It's been a long time...
Lots to report.
We went on holiday to Coll with Diarmid, Ellen, Colm and Catriona. Here are Diarmid's favourite pics of it! Much Rory cuteness in evidence, you'll surely agree, especially when he helped with building a sandcastle (by sitting on top of it, as if he were a flag): http://s90.photobucket.com/albums/k264/diarmidmogg/
Rory found the 6:1 ratio of adults to baby very satisfactory on holiday, and has been quite huffy since we got home ("just you, again? Where are my admiring hordes??").
Our photos aren't uploaded yet (and don't make the weather look nearly as nice as Diarmid's do) but hihglights will follow, whenever we find the camera...
Talking of losing things - we've moved house - altogether it was a streeeeeesss but to be fair the removal guys were great and did all the packing for us. (We are never, never packing our own house up again. It took them 3 hours in total. Amazing.) It's the unpacking, or lack of it, one month on, that's causing a problem. Boo.
Anyway, more importantly, in big but belated Rory news - he learned to walk on our last day in Orkney, and that must be 6 or 7 weeks ago now. He's now acting very insouciant about the whole thing, as if he's never not known how to walk. Still suffering the occasional catastrophic falling over episode, but he's getting there. In Coll he very much enjoyed it when everyone was sitting around the kitchen table drinking tea, as he would go on parade round and round and round, and wave personally at each of the aforementioned 6 adults.
Also - he has 10 teeth! Which is tons.
