me being slightly less excited about it all

with michael being a lot more mobile now, things are getting both more exciting, and more challenging. we've had a quick stab at babyproofing the flat in edinburgh, but he's still managed to pull the phone off the wall, out of the socket, grab the wii controllers, headbutt the video, change the channel on the tv using the remote and loads of other things.

michael's had a lot of visitors in the past few weeks while, and it's really great to see people popping down to see him.

we're heading off to stake conference today, which is a semi-annual church thing. it's bringing back memories as michael arrived on the same day as the last one (in january). that seems like a lifetime ago. let's hope that today isn't as painful as that day was, but there's no danger of it being anywhere near as rewarding. we've tried to make michael look a little smarter than normal. that's the tanshall (my primary school) tie that he's wearing!
