    I so admire the three of you. You are young enough to be able to make this style of living work for all of you. William will be so blessed growing up on the canals of England with his mum and dad with him.

    Now, now. On the old working boat families lived and survived in a tiny living space because most of the boat was for cargo.. you will do just fine. You aren’t even to the point of stepping on Hotwheels monster trucks( one sitting beside my iPad now) in the middle of the night in bare feet. Or having a bed full of stuffed animals with a bridge made of pillows and playing Pooh sticks. My little Zella just measured, grew a full inch in a little over one month.

    Hi Family!!! I LOVED this video!!! William is just the sweetest baby! He is so handsome. I remember when our kids were babies and trying to visit our parents. It always seemed like we were moving in by the time we took all the paraphernalia we needed for the babies. We had a small Rambler car at that time and there was hardly room for us in the car once it was loaded. It really only lasts a short time, so take heart.
    You are doing such a good job being Mum and Daddy!!! Every day is a gift. Just keep enjoying him like you are now. Time goes way too fast. I just love seeing your videos. My Grandkids are your age, so the baby is a joy for me to watch. Thank you.
    I used my HOLLY bag today to take beading supplies to a friend's house for our group crafting day. Everyone asked about it, so I gave your vlog a huge plug! I told them how much I enjoy it. They may be tuning in! I hope so.
    Please email me with Williams statistics so I can complete a gift for you all. You still have my email, I think. Keep up the good work!!!!

    We bought our three grandchildren a Stokke chair each (other chairs are available) from birth. They are so versatile and they used them up to age 9. The chairs were then sold and because they had been kept in good condition they made almost as much as when they were bought new.
    Your son has the cutest expressions. I can see you having lots of fun adding stuff to the vlogs to show his reaction.
    Enjoy this precious time, it passes so quickly. xx

I can see Vic doing another reno project just to keep his hand in *L* .

    When I saw the preview of this video I couldn't resist jumping forward from April 2021 to see William! He's a strapping lad - with his parent's dispostion! You're meeting the challenges of another "body on board" with the same determination you've applied to solving the many other demands of living on a narrowboat. I couldn't have done it, and my admiration for your achievements is boundless. It looks as though you're back in the mooring of a year ago, so I'd best return to April 2021 and discover what I've missed! 😊

    Hey guys, I’m sure that this is thought of, or sorted by now. But … re heating Holly during the winter. IIRC you have a Webasto water heater? I fitted a nest thermostat to mine, both for the timer and remote operation. Also, if you dont have radiators on her, I fitted a blower box on my NB in the galley, in addition to radiators. They work REALLY well, I was amazing. So one or two of those in parallel to your calorifier piping. Sorry if this is old news… catching up! Oh PPS, if you’ve not done it, put a heat exchanger in line before the calorifier. It gives you a combi boiler type effect, limitless hot water in ten minutes instead of waiting for the tank to warm up.

For the next few years, you may as well retitle your channel to the "William and Holly Show" because those two will be taking up so much of your time that Jo & Vic could be lost and left behind - LOL!
    I know you planned and prepared for William's arrival but did you have any idea that his care would be taking up just about every waking moment?
    I absolutely love his super cool High Chair! That is just so clever.
    Are you going to start putting up links to your new gear so others can follow in your footsteps and buy the same stuff for themselves?

Boy does this bring back memories of when my kids were young and a trip to San Francisco we made, packing and unpacking everything into my SUV. We booked hotel rooms 4 nights up and 4 nights down. It would take hours to pack all the kids chairs, play beds, toys, clothes, etc... into my SUV. By the time we got to SF, I was a pro and knew where everything should go and how it should fit. It gets easier as they get older....well sort of, but that's something you will have to wait for. Cheers Vic and Jo!
