Mexico!

During the holidays, C-bao took a very special trip down to Mexico. She had been asked to be the flowergirl for C-Mum's cousin Stephen's wedding. Having done the flower girl thing before, this was old hat to her, and C-bao accepted the kind offer on the spot.

C-bao was all business at the airport, marching with purpose and a sense of destiny.

Except, of course, when she was hanging out with her cousins, which was most of the time. Here the kids react to a directive to "calm down and be quiet." (Cousin Justin was ill with a stomach bug and didn't join us until a couple of days later).

C-bao always loves hanging out with C-Grandmum, and walks with her hand-in-hand through the Mexico terminal.

The girls continued to be all smiles on the trip over to the hotel, despite the late hour (past midnight). Here they are in a hotel van, pretending not to be over-stimulated.

More to come!

Wail & Arch

C-bao has recently discovered (i) the cat wail; and (ii) the back arch, and has begun to use both discoveries liberally and inopportunely, and often together.

The former applies when the little one is excited, dissatisfied or bored (describing about 99% of her waking hours).

The latter occurs most frequently when she is on the changing table, being held, or when seated in her bumbo or high chair (describing about 95% of her waking hours). The below is a typical 25 second segment of her life.
