Timothy Theodore James Parkinson He's a year old next month and this is a pic from the day he was born. Today he called my name for the first time and I am really buzzing about it.
Are you kidding???!!! It's been a YEAR already? It seems like it was just a few weeks. I know Christopher started writing your dd right around then. Man, it goes so fast doesn't it?
So great that he said your name. That is precious!
Jo was in her element that day, and rushed about, with her gown pinned up, her hat anywhere but on her head, and her baby tucked under her arm, ready for any lively adventure which might turn up. Little Teddy bore a charmed life, for nothing ever happened to him, and Jo never felt any anxiety when he was whisked up into a tree by one lad, galloped off on the back of another, or supplied with sour russets by his indulgent papa, who laboured under the Germanic delusion that babies could digest anything, from pickled cabbage to buttons, nails, and their own small shoes. She knew that little Ted would turn up again in time, safe and rosy, dirty and serene, and she always received him back with a hearty welcome, for Jo loved her babies tenderly.

What I've learned this week...
1. Timothy gets a rash if he eats too many mandarins in one day. My first child to have any allergies/ allergy symptoms.
2. A pig's squeal can be as loud as 110 decibels. The pig we helped catch yesterday was certainly trying to be that loud!!
3. Kei (said like 'ki' from 'kite') apples come from South Africa and look like tiny apricot/apple things and are pretty sour. Making chutney with them requires a LOT of sugar.
