Alcatraz

On the day you were born, the law changed in the UK to allow parents to share maternity leave. So, after 10 months of maternity leave, your mum is now handing you over to me.

But I'm not your sole full-time carer just yet, because she's used all the annual leave she accrued from last year so we can have a month off together.

We've home-swapped with a lovely San Franciscan lady, so for the next few weeks we're living in her apartment in Golden Gate Heights, and she's living in Brixton.

Today, we played tourist and visited Alcatraz.

It was a sunny day.

There were great views of the city.

But you didn't eat your lunch, so we had to discipline you.

Your mum has done some great posts about what we've been up to in San Francisco at her blog.
