Lee's birthday was 9th January 2001, about ten days late (she was actually due on New Year's Eve, which we spent at home waiting waiting waiting ...)

Cate's birthday was 28th September 2002, two days before my birthday.

We have plenty of photos but not enough time to play with the scanner, so here are a few select ones:

• March 2001, about eight weeks old:
  1. Helen, Paul and Lee
  2. Helen, Paul and Lee
  3. Helen, Paul and Lee
  4. Helen, Paul and Lee
  5. Paul and tired baby Lee
  6. Helen and tired baby Lee ("tired baby Lee" is from a minimalist lullaby I sing her - very repetitive, holds her attention while calming her down)
  7. Helen and Lee (nice one I think)
• Star photo: July 2001, six months old, taken after our regular research group meeting. Lee is present at all the meetings and enjoys sitting in laps and blowing raspberries at any speakers.
• Star photo: June 2002, Lee at eighteen months very very cute.
• Sept 2002, Some shots taken with the digital camera:
  1. Climbing into mummy's shoe
