Ahoy!

It's properly scorchio again so we got Daisy a paddling pool to beat the heat. She had her first dip yesterday and really enjoyed it. Ness, Bob and Dave were around for a bbq so she enjoyed all the attention also!

England 0 - 0 Portugal

But Portugal won 3-1 on penalties. Bugger. Still, it wasn't a bad effort with Beckham, Owen and Rooney all off the pitch.

Here is a photo of Daisy and Flob in Guernsey. Back in the day when England's World Cup hopes were still alive.

First tooth!

Daisy got her first tooth today! There is a little jagged white edge poking through her gum in the middle at the bottom. She let the world know of it's arrival by biting Grandma Julia. Her gum has been getting harder and whiter for the past few weeks and she's been dribbling for England but we had no idea it was so imminent as she hasn't been upset or seemed sore. What a good baby! Let's hope England trounce Portugal this afternoon in the footy and it can be a double celebration.

More Guernsey stuff

We had a really good time in Guernsey. We stayed at Cafe du Moulin in a fabulous two bedroom apartment with a great restaurant downstairs. It was perfect as a couple of nights we left Daisy asleep in her room and were able to go downstairs for dinner (once with lots of friends), taking the baby monitor with us. Yay! Among other things, we had an afternoon on the beach at Cobo Bay, went to a England vs Sweden bbq at Flob and Julia's, Andy, Chris and Toby got in a round of golf and Annette and I had a lovely afternoon relaxing at a spa place. We also met Andy and Anna B's sweet little boys for the first time. Cute!

Above are a few more photos. The top one is a slightly puzzled Daisy on the ferry checking out the big blue sea for the first time. The middle one is in front of Cafe du Moulin. Lastly is at a lookout.

Beach baby

We had a fabulous holiday in Guernsey. We are about to take Daisy to the swings now so I'll do a post later but for now here is a picture of Daisy getting her tootsies sandy for the first time at Cobo Bay.

Summer holiday

We are off to Guernsey for a week tonight. It's our first trip away with Daisy so I've spent all day pondering what to take and packing 5 of everything. We are driving to Poole then taking the ferry so I've been telling Daisy all about the big boat and how fun it's all going to be. It had better be fun. We haven't had a holiday for ages so are really looking forward to getting away.

Julia has been staying since yesterday and is going to be here to keep the home fires burning while we are away. She might even find time for a spot of painting in our absence. Result.

Happy Father's Day!

It's Father's Day today and Daisy gave Andy a photo frame with her footprints on it. She was a very good girl when she had her feet painted in order to make it, no tears or anything!

We spent yesterday afternoon having a picnic on Wandsworth Common with a few friends. It was another lovely hot sunny day. Although she still gets quite hot and bothered Daisy seems to be coping with the heat a lot better than she was which is a relief. It makes her very restless at night though, boo.

We are having a very quiet day today. The only planned excursion is to the swings, but we have to be back in time to see Australia v Brazil.
