Grandaughter number two, Meredith, was born yesterday (18th April)and looks amazingly similar to Sadie as a new born.

Birthday Party

Fun at a first birthday party for Isla. If you were at the party and wish to view the photos they are at http://www.photoboxgallery.com/4214. The password is Isla's brother's name.

Innate swimming reflexes

Here are a couple of images from a series of images that I have been doing of babies at their early (4 to 6 month) swimming lessons.
It is amazing how easily they float (the jacket is for warmth not buoyancy). They also make swimming movements when underwater and have a gag reflex that closes the windpipe. This disappears at 9 months. They keep the eyes wide open.
