We're coming home!
Amelia and I will be coming to the States for a 3 week visit in October, arriving in Chicago on the 1st and leaving on the 20th. Sadly, Paul cannot join us but is happy that Amelia will get to meet everyone at last. We'll miss him a lot though!

We are moving at the end of August into a new apartment. It's a bit smaller but it's closer to the train station and shops which is convenient.

The whole 'sleeping through the night' thing has ceased to exist and we're back to waking up every 3-4 hours, but we're hoping that it's just a growth spurt or teething waking her up at night -- I was really enjoying getting 6 hours sleep at a time! We continue to go to our baby group on Friday mornings and have made a couple of new friends out of it which is great. It's nice to get out of the house and go for a coffee when it's raining and there's nothing to do inside. Amelia gets lots of comments on how strong she is for her age -- rolling over this way and that and holding herself very steady. I think it will only be a matter of a month or so before she starts crawling, She already scoots herself forward on her tummy and is learning how to lift herself up onto her knees. We're going to babyproof the new place as soon as we move in!
