Rugby head

We've discovered Georgia is a rugby fan. We perched her in front of the TV and she went crazy talking to the screen. Like a loyal Frenchie, she was cheering for the Irish over the hated English.

Charles

Business as usual for the past few days, except that Georgia got her first vaccinations. No dramas there - she didn't get a fever, nor was she unusually grumpy, but her appetite has been down a bit.

Georgia found a new play mate, and a new play mat. This one is called Charlie, an English/Irish/French baby, so he has half of the six nations rugby tournament covered. He is son of Louise and Tom, who we met at the ante natal class. It looks to me like she's trying to shove Charlie out of the photo.

T'riffic trio

Here's a lineup of the three angels, and the three young chickadees (I'm not saying which is which) at what is probably the first of many G&T sessions. From the left, Isabella and Cynthia; Georgia and Andy; Laoise and Cliodhna.



The proud but somewhat alarmed fathers; Phil and Dave.



And who is proud of her puku?

Georgia on my mind

Due to the overwhelming public reaction we received to our last video, here is another one.

It's big (8MB). And for the full experience, make sure you have the sound turned on.

Back again

It's been a while since the last post since Georgia has had a cold and has been neither cute nor photogenic. But she's back to full form in time for her two month birthday.

It looks like Mum is training her to be a hybrid French-kiwi girl, or at least confused - Andy was recently heard to say to her "voila, eh!".

In other news, for those who know him Phil the Englishman is now a papa. Isabella Eloise was born today, weighing 4kg, healthy, hairy and with a cone head - one more in a long list of girls among our friends over the past six months (ours, Pierre&Clio's, Arnaud&Marissa's, Nicolas&Natalia's, Mark&Michelle's).

Olympic games

The coldest day for a long time, it didn't get above freezing so there was nothing to do but stay inside and play. She is starting to grasp things now. Soon she'll be reaching for food, then my wallet, then the car keys...

Video

Here is a video of Georgia messing around at home.

Depending on your computer, you may need to click the start button twice. The file is over 4MB in size, so it may take a while if you have a slow connection.

Jolly jumper

Yippee !! She slept through the night !! Well, almost - she woke us at 6.30, which I'm told is normal for many people but is pretty shocking for a European economist. Georgia is growing.

She is now 53cm long, and can fit into some of the bigger clothes that people have sent over. Here she is in Fran's jumper.

Flashback

When Georgia was 3 days old, a professional photographer took some shots in the hospital. As you can see, she has changed heaps since then. Apart from taking some terrific photos, the amazing thing was how the photographer managed to hurl Georgia around like a rugby ball without so much as a peep out of her. When we tried, she howled.
