Photobombing and other nonsense...

We had a lovely visit today from Jen, Nikki, Esme and Orla.  

Esme has lost her two front teeth and was teased that kissing boys was the reason.  Yuk! was her response :-))  So we concluded she'd been stealing the sugar.  That was a more acceptable reason to her.  I gave her the book P brought for her from America (written and beautifully illustrated by P) and it was a hit with Esme and Orla as Jen read it to them.  (P I forgot to tell you she was blown away by the illustrations :-)

They all had a dook in the pool.  Esme is a water baby and I think Orla is going to be the same.  Loves it.  

Orla's character is starting to emerge and she is just delightful.  The most contented baby ever.  She sleeps from 8pm to 8am, feeds without fuss, naps without needing shoogled and wakes up smiling and just blethers away to herself.  She has such an expressive face and a great frown.  Her eyes are getting darker and I think she's going to take after her dad with dark hair and hazel eyes.  Esme takes after Nikki with fair hair and blue eyes.  

I got lots of cuddles with Orla which was great as I missed out last visit as I was loaded with the cold (that turned out to be covid!) 

It will be ages before we see them again as when we get back from our week away, they're heading to Spain for the best part of three weeks.  Orla will have grown and changed again and Esme's front teeth will be making an appearance.

And in a blink it's the end of May and the end of spring!  Bring on summer!  

P.S. Esme is wearing a Kansas City Chiefs American football top. According to her, this makes her Taylor Swift ;-))))
