    June 19, 2012

    We’ve been trying out baby yoga…have you tried it? Eliza is so tantalisingly close to rolling over.

  • Eliza, one month

    March 12, 2012

    So Eliza is now a month old –  and what a month it’s been. The three of us celebrated this mini-milestone in style with cake and a few choruses of Happy Birthday.
