Little D and X at Hayling Island


Cheap rides, a wide beach and plenty of sunshine, it was like Christmas had come early for X. Finally, the sea has warmed up enough not to have a testicle-tightening when you go paddling in it. Little D seemed to have a pleasant afternoon too, she has perfected her slightly knitted brow expression of "WTF is going on?" as the photos here show.
The look of total bewilderment has a comical quality about it. However if she's still pulling this expression at 28, I might not think it's such an endearing expression.

In the meantime, D's development has been coming on nicely. She can now hold  herself upright in her bouncy chair like Al Pacino in the sauna scene out of Scarface. She can lean forward in her pushchair, swing one arm outside of it, and peak at the outside world like a trucker scoping the world from the front of his cab. In other news, our girl has added a few more animal noises to her repertoire, especially when she's pissed off. It amazes me how when screaming at the top of her voice, you can put her down (for nappy changing, as an example) and she will continue at an even higher pitch!

The amount of noise that emanates from babies never ceases to amaze me. Our little Buddha Baby now has a cry as loud and insistent as a train whistle. Maybe she won't be as different to her older brother as we first thought.
