It's amazing to see how a child develops. Since the summer, Puppy has shown a keen interest in expanding his knowledge. He can now count to 12, read letters of the alphabet and identify colours. He has also in most part mastered use of the potty during the daytime, to the extent of emptying waste contents and flushing the loo! We still have work to do on washing his hands after going to the loo though.

In the meantime, Ratty is now almost 7 months old. She is moving around with ease, and in the early stages of babbling. Weaning is still a bit of hit and miss, although her lower left central incisor sprouted a couple of days back.

My children are growing up!
