The second round of pics from Phuket...

So we are back from Thailand - boo! We all had a lovely time - Holly is a pretty good little traveller, so will have to take her again next year! While we were away, she cut through 5 (!!!!) teeth and got pretty good at walking. She now has 12 teeth and is using walking more and more as her main mode of transport.
If anyone else is interested, we will be going back to Phuket this time next year, staying at the same place (Centara Kata Beach Resort) if you would like to join us. It comes highly recommended by the Wilson Family :)
Our last night - I had just finished off a bottle of Southern Comfort....
And Mark was cleaning out the mini-bar....
This weird thing was in our room on the last night.... I made Mark get rid of it incase one of us woke up during the night with it crawling over our face.... ergh!
Holly with her friend Pla - this guy came and fed Holly breakfast most mornings and would repeatedly sniff her head. She seemed to like him :)
Holly enjoying herself immensely (not!!) with some friends she made, Daniella and Zaneeta. These little girls are from Newcastle and made a bee-line to Holly every time they saw her by the pool. Normally Holly had a great time with them :)
View across the pool
Holly on the dolphin (again)
Enjoying an icy cold can of 7-up
Ahhhhhh
Family snap - our little apartment is just behind us. We scored the prime position between our apartment and the pool every day :)

Holly in the "bath"! She doesn't like having a shower and the (bigger) kitchen sink didn't have a plug. She seems to be enjoying herself in the tiny bathroom sink though :)
Funny girl :)
Cruising around the pool on her dolphin
She loved riding on the dolphin, but usually kept the most serious face on whilst you pushed her around the pool!
On one of the rare occasions where I didn't dunk Holly in the pool - very hard keeping her on the dolphin, it was pretty slippery...
