Settling back in


Beatrice, Zack & I are settling back into our "routine" in London after a fabulous two weeks away in Georgia. Beatrice is readjusting slowly. Saturday was tough with the jet-lag, though Beatrice did enjoy seeing her mobile again and playing with Daddy.
Beatrice was certainly happy to see Daddy, though on Sunday morning she kept looking around for everyone else. She'd crane her neck one way and then the other and then just look as us as if to say, "Are you two it? Where's everybody else?"
On Sunday we went to the zoo again. They just opened the new gorilla park, so we battled the crowds for a bit and saw the gorillas. Beatrice slept. Then we stopped to get a quick hotdog. Beatrice was instantly awake. And lusting after our very large "cup". From there it was off to see the lions again.
Jasandra came over for dinner on Sunday. Beatrice was so happy to see her! She enjoyed showing Auntie Jasandra all of her new tricks - like almost sitting up, eating her toes, reaching for CUPS!, and talking and laughing. We had a great time.
Today it's just been me & B. We'd already been outside twice by noon just to watch people on the street and look at the kids playing in the park. Luckily Beatrice's babysitter Lara just arrived, so she's happy again! But she still keeps looking around - I think she's hoping she might just see some of those faces she came to know and love in Georgia...
