First family holiday

This is already a few months ago - we went to Tenerife in January when Benjy was six month old - but I wanted to put some photos here. We had a brilliant time. I think Benjy could pick up on mine and Ed's 'holiday mode'. He was even more happy than usual, and that's saying something. He spent the week kicking his feet - which for the first time in his memory weren't under several layers to keep out the cold - and blowing raspberries, which was his latest trick. It was on holiday that he started being able to drag himself on his tummy, in his desperation to get to the baby wipe packet to play with, and also where he perfected the art of the suction kiss. He swam outdoors, played on the grass and saw the sea - which absolutely fascinated him - for the first time. Eddie and I had been a little unsure about how a holiday with a baby would be but we needn't have worried. It was one of, if not the, happiest of all our holidays.
