If you want to read in series start here: Digest 2009 In February 2007 Sophie had a couple of massive seizures, which we wrote about at the time. The ER had to administer high dosages of two different anti-convulsants, then kept her under observation ... http://www.adlards.com/2010/01/09/sophies-story-the-beginning/ We had had enough of the 98% humidity when we left our tents on Saturday. I mean like completely enough. I mean enough 'til, like, January or something. We came to East London in October for a two week break and have stayed. For the past six weeks we have camped ... http://www.adlards.com/2009/12/10/digest-2009/ Emily took three steps today from the end of the kitchen to Mum. She's staggered one or two accidental steps before, these were her first considered steps. As with every childhood milestone reached: much jubilation despite impending chaos. http://www.adlards.com/2009/06/30/three-step-tuesday/ It was beautiful.

Dialogue of the day: "Dad, that's a really big ... http://www.adlards.com/2009/06/06/happy-birthday-soph/ We have a P..P..Pigeon Problem. Well, not so much us as our bird-brained but rather dear dog, Ruby. A couple of weeks back we woke - two mornings in a row - to find that Ruby had mined the area around the beanbag she sleeps on. She'd taken the added ... http://www.adlards.com/2009/05/10/the-pp/ (and if we may say so too) ... we wouldn't be us if it wasn't for you. Happy Mother's Day! http://www.adlards.com/2009/05/10/if-i-may-say-so/ It's a corker. A hint of Autumn chill despite being 20-some degrees. Just a teeny bit of work to do, otherwise treehouse building. We spoke to the doc's office yesterday and need to wait another 3 weeks for Sophie's results :| Very serious sense of humour loss yesterday, better today.
