Jibber-Jabber

We just got back from dinner with Brian, Emily & Katy - it's always great to see what Katy's up to because she's about 7 weeks older than Jack - but 2 lbs lighter! She's crawling all over the place, giggling and can now sit up on her own - all things Jack's on the verge of. She also has 4 teeth but our little boy is still all gums. Here she is taking a look at her friend. She's gone very social!


Look at this Craig got for Christmas from my mum - he wore it last night while cooking chilli, which was lovely by the way. He'll be holding the fort next week for a couple of days as I'm going to San Antonio, Texas, on a conference. He's not bothered about coping on his own with Jack, which is great but I do still worry that he'll feed Jack raw meat and leave him in a supermarket trolley.

Jack's now sleeping on his belly, even though I put him down on his back. I sneak in sometimes (like just now) to check he's breathing. The changes come about so quick that you can't get used to any one thing. You're always scared of the next step - silly really because when the next step arrives it's okay and not scary at all (or much).


Big news today is that Beckham IS coming to the USA - to the LA Galaxy where my friend, Brian, works as Assistant Head Groundsman. He got $250 million over 5 years (Beckham, not Brian). That has to make him the highest paid athlete in the US, right? We'll have to go watch a Crew game here when they play LA Galaxy. I wonder if Posh Spice will come with him?

We talked a little bit about the BCS game tonight at dinner but we are all too upset to say too much. Shell-shocked is a good description I think. Maybe we'll feel better in oh, ten years?

Last but not least, Anthony Gonzalez said today that he's leaving the Buckeyes to enter the NFL draft. We'll miss him.
