Zahra is getting big

Guess what? Zahra is big enough to sit in a high chair now! She sits with us at the table sometimes, at least when she is awake. The only problem is, she REALLY wants to eat food like us too. Not long to wait now though. She is 5 months old and she can start when she is 6 months.

The flowers in Switzerland are really pretty at the moment.

I saw these ones and said "Mama, I can't stop looking at these flowers! I think I won't be able to go home because I want to look at them all day!"

My cousin Thomas came to stay!

We had the best time just after Easter. My cousin Thomas and my Zia came to stay for 2 whole weeks. It was soooooooooooooo much fun having them around and I was very, very sad to see them go. I still get upset if I hear songs that remind me of them. Here is a photo of us 3 red-headed cousins together.

Thomas was very, very sweet with Zahra. He was so gentle with her and gave her lots of kisses. Zahra wasn't so sure about him at first. This is the first time they met!

Zahra loved her Zia though.

Thomas was the best fun to play with. We had lots of fun in my playroom and also when we went out. He has the best laugh and likes doing funny things with me.

Here is a nice photo of Zahra from when we all went to the Sports Club.

And one of me with Dada and Zahra on the swing.

Zahra got her passport

Well, it was a long time ago now, but Zahra got her passport! We had to go to Geneva to give the papers to the Australian Consulate and then later they sent us a passport for Zahra, with her picture in it and everything. We went to Geneva on the train. It was Zahra's longest ever train trip, but we stayed in the same country! Funny, hey?

Of course going to Geneva was a good chance to catch up with our friends there. Here are Alison, Maitreyee and Kanti with Dada and Zahra. They all seemed to like looking at Zahra. I was too busy playing in the playground with my friend Sohini to be in the photo.
