Oisín is six months old today! He has changed and enriched my life more thoroughly than I can attempt to describe in my current state of exhaustion. He's ... just ... the greatest. That's all.


He celebrated by (a) learning to roll from back to front, and (b) coming down with chicken pox. This latter circumstance is ... poxy, I suppose, but not an entirely bad thing, in that if he has to get it, it's best that he gets it good and early. The spots haven't really come out yet - it's just a rash at the moment - so it remains to be seen whether my sanguine outlook survives that development. Meanwhile, calamine lotion for the itching, Calpol for the fever, and LOTS of cuddling on general principles.
