Middle Child

Gabriel gets a new brother (and continues to be a pickle)

The past month or so has seen a few new things happen.

You are beginning to talk, things like 'duck', 'da', 'ball', 'baby' .. all of course utterly unintelligible to anyone but us.

On Sunday evening we had some perfect light - allowing me to snatch the following :

You do of course have a new little brother...

You rather like looking at him, stroking and poking him (reasonably gently), giving him toys to play with in his crib (grrr! stop it already) and running over if you hear him cry.

The birth of your new brother now renders you the 'middle child' - destined to be pulled one way pushed the other and generally squashed and ignored. I am also totally sure you won't let any of the above happen - if there is any ignoring, pulling, squashing or pushing to be done, it will be you there doing it (likely with your brothers assistance).
