Normal service will resume soon


After taking 2621 photographs and movies our digital camera has malfunctioned, hence the lack of postings of late. Let's face it, you don't open this blog for the text do you. We'll try to get it fixed and post up some new pics in the next few days. No real news here. Sophie grows cuter by the day. I'm amazed how well she has taken to solid food. Last night she tucked into cauliflower cheese, pumpkin and peach/pear compote (all lovingly prepared by her mom). The Beast, who is now on a diet (see earlier post), sits underneath her at feed time, anticipating fall-out.

Tub of lard

Lottie went to the vets the other day and the vet made a comment that she was getting fat. This has prompted us to put her on an immediate diet. However I think this increase is perceived. My own records show that her weight has remained static for almost a year (e.g. since she stopped growing ... she is only two). The above scientific graph illustrates this. So what do you think? Should we skinny her up a bit or let her continue on her current weight of 9.1 kg?

Back in Den Haag

We've just had two consecutive weekends in the U.K. (Manchester - Simon and Dawn's wedding; Birmingham - Auntie Gertie's 90th birthday). Staying in hotels is really difficult with a little one. The Hyatt in Brum might be posh but the pool is too cold for babies. Anyway, enough moaning; we're back now and enjoying a chilled out weekend in Den Haag, going to the beach, cooking, eating and watching TV. Beastly survived her 12 night stretch in the kennels but now suffers with separation anxiety every time Jo or myself leave the room (we're too soft with that dog).

Half a year later


Sophie is 6 months old today. To mark the event she has been awarded a seat at the table, a privilige Lottie can only dream of.
