Day 149 - First family holiday

We have just returned from our first family holiday together, staying in the rolling countryside of the Lincolnshire Wolds.

Millie was very good, despite a three hour car journey which was in all reality too long for her.


Our holiday accommodation was a "mud and stud" thatched cottage down a country lane next to a field of cows.

Nana and Papa came to visit, and so did cousins Beth and Florence.

We also visited them, and had a very relaxing time - once mummy and daddy got used to the idea that they couldn't do very much with a five-month-old baby in tow.

Millie herself is in fine fettle.

She weighs more than 10lbs now and is smiling more and more.

She gurgles and blows lots of bubbles, which may indicate that she will be an early talker.

Her character is developing, and although she smiles, she has a quick temper.

This is particularly evident when Millie has to sit in her car seat, to which she has taken a big dislike.

Quickly bored, she soon starts to emit howls of protest - until she cries herself to sleep or the journey ends.
