1. Pattern

2. 9 Jun 2002

   In the past week, George has changed from a crying/feeding/sleeping machine into a more aware, interested baby. He has many spells of being awake, looking round and playing on his play mat. He is starting to make a variety of cooing noises too. On more than one occasion, he has woken in the night just once, although last night, it was three times. Still not bad.

   

   Already, he is lifting his head off the ground. Emilia took months to do it, and he hated being on her stomach.

   

   Emilia has been waking up very early and I realised that the sun was getting into her room. I put a blanet over her curtains last night and managed to take the curtain rail off the wall. Oops. She is saying more and more words every day. Unfortunately, some are like "out" and "down". She says "no" a lot too. Ask her a question at the moment, and she will answer "no!". Works both ways

   "Do you want to watch a video?"
   "No!"
   "Good. I can watch more football then"

   World Cup fever hits the UK. Before the Angentina game (oh yes!) I was in the local corner shop, listening to two old ladies discussing the tatics Sven deployed against Sweden. What is this country coming to?

   Finally finished the remarkably brilliant Night's Dawn Trilogy, by Peter F. Hamilton. About 3000 pages in total, it took quite a while for me to read. I usually chew a book in a day. A totally brilliant series. I finally took a reading break Sunday evening, and caught a bit of Big Brother. Never the most exciting programme (can you read the understatement here?), but the idea of splitting them up is interesting. Maybe it will liven it up a little.

   I like the photographs. Dominic was a tummy baby (he would scream until he was put to sleep on his front) and as a result lifted his head and crawled really early...
   As for the World Cup, even my school - a trad private dusty dinosaur of a place - has suspended the exam timetable so we can all watch the second half in Assembly tomorrow. Wonders will never cease. I just hope we win so we don't have lots of upset pupils taking their exams later that morning!

   Your kids are lucky. I've a friend who is a teacher at a school where they are not letting them watch it. I predict riots.

   It is 3am and the only way George will sleep is if I continually walk up and down the living room at a consistent and slow pace. (1)
