Catching Up
Well, we certainly were busy over the festive period. Which means there is plenty of catching up to do. I'll do my best over the next few days to deal with the backlog - I expect we'll be caught up by June (approx). Still, in the meantime
You'll swoon at Bluet's new tricks*.
You'll be awed at the amazing places Bluet has been.
You'll cry with laughter with Bluet (not at her).
*Check back tomorrow
For starters, here is Bluet going a little bit mentile on the 8 1/2 hour train ride to Aberdeen. As you can see, so much time on the train had interesting side effects effects. Usually 'That's Not My Monkey', whist good, is just not that funny.
(This video also serves as a record of her 8 month birthday, filmed on December 17th, somewhere in Scotland).
And as the old saying goes, New Year, New Feature - Today we introduce the audio section of the blog. Basically, I discovered how to record sound files and put them online, which is great as Bluet is now talking much more than before. (And you can even download them as mp3s to listen to at your convenience).
As an introductory offer, here is the response Bluet had yesterday to seeing an iPhone; clearly Steve Jobs understood how to create universal appeal.

The day everything became hilarious
Bluet was 4 months old on Wednesday, but we were so busy laughing at her laughing that we didn't have time to make a sign to record this for posterity. It's possible that documentation of 4 months and a few days will be forthcoming.

3,000 Hits, and, Grabbing Stuff
Ah, I see we have reached 3,000 hits, and I may have (rashly) promised some pictures from a recently discovered treasure trove. Well, they are coming, hopefully over the weekend, when Bluet is asleep.
In the meantime, some development updates.
This week, the laughing has continued (although we keep needing new jokes; now, a fake laugh or some heavy breathing makes her laugh). Also (top tip) blowing raspberries on her tummy is hilarious for both Dad and baby. Talking of tummies, it seems all the food she has been consuming the last few weeks is being converted to making her long rather than wide, which is a relief to everyone.
She has started to grab stuff - e.g. the ear of Uncle Nick's Tiger, Great Auntie Linda's rabbit (pictured below), clothes (in the video below), a plastic ball frame thing (you'll understand once you see a pic), hair and most excitingly of all, the plastic packet her baby wipes come in - it makes a great noise - you may have heard her kicking it in some previous vids. I figure we can save a lot of money on toys if she will play with her baby supplies.
She is still not ticklish. This is fascinating to me. After all, if at some stage in life we are immune to being tickled (and believe me, I've tried the soles of the feet, the armpits etc etc - maybe I need to buy a tickling stick?), then why on earth would you develop ticklishness? Seems ridiculous.
She also likes to wrap herself entirely in her knitted blanket (below). Now, my brother (I won't tell you which one to preserve his dignity) had a blanket he acquired whilst we lived in Denver. He named that blanket 'Raa' and kept it for many years until it fell apart. She loves her blanket. Could history repeat? Will she still have her blanket in 20 years time? Only time will tell.
She sucks her left thumb (although often she actually sucks her whole hand, which is less satisfying). Does this mean she is left handed? I hope not as we have only right handed scissors.
