things the gherkin has taught me this week

sitting on his own
Originally uploaded by summer pickles

* you can learn something really big (like sitting) in just one week

* sometimes you might fight off a cuddle, but actually, sometimes it is exactly what you needed

* there is a reason there is no baby manual... they change every day

* chicken and broccoli in natural yoghurt tastes pretty good

* it's okay (and preferable) to make a complete fool of yourself in public

* wind blowing through trees is really beautiful

* it is really funny to watch the pug chase a discarded spoon around the kitchen floor

* waving is easy, rolling over is hard

* it's always easier (and smarter) to accept help when it's offered

* there is nothing better than just hanging out together

thanks little man...
