Christchurch

On the weekend we visited Fran and Stewart in Christchurch. Here's some shots playing with water in the back yard on a stinking hot day.





Papa played a dirty trick trying to lead her through the sprinklers:


... but she wasn't falling for that a second time:

It's easy to tell when Mademoiselle is hungry because she tries to climb into the high chair. Note: no babies were harmed in the taking of this photo (I managed to get the shot and catch the high chair as it started to topple):



Trying out ice-cream at Barbara and Colin's:


Someone was sneaking into the pantry when we weren't looking:

Cafe Beauborg, with Cynthia and Isabella (a.k.a. twinkle):

Bathtime and playtime with Laoise:

Playing with Jack. Jack's party trick is that he has mastered two syllables, "buh" and "ger", so he goes round saying "bugger" to everyone, which is very cute.

Packing to go - don't forget Bunny !

At the airport hotel at Charles de Gaulle, Georgia is demanding something from the room service menu:

Birthday party

Here's some shots from her birthday party. First are the construction and deconstruction of the birthday cake, then opening and playing with her presents.

You can see more shots from the birthday party at the Turner Family Website.

Morocco

Before leaving France, we went for a week to Club Med in Agadir, Morocco. The attractions were sunshine, a swimming pool and a baby club where we could dump Madamoiselle - I mean, where she could interact and play with other babies. The place was great, the staff were very friendly, the alcohol was free ... all in all, hard to fault.

Georgia was a hit, partly due to inate cuteness but also because she is tiny yet walking. So no matter where we went, people were agog. She cottoned on to this pretty quickly, and at meal times insisted we take her for a tour de table, because she knew that people would coo-coo at her and want to pick her up. She was lapping up the attention.

Packing: Are these all for me?
