Will has a little sister so is well practiced at taking photos with little girls. Eliza on the other hand, doesn't look quite as comfortable.
Cheryl (aka Super Gran) who after triplet grand-daughters and a new grand-daughter born in February, is still keen to have a cuddle with Eliza
Harper Cooke is a multi-tasker just like her mother, Peta

This was taken on March 26th, Eliza's thrid mirthday. Here she is practicing sitting up. She's getting the hang of it, but still needs a bit of help.
Professor Di Yerbury and her friend Mercedes came to visit us. It just happened to be Di's birthday so we celebrated with lots of cake - not that we need an excuse to eat cake at our place. 
Di was SO generous to Eliza ! She bought Eliza her first clown, her first stroller (for dolls or in this case, teddy) and her first set of red sheepskin boots for winter - modelled here by teddy.
Eliza thought she might like to be a professor one day too.
Eliza was 12 weeks old on 20 March. She has her favourite hoody draped over her because underneath she's just wearing a nappy having dispensed with her other clothes (due to a major blow out whilst visiting the National Portrait Gallery). 
Very early on March 19th, the day before Daddy's birthday...
...while I was still asleep...
... and there was dew on the ground, Daddy went on a balloon ride.
Daddy had fun helping fill up the balloon with air...
... and when the balloon was ready...
... the balloon gently lifted off the ground and left Mummy and me way down below.
Daddy's balloon sailed gently over the lake...
... over the Governor General's house and other Canberra landmarks.
After about an hour of flying through the crisp morning Canberra air, the balloon landed gently in a nearby field with a very excited Daddy safe inside.
While in Canberra we had dinner with Helen, my former singing teacher, and her husband Lin. Eliza showed Helen how she can oooohhh and aaahhh and chatter away. She was clearly warming up for her first lesson. 
E: See, I'm actually quite good at singing already !
As usual, the singing lesson ended with a nice glass of wine. 
Our first night in Canberra was spent picnicing by the lake. 
Eliza gave the deli platter a miss and stuck to her staple milk shake.
Brian and Jane tucking in.

A stunning sunset in the national capital.
17 March 2010 - Eliza waking up mummy in the morning (with a little help from her Dad).
Today we had lunch with the other Eliza - Eliza Dulson, who is a gorgeous girl. Brian and I would be delighted if our Eliza turned out to be as lovely as Rachel & Peter's Eliza. Here Eliza is having her first cuddle with Eliza !

Rachel Dulson having a cuddle with Eliza Spencer at Bellevue Street (No. 17), just down the road from our new house at No. 3.
Brian and Eliza sharing a special moment watching the rugby.
Each morning Brian brings Eliza into our room and sings songs to her. As you can see, she loves her Dad's singing, or maybe she's laughing because he makes up the words to nursery rhymes that he can't remember. 
Eliza in her party dress all ready for lunch with the Gang of Four (little girls and their parents).
The Gang of Four - Daan with Lillian (youngest member of Gang of Four), Gareth & Leonie (Florence's parents), Brian and Leah (Lillian's mum).

This is Dr Dan's house - a grand old house sub-divided into colonial styled bedsits for visiting doctors just 100m up the road from the hospital. Dan's room is at the front with the balcony (unfortunately not safe to use) with kitchen window on left and bathroom window on right.
