We’re All Going on a Summer Holiday

Greetings and Merry Christmas Eve from beautiful Corlette.  We have been up here for the last week and a half staying with Gideon’s parents.

Gideon has been busy helping his parents out around the house and garden, while for Jade and I it is business as usual – eat, play, sleep.

Here are some photos from the last couple of weeks.  As always they are mostly of Jade.

 

Our Little Buddha -
Sometimes Jade falls asleep in the car, so we leave her in the capsule.  Occasionally she’ll sleep for hours!

I love getting Jade out of bed after she wakes up. 
There are usually some lovely smiles and laughs for us, especially first thing in the morning.

 

One morning last week I woke up and laughed a lot when I looked into Jade’s cot.  I found her wide awake.  She had managed to rotate her body 90 degrees and wedge herself horizontally across the width of the cot!

Playtime – Jade’s dexterity and hand-eye co-ordination has improved rapidly over the last couple of weeks.  She is grabbing everything and putting lots of things in her mouth now.

We had a lovely visit from my Auntie Hillary and Uncle Brett this week who drove down from Taree.
