Beach baby part 2

You don't have to tell me i've been neglecting my blogging duties. If it's any consolation i've been making a laundry list of the new tricks that Saffron's been turning. I haven't seen her much this week and already she has added to her vocabulary and repertoire of songs . Yesterday was her 23rd month birthday. (Don't laugh; we used to celebrate every Thursday when she was a wee one) When we said "Saffy, it's your birthday today", she very excitedly requested for "Song happy day?" and promptly ran circles around the sofa with her arms outstretched behind her - as she does whenever she's very happy or excited - while James and I belted out "Happy Birthday" to her. At the end of which she said "Blow candle?" and sweet-naturedly humoured us by blowing out make-believe candles on a make-believe cake.

This picture of her was taken at the beach on Gong Gong's 57th birthday. It's definitely one of my favourite 23,456 pictures of her. Makes me want to run out and squeeze her. Which is exactly what I am going to do now ; )
