Photos galore! (1)

Well, we're back in the UK after a lovely month at home. There are a lot of stoies to tell, but I'll just touch on the highlights. I promised photos though, and there are lots of those I want to share with you.

In the car on the way to the airport - our little Christmas pudding is now an Easter star!

Asleep in her sky cot.... She was a star traveller - slept the entire way there and back; no ear problems; no crying. Cute as a button though!


Here she is with Lorraine, who was the maid for Graeme's family for most of his life. Janel was perfectly happy, and then all of a sudden decided that she was actually hungry after all! Since everyone keeps commenting on how good she is, I wanted to prove that she does actually let rip at times. She is, after all, a normal baby.

Because we were travelling around so much, Janel spent a hang of a lot of time sleeping in my arms. I like this photo though, reminds me of Easter - mother and child with a 'star' overhead...

Our main reason for this trip was to attend Graeme's sister's wedding. Her colour scheme was lime green, hence Janel was given a little lime green outfit to wear to the wedding, with matching booties made for her by Gogo (Graeme's mom). The booties were only just large enough to fit her!

I particularly like this photo, not because Janel is showing off her nappy (although that's cute in and of itself), but because she is doing something typical - gripping any clothing she can get her hands on. When feeding, she has taken to grabbing at my shirt and hanging on for dear life, or else grabbing onto my hair and hanging on for dear life. (I am losing hair in clumps as a result!)

Like father, like daughter! The wedding and its preparations tired us all out!

As we were travelling light, we didn't take her bath stuff with us, so it was either a case of breaking our backs leaning over a bath, or bath her in the sink. The sink won.










Because the wedding was in a remote location, it became a whole weekend affair. On the Sunday, all the guests got together for a massive picnic at a really lovely farm. The weather was beautiful - sunny but not hot. Given that a baby's skin can burn in 5 minutes, we had bought her 2 sun hats, both of which were a little large. However, this cow hat quickly became the favourite. Here Tata (Graeme's dad) is showing her off to all the guests.

Now I'm having problems uploading the other images, so will publish this and come back to the rest another time.
