5 months old!

Beatrice hit the big five month mark today! She celebrated by posing with Flat Bear and wearing the dress Grandma Elizabeth made for me 30 years ago (I wore it when I was 12 months old!)

As Beatrice gets older and more active the "posing" with Flat Bear is becoming more complicated...




Unfortunately Beatrice and I also had to fly back to London on her birthday, which meant we had to say goodbye to Mama & Dada and Grandma Elizabeth & Grandpa Bill. I think Beatrice sensed something was going on because she fussed ALL DAY LONG. Perhaps she was just trying to make them not miss her so much... In the end it took styrofoam cups and TV to calm her!



We all had a wonderful trip, and Beatrice is well on her way to embracing all of the best parts of her Southern roots - her family, large styrofoam cups, sunshine/suntans, and the accent too!

The flights back to London went as well as can be expected. No pictures this time! Beatrice did sleep most of the way, which was wonderful. Best of all - Daddy was waiting for us once we got out of Customs!
