Around the World in 38 Days


The Ambrose clan have arrived back in Shanghai after our first world tour. Abigail has been a great traveller, at least until the last flight. She slept from Shanghai to Chicago, Chicago to Orlando, and Orlando to London. Unfortunately, she failed to sleep a single wink from London to Shanghai!

Luckily, it was also the only flight that both of us were on together, so at least we took turns playing and rocking. Jason is now looking forward to meeting "the little girl who is the perfect traveller" that he's heard about for weeks.

There are loads of pictures that we will eventually get together and online for you all, but suffice it to say that Abigail is a completely different baby than the one that left Shanghai in March. She has found her hands and actually has 'favourite' toys. She has learned that she loves to swim (although like her mother, the water has to feel like bathwater), has been to the beach, and has enjoyed a lot of long morning walks with her mom and grammy.


After swimming and basking in the Florida sunshine, Abigail spent Easter in Florida then headed to the next destination on her whistle-stop tour...London.

In London, she met her half-sister Sophia and got to meet lots of Mommy and Daddy's friends. She even enjoyed an afternoon at the 'pub' for Sunday lunch. How very cosmopolitan of her!!

And Abigail with Sam. Who would have thought he'd be such a natural with babies? Personally, I never thought I'd let him near my daughter....
