Wow our little munchkin is now 8 months old!  Can't believe it.  I can still recall this tiny being screaming and crying when she was a newborn, rendering us clueless.. and now Isabelle is generally a happy baby.  Except when she is hungry.  Or hangry as they call it these days (hungry + angry). A couple of milestones and special mentions in the past one month Crawl.  And by this I mean fast crawling.  She started crawling towards the end of 6 months.  By 8 months she is now a pro.  Changing her is a very big challenge.  You gotta sing, coax, do whatever it takes to stop her from flipping over and crawling away stark naked. Sleeping by herself in her own cot in her nursery at the beginning of 7 months. Prop herself up on furniture.  Standing up supported, and with both feet firm and stable on the ground.  I suspect if we get her a walker she will be walking in no time. Clap her hands.  This was pretty amazing. ...

It's been almost a month since we flew back to London.  How has life been for us you might wonder? Before I continue, I have to say that I've had such a negative experience with my new MacBook Pro (2017 version).  It keeps dying on me (power up problems), and I have now been to Apple repair for 4 times now. The guy who helped me last weekend told me he is very worried because everyone he knows with this model have all brought it back to Apple for repairs.  And he owns this same model too.  Geez... he said they found a lot of issues with this particular model.. thanks Apple.  Anyway so they have now replaced the entire "brains" of my laptop, except the screen and keyboard.  He says it should be fine now.. I hope so too. So yes back to the story of my life. Mobility is key No, I don't mean job mobility.  That phrase was from my past life lol.  Work?  What's that? Isabelle has developed by leaps and bounds in just this past one month....
