I’ve only got into Bat for Lashes recently. In fact I spent the morning listening to nothing else. I’ll check out the video, but What’s a Girl To Do is actually that stands out for me. I also really liked Horse & I and Bat’s Mouth.

Yea, I hear that “growth spurt” thing alot. That and ‘it’s their teeth’. That growth spurt thing though has a B Movie vibe (to me at least). Weeks go by without you needing to get new baby grow because he still hasn’t grown out of the old ones. Then one morning you look at him in his cot and its like the incredible hulk, with the clothes you put him in the night before ripped to pieces.

Three months! Already? After five it’ll plain sailing, in my experience.

Emmet is indeed thriving. He laughs a lot. Which helps.

I LOVE the Bat for Lashes album. Check out the video for What’s a Girl To Do with dudes on BMXs wearing animal heads and doing bunny hops.

Donagh, he’s doing great. Three months old today, I can’t believe it! The sleep thing is ok, he’s slipped back a bit this week but I believe we’re in the middle of a “growth spurt” so that might explain it.

Hope Emmet is thriving.

If I cared about such things, I’d say that Bat for Lashes should have got it by a mile.

Hope all is continuing to go well and that Iarla is blooming. Little Emmet is now nine months old and we’ve been getting regular sleep for a while. It is possible, though it seems easier on the second. I don’t think we got proper sleep for the first year with Hannah.
