Wow! I haven't written for a while but I promise I'm back for good! Thanks to all of the new readers, I have received some good feedback these past few days which have encouraged me to write more often.

Euan's been growing so fast. He is now nearly 11 months old. This time a year ago I was as big as a whale and moved like a sloth.

My baby has now 6 new teeth which he's been using on my fingers and on everything that can go into his mouth. He hasn't started crawling yet but he tries to stand on his feet on his own but he falls back on his bum after a few seconds. Well at least he's trying... :)

He is only saying a few words like 'Papa' and 'jinten' (translation from maltese: stinks); the latter which he says when there's a surprise in his nappy.

We've been to Malta last week for our first holiday abroad. The plane trip was quite tiring flying to Malta as Euan was quite restless. We didn't have an extra seat and he couldn't sleep (he found the environment too interesting!!!). On our way back however it was better as there were a few kids who tried to talk and play with him, which kept him busy. We were a bit worried that a holiday will break his routine but he adapted very easily and whereas before we were reluctant to stay out past his bedtime, we could stay out late. We put him to sleep in his pushchair and put him straight to bed as soon as we arrive home. It worked very well. Euan caught a virus which we all took in turns so we had to stay indoors for a whole week but we enjoyed the rest of the holiday. Euan enjoyed swimming in the sea and playing with his cousins.

Since we've been back, we've been to a playgroup and we have enjoyed it. The instructor plays games with the kids and even though Euan cannot walk yet, he could join in the fun!

Thanks for reading and I promise I'll write soon.
