Ellen was born on 26th July 1995 in Huntingdon and weighed 7lb 10oz (much to Alice's surprise!) The little'un is now almost 4 and can now recite about a dozen nursery rhymes. Ellen can write her own name and, since someone said that all good artists sign their work, Ellen now writes 'by Ellen' on the pictures she draws! Some recent and not-so-recent photos are below (NOTE: these are JPEG 24-bit colour images).

Various pictures of Ellen at 3 years old.

A nice collection of photos of Ellen when she was 2 years old.

	Alice and I went to National Childbirth Trust ante-natal lessons. This picture shows the result.
	Last year, we had a midweek break at CenterParcs in Thetford only about an hours's drive from home. The pool there was wonderful - at least Ellen thought so as you can see in these pictures.
	Ellen certainly has a healthy appetite and nowadays likes to feed herself (which can be a bit messy as can be seen here).
	Last year we had a weeks holiday in Woolacombe, North Devon. This picture shows Ellen on a farm in Devon being more interested in the bark under a swing than in the scenery.
	Ellen can walk now and has mastered the stairs. She is also very interested in the telephone on the landing. This photo is of Ellen being rescued by her mum.
