Sorry for the delay in putting up the photos - Lauren has a cold and I wasn't able to get on yesterday - due to looking after Lauren! She's much improved today, but still isn't 100 per cent.

The first photo shows Lauren in her new toy - we've hired it from a shop, and because we're a new customer, it hasn't cost us anything! Lauren loves being in it and really plays with the toys. We have it for 4 weeks, and hopefully by then she'll get bored of it. The other photo was taken at One Tree Hill - Lauren was sitting up by herself - this is the first time we've been able to take a photo of her doing this, although it does look like she's being supported by Dave's legs.

This week Lauren started eating meat - I tried her on tinned baby food first and because it was a success I cooked her some chicken and vegetables and then some beef casserole - all of which she enjoyed. She is eating most things - however she doesn't seem to like bananas - unless my sister gives them to her! Still no sign of teeth yet, so food is either mashed or pureed.

Otherwise things are going well - apart from the cold!
