Mr E and Miss I

The best thing about the last day and a bit we've spent in East London is the chance to spend some time with the London branch of the family - especially Mr E and Miss I.

Mr E knows exactly what to do when he has a camera pointed at him by a recently arrived family member.......

We were in the very elegant Mast in Redchurch Street and Mr E was in charge of this very delicious (and quite expensive) chocolate cookie.  He laughed heartily at this shot....

The chocolates at Mast are wrapped and presented (like the precious objects they are) almost as beautifully as they taste.....

By yesterday afternoon Mr E was a lot more relaxed about the camera. He was great fun to observe and play with - over a sticker book and some socialising time with Papa and Rob (and Miss I).

Mr E and Miss I both have seriously long eyelashes....

Miss I is heading up to being 12 weeks old. She is a relaxed baby with great big dark blue eyes (and very long eyelashes), very ready to smile and interact with everyone around her - especially Mr E!

Eddie had a lovely time at Shoreditch House in the morning and was super proud (justifiably so) of the pencil case and butterfly hook he made and encrusted with "jewels".  His focus and fine motor skills are amazing, although those pesky jewels prove hard to keep track of when they roll into the cracks of the floorboards in this lovely old house.
