Ok this post has been hanging around to long now - I will endevour to sort phots out later - this is going live like it or not!
Two weekends ago now lots of fun stuff happened which never got blogged about due to the 'jinx' stuff so I thought I'd best catch up on writting about it 🙂
First off there was Thursday, after the business stuff was done and sealed in London, we went to Charlee's perants house to meet up with her and Andy as me and Jean hadnt made it into zone one due to the heat! This was a very pleasant evening were I got given a wonderful purple top with sparkly beads and got to take photos of more cats! Plus I was impressed with the techno garden set up 🙂
Jean really loved it 🙂
Friday was the Front Wire Summer party in Guilford - so off me and Al went to that, it was another nice day with the added bonus of the trapoline!
I found some strange statues in the garden called Paul, Al and Seth!
I was very happy at this party surrounded by geeks doing sport!
Saturday saw us in Romford market buying stupid quantities of bombay mix! as we havent found anywhere that even comes near the fruit and nut stall. We also bought all the prizes for the village feast tomboler whilst we were at it. Then off into London again to meet up with people - a loo stop at Ikea which closes at midnight! resulted in me getting the alien rainbow knives, forks and spoons I saw at the beginning of the pregnancy and wanted to wean Jean with 🙂 I still cant imagine who would desperatly need furniture at 11 at night though?!
Sunday saw my Dad's thing at Rainham Methodist church were Jean made some friends! Followed by a flyby visit to more friends and a charity tea and cake session. (sorry this is probably boring to anyone whos not family). Then of course we picked Mini up and had a lovely everning with Earl and Rime - they have a great roof space where you can see loads of London with funky pigeons and pipes everywhere 🙂
Jean has not only discovered Shadow Baby, a friend and companion like Mirror Baby but she has taken to playing Patter Cake with it!
This is quiet sweet to watch - you place her infrount of her bedroom door and she goes to grab the shadow - squeals in delight at the reaction and then sits there thumping the flates of her hands on the wall - me and Al have been trying to teach her patter cake with limited sucess but this really does look like she is playing patter cake with her shadow!
Also if you say patter cake to her she will 'give you five' a couple of times - today whilst we were sitting in the illfated car awaiting cooling she actually did a proper Patter Cake action with me 🙂
Unfortunatly we missed Jeans perants everning at the nursery, duw to flooding incident, which was a shame as they take photos and log all the stuff shes done so far 🙁 Oh well next time!
Jean will hate me for this when she is 21 - laughs evilly.
Yesturday Jean did her first poo in the potty - now all we have to hope is she starts asking for the thing so we can stop using nappies!
Apologies to those eating breackfast!
Well, the latest snapshot of NetBSD/cute now supports the kitten(4) driver.
I tried to get a screenshot of kitten running with my two black and white devices, but while I was preparing it, I ran into a resource conflict with the existing baby(4) driver:
I managed to jury-rig a bus isolation mechanism, however:
Last Thursaday thanks to David and Michelle Jean did some small amounts of crawling - add this to the kittens which Jean has been more than entranced by and well....
This morning she was loose on the carpet and not in her play pen - she spied the kittens and to mine and Als happy amazement, she made a bee line for the kittens on the other side of the room. She got a fair speed up too!
She got to the kittens who were stupid and sat there whilst she clumsily stroked them! I was suprised I thought she'd try and grab them but she didnt but she did get a bit heavey with them, resulting in them running away! I really thought I'd be dealing with a scratched baby but no - they appear to have a reached a mutial understanding - ie the kittens stay slightly out of reach. they all sit and watch each other;)
