i was a happy baby on sunday morning. had my milk and was watching mama read the papers. then of course, true to my ellis genes, i had to strike up a conversation. mama talked to me and played peekaboo with me.

mama got an even wider-grin picture of me that she took on her phone-camera. she sent it to aunty V and .. aunty V said i had "hamster cheeks".

i seem to be accumulating nicknames .. chunky monkey, hamster and mama calls me "pork chops".
