Princess Elizabeth

Princess Elizabeth is looking very regal now.
Determined to hold her head up high she is in complete command of her besotted subjects. Just five weeks old she is already turning her head and following movement with her eyes. She will copy me to open and close her fingers.

With the luxury of partial detachment I am fascinated by the changes I see in her every week. Other members of the Granny Club agree that spookily, babies seems to be doing things sooner than in the distant past of Our Day - that's its not just wishful thinking. Such is the speed of accelerated evolution.

However, wind still makes babies cry and food makes them quiet although the rule these days is that they sleep on their back with their feet to the bottom of the crib.

But baby talk, silly songs and pacing the room haven't lost the magical power proven by generations. Granny knows.
