These first two photos were snapped by Kate in their garden at Kensington Palace, and the third was taken while they were on vacation. (I'm not sure when; they've been on vacation this past week, and I love the idea that she took this, like, yesterday and then decided in last-minute tizzy that she ALSO wanted to release it, and was frantically emailing people from her lounge chair with a mai tai in her other hand.) Also: SOMEONE LOST A TOOTH.

These are VERY casual and un-posed feeling and they're extremely cute.

"MOTHER, I'M TERRIBLY SORRY BUT I JUST WOKE UP FROM AN EXTREMELY SATISFYING NAP AND I AM ON MY WAY TO HAVE A POPSICLE SO IF YOU COULD PLEASE FINISH TAKING THIS PHOTO, I'D BE SO VERY PLEASED. I MUST GO EAT MY POPSICLE. IT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR ME TO HAVE MY BIRTHDAY POPSICLE AND I'M TRULY DEEPLY CONCERNED THAT CHARLOTTE MIGHT EAT IT. I'M GOING TO SMILE VERY SWEETLY AT YOU AND THEN I MUST TAKE MY LEAVE. I KNOW YOU UNDERSTAND. BECAUSE OF THIS PRESSING POPSICLE ISSUE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'LL SPEAK TO YOU LATER ABOUT FURTHER BIRTHDAY MATTERS!"
