Family

My new niece Caitlyn Rose is a very pretty baby. She will have chubby toddler cheeks which fade back into high cheekbones and a delicate pointed chin. She has her fathers ears and her mother's hair.

She is a quiet baby (so far) and I was present for her first whinge.

I declined the offer to hold her. 
She is too little.

  1. Do you know I refuse point blank to hold babies? I find it just too much responsibility...plus I hold them like a bomb threat...

  2. and quite rightly too - they could go off any moment - in any direction - i was witness to an exposive poo that spouted out the but crack of one nephew and heard tale of the vomit in the mouth - being close to babies is dangerous

  4. i like to imagine that Miles is like the character played by whatsisface in About A Boy.

  5. by golly - if Miles/Michael was anything like Hugh Grant it is quite possible I would fly forthwith to Tasmania and tackel him in the street.

    (I have a thing for high grant since Impromptu - sigh - i love that movie)
