On top of everything else we have going on at the moment, we are changing websites! We have decided, after much discussion about how to continue Jack Henderson with a new baby on the way, to create a new website dedicated to us all rather than just Jack. So - from now on to catch up on all the latest Jack news, and to enter our baby lottery, go to www.teamhendo.com. We will be passwording

Once again, huge apologies for the lack of blogging recently. We are up to our eyes in cardboard boxes and legal nonsense at the moment, missives are all concluded for the new house and we have all of the mortgage information confirmed. We then remembered that we would have to sort out more life insurance cover, now home and contents insurance etc etc so we, or rather Ed, have been spending

Ooops, sorry, forgot this one: As your child nears his third birthday, you may notice him becoming curious about other people's moods — he may wonder why grandma is angry or his daddy is sad. Attempting an explanation ("Grandma is angry because her car isn't working") helps your child learn that emotions are normal and it's OK to talk about them. Your child is learning something about his own

Following the lack of activity and access to a computer, I have raided Rose's camera for some of the latest photos: Jack and Daddy acrobatic display team limber up in the garden "I can fly" New park, 0.3 miles from the new house "Hmmm, these swings will be sufficient for my needs" The (almost completed) house with our car outside Daddy at bathtime Jack at bathtime Tickly neck

Which is a bad sign. The first sign of getting OC again is itching, on the feet and hands. Last time it didn't bother my hands so much, but my feet were so itchy I would drag them along the rug in the middle of the night just to make them feel a little better. Last night my feet were so itchy I was scraping them on the stair carpet :-( According to my midwife, OC does not present itself until

Well, in around 3 weeks time we are on the move from here to 26 Struan Wynd down in Prestonpans. We have a lot to organise between then and now - we need to pack up our entire house (so why am I on here then!), change our address, get things disconnected/re-connected and somehow floor our entire new house. Well - we know the last one isn't really going to be done in a hurry but the rest has to

Well where can I start - its been a pretty hectic couple of weeks. Grab yourself a cup of tea and settle down, its going to be a long one! Having no PC at home has been difficult, its busy in work and I can't get on to do what I usually do when I have work to get done as well. Ed has ordered us a brand new Mac, and its on its way but we wont have it until next week. We only ordered it as we

Blogging about your life is fun, blogging about Jack's is also fun, but sometimes you are so preoccupied with other things, it takes a back-seat. Let me apologise for the lack of content in Jack's Blog the last few weeks. Sorry, its not fair on you, the loyal readers. A combination of pregnancy, me being so busy, I am dreaming about website development, attempting to buy a house and all the

Good morning / afternoon / evening people! We finally have an end in sight regarding the house move - hoorah! Gladedale want the missives signed and in their office for 12 noon on Tuesday. So - we have until Monday lunch time to sell, until Tuesday morning for a survey and then that's it. We have a potential buyer, although Ed and I will disagree on that front as Ed considers him a potential,

Life for us just seems to be plodding on at the moment, with everything in limbo until something happens regarding the move. To bring everyone up to date, nothing has happened. Our flat is at a fixed price, we are supposed to move in 6 weeks and the new house people are now chasing us for the second part of our deposit and to sign the missives. We aren't prepared to indefinitely bridge, so we

He's came out with some classics over the last few days. Ed - Jack is a human (discussing animals) Jack - I no human, I Jack Rocky Henderson! Ed held up a card with a picture of a dragonfly on the front Ed - whats this a picture of Jack? Jack - a monster bee!

...but updating blog is so hard at the moment. The laptop is well and truly gone, nothing we can do will convince it to stay on past the log-in screen. Hannah - can you re-send those photos to my email address and I will download them at work. My time on the computer at work is well and truly stumped, its the Festival and stupidly busy at the moment. Ed has far too much work on, more than he

I have a genuine and valid reason for not posting on blog this week - this has to be one of the most hectic and strange weeks we have ever had. We'll start off with Sunday though. After Jack's fun afternoon at Nanna and Da's house (as I was working late last Saturday in the vain hope I may have been able to have this Saturday off) we decided to head off to Peebles for the day with Grandma and

Wow, time is just flying by at the moment. Jack is now older than months than I am in years! We will try and get a photo done real soon. Here is this month's info: For children of this age, the line between fantasy and reality is still blurry, which may explain a toddler's fondness for telling lies. His intent isn't to deceive you; he actually wants to please you and he's figuring out what

Jack is off to nursery with his potty, stickers and 6 pairs of spare pants (just in case he has any accidnets).

Boing, boing! Because Jack doesn't have enough toys as it is, Nanna and Da have been out and got him a bouncy castle that handily fits into the conservatory (now known as the Grandchild playroom!) He's not going to want to come home at this rate!

Everyone has been phoned, emailed or msn'd so we can finally confirm to everyone that Ed has indeed knocked me up again (the phrase he used to tell his pals, charming I know!) On 25th of May we got this - A positive We kept it to ourselves until after our holiday, and then as I was so ill on holiday and struggled a when we got back we decided to tell immediate family as I desperately needed

It seems like such a long time since our last update, and I can't even remember what we have been up to! As the weather has started to improve (touch wood), Jack and I have spent a lot more time out and about, down the beach and in the garden mainly. The three of us spent the whole of Sunday pottering around the garden, mainly cutting the grass that had grown so much in the 2 weeks since we

Jack has had a miserable few weeks (well in terms of outside playing) cause its been pissing rain here in Edinburgh. Yesterday, the sun came out and it stayed out all day. He spent the day at New Nursery (morning) and in the afternoon out with Grandad and Grandma. He walked home from Nursery (met an accordion player), went to the beach, flew his kite, climbed on the pyramids and played in a

Jack's talking is coming along leaps and bounds, and his thirst for knowledge and perfect ability to ask questions so many times it makes your head hurts is just perfect. Every morning now I am woken with "My Mummy, where are you?". Every 2 seconds, I don't even get the opportunity to reply to him. When he eventually realises that I am shouting back to him, he then starts with "my get up now

1. Plug camera into TV and switch on. 2. Point camera at toddler then get him to touch his head while looking at TV. 3. Watch as Toddler stares at TV for 7 whole minutes attempting to figure out how he is on the TV, and yet is standing in front of the TV. Eh? Next time I want some peace and quiet, I'm trying this again!
