What an eight days!

It's been eight days since we last updated the blog and already we don't know where to start. With that in mind, we should take things one step at a time. The most monumentous of these steps is the introduction to planet Earth of baby Adelaide: Noah's beautiful, new cousin.

On Monday we threw our stuff and Noah into the car and made the journey north to Stafforshire where the great hospital is. But it's not just famous for that, it's also the new home to baby Adelaide. Cheryl and I were so intrigued to be seeing a brand new born baby as it's been nearly 9 months since Noah was one.

She is an absolute treasure. Her little head is perfectly spherical  and her fingers are so dainty and long. Her face is so small and delicate and completely beautiful. For all the time we were there, she pretty much slept, saving all of her energy for the night time when mummy and daddy want to sleep.

Noah seemed largely non-plussed and when he did show an interest, we had to guard Adelaide and hold Noah back like you would a large dog. He is just too big and strong. We did get some good pictures of them together though.

We can't wait to see her again.
