mixed messages.

he is getting stronger every day, which means that changing him has become a full on battle. not because he doesn't want to be changed, just because he doesn't want to lie still...he wants to kick, and suck his toes and twist and turn....

he also is way stronger with standing up. you still have to help him balance but more and more he's starting to hold his own weight.

anyway, enough for now. the sunshine is out and i don't want to waste it.
