3 months! where does the time go?


 There have definitely been some changes around our house. This little pink jacket is just the tip of the iceberg! The coat hooks should say Cartref, which is Home in Welsh, but the f broke and I only had a y spare.  

We took another little trip this month. This time it was to London to register Ayla's birth at the US Embassy and apply for her social security card and passport. She will have dual nationality. 

On the way to London we stopped in Cardiff to see Cousin Ellie and her family. This is Ellie, Kym with Ayla and Rory. Not pictured is her Husband Ian who generously drove us to the train. 

Ayla's first train ride. 

We swaddle her at night. It seems to help her stay asleep for longer stretches. This is the amazing ergo baby swaddle. Despite its clever design she still manages to get an arm out every once in a while.

We walked and walked around London. We stopped in a nice hotel for a rest and the comfy chairs so I could feed Ayla. As it turned out she wasn't hungry so it became Daddy time. Wonderful!!

Sights around Hyde park.

Ayla spent a lot of cozy time in her pram. What a little angel. 

 At the Natural History Museum we couldn't resist a picture of this pygmy skeleton and Ayla. 

 It wasn't always smiles. 

We also squeezed in a visit with my old flatmates. Sarah and Ollie are getting married next May in Italy. I hope we can go!

Daddies with Prams. We went to South Bank for a market lunch after a wander past tourist attractions for Shifty. 

 Myles is practiced being a great big brother by reading to Ayla. 

 Lindsay's bump!!!!

More wandering the parks. It was easier to walk everywhere and have Ayla sleep on us than brave the underground. The only time we did they stopped the train service before our stop for maintenance! More walking. Luckily I had the London A-Z app on my phone. 

Ayla's taxi ride. London black cabs are great because you can just wheel the pram straight into them without even folding it up!



And then we were back home, in the countryside again. Lovely. 



Happy 3 Month Birthday Ayla!!
