Half-Term Updates!





Julia has half-term break this next week. We are frantically scheduling play dates and museum dates to keep busy.

Marco is almost (hate to jinx it) sleeping through the night! He goes down at 8 and sleeps until almost 7!! We feel like new people!

Julia is officially sleeping in her "big girl bed" which she LOVES so much that she shows anyone (including the Ocado delivery man) who comes over. All Teds (ie teddy bears) start out sleeping with her but end up on the floor by morning. She's only fallen out once thus far!

Marco is getting two bottom teeth!!! Despite it all he's cheery, happy and laughs all the time! (We still think he looks like Unkie Andy when he smiles!)

Marco is also almost sitting up by himself. He still does the big roll over thing where he can't get back up but he's getting closer and closer to proping himself up w/o falling! He cracks himself up as he's falling over...

Julia still LOVES her baby brother (thank goodness!). She loves to feed him, make him laugh (hate to break it to her but that's not hard), and tells anyone who asks that he's her brother.

Marco continues to love his door bouncer (thank you Karina!)! He's happy as a lark jumping up and down for what seems like hours.

I'm nursing a cold.....again, and think it may be indicative of fall/winter weather / flu season in London. I'm hoping I'm not going to spend this season sick like many folks I chatted with last year!

Fall is officially here as it's wet, wet, wet. Leaves are falling off the trees; it's been raining a ton but it's still not too chilly.

Greg and I had a FANTASTIC dinner at Notting Hill Brasserie. We highly recommend it to any potential visitors who are interested in a great, hip restaurant in a pretty trendy part of town.

Finally, we are wondering what the heck holiday it is to warrant the hundreds of fireworks???? The past two nights it's been the fourth-of-July revisited! Did we fall asleep and miss something????

More to come soon!
