I know that we’re really lucky to spend autumn mornings playing at the beach – lots of sky, ocean and sand. Baby C has just begun to notice the seagulls and giggles at the sight of them. Look at his chubby cheeks in this photo – and the blonde fuzz sprouting on his head. After a play on the sand he sat in his pram and watched Ziah and Coen race down the ramp…he stared longingly at them, wondering when it would be his turn to race the big boys. Soon precious one.

The sun warmed us up today and now C is lying in his cot talking to his friends. He should be sleeping but I think imagining is almost as beneficial.
