Boat Race 2010

Lucy has invited some friends round for a Boat Race party. Jonny is unimpressed by Stew's rabbit impression.

Pink is unimpressed as Grandma starts an anecdote. Oh the irony.

Any body language experts will be able to decipher how well it is going down with Grandad and Jonny.

Lucy tries to remind everyone that we are meant to be watching the race as Milly dresses Aunty Pink up in the entire contents of Lucy's dressing up box.

It's actually an improvement on what she was wearing when she arrived.

In order to keep discipline the more rowdy members of the audience are kept caged at the back of the room.

As you would expect, Unkey Kev enters into the spirit.

Upsy Daisy and Grandad relax after the race. Turns out some toffs from Oxbridge won.

Pink tries to look serious. Fails.

Boat Race Day

The last time we took Sprock to the Boat Race she was about 4 days old. She doesn't appear to have noticed Oxford going past in the lead. But then neither does Aunty Piiink.

Ah - they seem to be taking more notice of Cambridge trailing through in a not very close second place.

But then as most people agree the flotilla that follows the crews is far more interesting that the race itself. Watching a load of home counties students rowing is clearly no match for 50 odd boats with impressive wakes.

Of course Aunty Piiink was more interested in getting Spoink to wear her cap.

Despite her initial reservations, Lucy seems to quite like the idea.

Cheese!

Boat Race Day

First things first. Like most babies, Lucy has some downy fur that will fall out soon. So Ali wanted to capture her cute little downy ears before the fur disappears.

Aunty Lorna generously bought Lucy this Snuggle Farm set. It will be great for her hand eye coordination later on but at the moment it is just really appropriate that it is a big hen at Easter.

Aunty Lorna love Lucy big time :-)

So we always go and see the Oxford and Cambridge boat race. It is a load of toffs and I don't care who wins, but it is a cracking good day out. So we decided that this would be Lucy's first trip out in her new pram. Of course we dressed her up in an Easter Bunny outfit.

Ali loves Lucy the Bunny big time :-)

Aunty Maxine gets to meet Lucy for the first time.

Here is Ali walking home from the Boat Race.

And what did we find when we changed Lucy's nappy when we got home? Her umbilical cord has fallen off (having been clipped at birth). So now it should only be a short time until we find out if she has an "inny" or and "outy" :-)
