"naa naa" (night night)

A video to sum up a bit of what she learned over the last month. She loves kissing, usually with a lot of tongue and slobber. Kael had the pleasure of a bunch of kisses last week which left her covered in saliva from her chin to her eyebrows! Thanks to Grampa for teaching her where her nose/snout is! I am not sure she is as clever as she makes herself out to be, at the time of videoing this I could have asked her where her tummy was and she would have pointed at her nose!  As ever, she is a bright and wonderful girl who keeps us smiling.

Holiday pics part 2! France!

 Wonderful, wonderful France. Flora loved the pool, loved chomping away at pain au chocolates every morning while sitting outside at a cafe with the grandparents and Uncle James. She was well looked after by her cousins and absolutely enjoyed every minute of attention that they gave her! When we got home she told me that we should have another baby because "there are three over there so there should be three here"....
Iris was a champ. Slept well during the day, sometimes less well at night! She coped well with the heat and seemed content to crawl around the garden trying to find ways to cause trouble.

 First dip in the pool. Of about 3. She didn't love the idea of it.

 Spent loads of time on the swing. There is something about swings for her, once she is on she can't help but sing. I love that.

 HAHAHAHA! 

holiday pictures! First few days in England

 Got to beautiful Corbridge on Monday, and left for France on Thursday morning. It didn't give us much time to let the girls work through their jet-lag but we did manage to enjoy the first few days in an exhausted sort of way. Iris and Flora managed the flight very nicely. Unfortunately the little fella next to us didn't and kept us all from getting some much needed sleep on the way. Flora was glued to Grandma and Grandads side right from the start and stayed this way through the whole holiday! She got her very own basket to go to the bottom of the garden to pick fruit with Grandma to make some jam and I think this was probably one of the highlights of the trip for her.

On the move!

So proud of this little one! Iris is on the move constantly now. She totters around the house not quite with ease, but with confidence and excitement!

Will post our holiday pics asap along with new videos!
