Not seen this in the UK, but in the US babies are encouraged to throw their arms up to the question “How big is [insert name here]?” and show how big they are!

We didn’t know that Maggie’s Auntie Colleen was teaching her this new trick, so imagine our surprise when she suddenly started doing it.

Love our Magpie. She’s eating freshly BBQ’s salmon by the way as we figure that’s one step towards that college scholarship!

And so it begins. The long and winding road to the 2032 Olympics!!!

“But where’s my UK passport daddy?”

We’re off to London to see The Queen in a couple of weeks (oh and to see some family and friends too!)
