Texas longtooth

While we were in Texas, your third tooth started poking through. It's your Texas longtooth.


We're back home now, trying to adjust to the shift in time zones, which you're not too happy about at the moment...

Aunt Justina

You had great fun hanging out with aunt Justina in Austin.


She styled your hair so you looked like a big girl.


She made you lots of lovely food, and gave you lots of sweet kisses.


And she tried to teach you how to juggle!

Austin

On the way home from San Francisco, we've stopped off for a few days in uncle David and aunt Justina's grand mansion in Austin, Texas.


We went to the market...


...David showed you how to throw an American football...



And we spent lots of money!

Golden Gate Bridge


We walked across the Golden Gate Bridge.


This was the view:

Penny Fish

We went to Monterey Bay Aquarium (the best aquarium in the world?).

You enjoyed touching the animals...


...and the kelp.


The amazing deep sea tank held your attention for a while...


...but, to be honest, most of the time you were looking at the people rather than the fishes.

Boe-dean

We went to Boudin's famous bakery ...


... where they make bread shaped like animals...


...Then we took the cable car...



...To watch the Chinese New Year celebrations!

See Food

You ate with us in a posh restaurant in Ghirardelli Square called McCormick & Kuleto's.


Your table manners were impeccable.


But the food was a little sharp for you.

Feet

Your feet are much smaller than Daddy's feet...



...taken on the beach by the edge of the Pacific Ocean.

Tree high

We took a drive across the Golden Gate Bridge...


...stopped off at Stinson Beach...


...on the way to Muir Woods...


...with its incredibly huge trees, taller than skyscrapers...


...and older than history.




They seem to produce strange fruit indeed.

Blocks

Last time we went to visit your Yaya in Brighton, we dug out from the attic my old toy blocks.

We brought them home with us and they're your new favourite toy.


Funny to think that I was playing with those same blocks 30 years ago.

Twoth

Your second tooth has come through!

We don't have a picture of it, so instead here's a picture of you and your mum dancing to Death Cab for Cutie.

Your first New Year!

OK, it's a little late. But I thought I'd tell you where you spent your first New Year's Eve.

We went to Alex's house for a lovely meal, board games, and Rayman's Raving Rabbids on the Wii.


Given your rabbity pre-birth identity, and your proclivity for loud scrarking, you have occasionally been compared to a raving rabbid.
