27 November 08

We hadn't seen Bettina and Jo for a couple of weeks, so were glad to catch up with them at Shibaura jidokan for two hours in the afternoon. It was grey, damp and cold outside but very warm indoors, giving Emily rosy cheeks. Bettina has gone native: she was wearing a face mask, as she has a cold, and had on socks with seperate toes.

The jidokan periodically holds measuring sessions so we took the opportunity to have the babies weighed and measured. The little ones looked adorable crawling around in just their nappies. Emily was too heavy for the first set of scales, the second set putting her at 10.4kg. That confirms what my aching back has been telling me! She is 77cm long now.

Yet again she would not take an afternoon nap, but made it through 7 hours awake without getting too upset. Nick came home relatively early as there was no London call, and just made it in time to see her in her PJs before she went down for the night. When she heard the front door open and Nick call out to her, her eyes sprang open and she grinned broadly.
