Benita and Eva

On the Friday afternoon, we dropped in to see Benita and Eva. Eva's start to life was a bit sudden, she was due around the same time as Naina, but decided that she'd arrive a month early. Being a bit premature, she had to stay in hospital a few weeks, but eventually came home.

The first few photos we had seen of Eva were of a tiny baby. How six months can change a life! Andrew and Benita are definitely doing good stuff, because Eva looks like a doll!

So, yeah, meeting Eva for the first time was a highlight of the trip for both of us. Picking up Eva also made me appreciate the difference between babies. Eva was happy sitting on my knee, smiling at her mum and us and generally being a great little kid.

Eva's got a pouch as well, which helps her rock to sleep. Interestingly Eva's pouch can be worn on mum's front or back (though maneuvering it to the back side is a bit of a logistical exercise). We'll be looking into one for Naina when we go off to India. Will make pushing luggage around an airport a lot easier.
