So, yeah, the big news in Shanville this week hasn't been anything to do with my books, but with my little 10 month old daughter Gaia taking her first steps. Click on the link or photo for a video from a few days ago, when she was just starting to get the confidence to take more than a few stumbling steps. Now she's running round the house and chasing me with a whip, making me feed her more Ella's pouches!!! :-)
