Oh, the baby does like to be beside the seaside. It turned out not to be "spots". Thursday was warm and springlike so the baby grabbed her bucket and spade and headed for the beach. The spade is as big as the baby. So really it was Biggest who got the spade, and the baby was given a spoon. She dug in the sand. Then she stuck the spoon in her mouth. It didn't take the baby long to realise sand is not good eating. The baby was interested in the gulls. And she was interested in the dogs. On Friday I found I had a pocket full of sand.
On Friday the baby went to 'Dads and Wees' and played with half of the Georges. There are two. So she played with one. Apparently she is less chatty than the Georges. But she does an excellent smile. Today Biggest was called back to poo, so the baby and I went out. We saw a lot of people we know, and the baby smiled. The people all smiled back. Then we went shopping for baby clothes. The baby is too big for her old clothes. We bought bottoms at H&M and tops at Baby Gap. I almost bought a jumper for Small, but I found a hole in it. Then we went to lunch where there was no one we knew, and the baby smiled. The people we didn't know smiled back. The baby ate cream cheese and roasted red pepper on baguette for lunch. She's very cosmopolitan.
When we came home we found the bubble machine and made bubbles in the garden, until the baby distracted one of the neighbours from her gardening. Biggest was still shovelling poo.
