18 Months

First holiday

We had a great two-week holiday in the Jaz Mirabel Park resort in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. You loved the infant pools and the sea and got to see fish and a ray and to ride a camel. You developed so much in the time: your language improved and so did your social skills (you started saying "hi" and "bye", the former especially to children).

It's not the sort of holiday I'm used to (having spent years backpacking) but it was a great way to have some lovely time together. Your mum wants to go away again this month.

Happy New Year, my beautiful son.
