Mommy's Back on the Blog!
As promised Mommy posed for a photo with Ian tonight. Don't they look great?! We've all had a terrific day hanging out - nothing too active for any of us, and perfect for Barbara to have some quiet time. This is the last posting on the Blog about Barbara's condition and progress. The many telephone calls, cards, gifts and flowers she has received have been wonderful and a great tonic for recovery - thanks to everybody out there for reaching out and to the many who have provided dinner for us too. You were marvellous! Feel free to call Barbara at some point soon to catch up, but know she is really on the mend and with the medical support she continues to receive over the next few weeks we are confident she'll 100% in the very near future.

Tonight's second photo shows Ian in the 'tummy' position. His neck strength is improving now and he holds himself up nicely (though seconds after this shot was taken he did keel over!). He continues to sleep for 9 - 10 hours straight (Thanks, Son!) and is now reaching for things and holding them as well as putting all his fingers in his mouth!
