Milestones

A couple of milestones to mention here, and all in all this weekend has been good despite not going away.

Emma is now three months, and cooing and ahhhing so much that she gets upset if you don't talk back to her. Great, another one with no "off switch"!

We normally place Emma on the floor for some tummy time, .ie we place her on her tummy so that she will lift her head and move a lot more and therefore exercise her neck and arms. Well, yesterday she was on her tummy and pushed with her arms and rolled over onto her back! She got such a fright she cried but it the fact she had done this by herself...well, I'm a proud dad, okay!?

Lill clipped Emma's fingernails for the first time since she left the hospital. Back then, Lill had accidently clipped Emma's finger rather than the nail, and oh boy did the scream that ensued let us know she wasn't happy! But no harm was done, and they needed to be done after three months, so....Lill finally got the courage and clipped them. I'm not laughing here, mind you, I did the exact same thing to Sarah when she was little. Ah, don't you love it when history repeats itself...!!!

ODD SPOT: Cranberries are sorted for ripeness by bouncing them; a fully ripened cranberry can be dribbled like a basketball.

P.S: Yeah, I'd like to see you try this at Safeway...!!!
