Summertime special.

We think she has a full little life. Just take a look at all this. Back at the end of term, Lily got a very good school report. We told her she could go to the toy shop as a reward. But instead, she chose to go to the bookshop. No wonder she's doing well in class.

A big cuddle with a big cat.

Followed by a little cuddle with a little kitten.

This is Russell and Lily was very excited to meet him.

Lily helped to build 'Russelltopia', his cat activity centre.

Granddad James and Nanny Maureen took Lily to see the circus.

Roll up, roll up...

Lily got to meet the ringmasters.

Next day, she was slip slidin' away.

Then she chose this top in a Primark shopping spree.

She wore it to hang out with Jemima.

Mummy came to pick Lily up.

And everyone (except Daddy) got to enjoy a barbecue in the sunshine.

It was so hot, Lily needed a quick cooldown in the pool.

These little videos are 'Boomerangs' - you'll see why if you hit play.

There was time for one last snuggle with Russell...

...then it was the long drive back to Essexzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Another day, another visit to the shops.

Then a couple of frames of bowling.

Strike!

How cool is this cafe?

This is what Lily bought in the shop - a build-it-yourself crazy straw.

Daddy was still locked away at work so Mummy and Lily sent him their love.

You can see how he got so big.

Lily likes the local library. This year, she's enjoying the Big Friendly Read.

Coo-ee, up here!

As a very special treat, Mummy brought Lily breakfast in bed.

Then she was off to a sleepover at Holly's.

She got to make new friends.

And spent the afternoon in the biggest paddling pool I've ever seen.

Plus she was invited to another night out at the circus.

On Wednesday, Lily played hide and seek with Lydia. Lily is actually in this picture, can you spot her?

How about now?

This weekend, Daddy's old band had a reunion. And these days, there's a whole new generation of musicians.

Lily and Felix rock out.

Even the Mummies got in on the act.

Another sunny spell, another excuse to hit the pool.

The water was not quite what she'd become used to in Barbados...

Here's another Boomerang clip.

Now a quick game of spot the difference:

Monday brought a trip into London.

Lily was off to the Tate again.

There was a time she looked a lot smaller in this hall.

She explored the collection.

And was very taken with Mondrian.

So when she got the chance to create some interactive art...

...Lily made her own version.

This work features images created using light.

So Mummy and Lily became the last shadow puppets.

This was a tree-mendous piece (sorry).

This one... not so much.

Out on the South Bank, the bubbles were flying.

And Daddy managed to duck out of the office so we could all have dinner together. What a couple of weeks!
