Martha at 7 weeks

She's smiling more than ever, and has begun to spit up a bit too. She likes to blow little bubbles and emits a sort of 'eh' of complaint in the early stages of grissling, before the full-throated "laaa" which signifies real outrage. We are fortunate, though, because so soon as we pick her up her fury is usually eased.

Martha at six weeks

Now six weeks old, Martha is not too young to help out with the household chores, as you can see!


Among our recent visitors has been one of Martha's namesakes, Martha Hannan, who was a natural with our MHM.

Martha at 33 days

Hello again Martha followers.

Now she is more than a month old and is starting to do new things almost daily; smiles fairly consistently (below), looks about quite a bit and stretches a lot. Still pretty much useless at most things though. Except crying. At night.

Grandma and Grandad have just been to stay from the UK for 3 weeks (more than half her life), and there's a picture with her with Martha (below) on the front steps. Since she was born, we have noticed a considerable increase in interest in visiting us, and the guest room is fully booked for several weeks ahead.

Also is Carrie and Martha on a trip to Target - note that Martha was actually eating at this time
