It's been an absolutely gobsmackingly beautiful, summery, week in London and it's been very hard to resist my urge to Instagram all the time, which is why there are so many here - I'm afraid this app is still a big novelty which I'm sure will wear off soon and I'll be back to my trusty Nikon. Everything's just been looking too good and the great thing about taking pictures on your iPhone is that I have it with me, wherever I am and whatever I'm doing. So as obsessed as I am with recording my life, Instagram is the perfect instrument - even if the results look a bit shoddy when not viewed on an small iPhone screen.

Aside from it being the warmest and sunniest week of the year so far, my children have been extra-specially incredible this week. Ruby is being just the most affectionate and loving big sister to Lookie. I can't belive how protective she is and how many cuddles she needs from him. And in return he just loves every big, crushing, rough, cuddle from his big sister.
On Wednesday (April 6th 2001), Lookie started making noises that sound like his first attempt at rudimentary conversation. Lots of bababab and dadadadad type sounds but they are lovely to hear. And Ruby keeps making us laugh by saying 'Justin Bieber' a lot. I'm sure she's no idea who he is but she just likes how it sounds.
Ruby also made the very first financial transaction of her life. We packed her off to Mary's the other day with £1.00, of her own money and she used it to order a babychino in Roundwood Cafe. She said to the person behind the counter, 'a babychino please, I have money'. She handed over her £1.00 and collected her 75p change. I think that's a big moment in a little person's life.
