Long holiday huh. It takes a long time to come back to earth once you've relaxed and forgotten about work. Had a great holiday, our first as a family. Stayed in a small quaint'ish cottage in Bude, Cornwall. Cornwall is as they say a beautiful part of the country, spent the week visiting small villages and lying on the beach. We even managed to pick Englands best week of sunshine this summer, perfect. As with every holiday, plenty of time to assess all the things your doing wrong and build a plan to change them. Back at work the time vanishes and unless your absolutely dedicated, so do the plans. Not this time.
He had his first tooth whilst we were away, pushing up to shine a little piece of white in his red gums. We all looked and thought of him growing up already and only now the reality of it has dawned on us. The happy little boy we took on holiday is no longer quite so happy, in pain he doesnt understand he can at times be inconsolable which is heart breaking, teething gel and calpol as our last ditch is all we have to help him out. And of course now he isnt sleeping through the night anymore....

He's into his six to nine months clothes now, he's really starting to look like a little boy now. Its weird that in a few months he'll be crawling around and a few more maybe even walking around.
Cornwall beckons and its our first holiday together as a new family. The car looks like its going to 90% full of his stuf and just the glove box for the two of us. I am beginning to understand why people buy giant estates now, though I'm holding off ever actually getting one.
