The gorgeous eight-month-old appeared very taken with one particular toy, holding it in the air and giggling as he played on the floor of the stately home
The gorgeous eight-month-old appeared very taken with one particular toy, holding it in the air and giggling as he played on the floor of the stately home

Sitting cross legged on the floor, the young prince was animated as he called out to his mother
Prince George hugged tightly to his mother's arms as William, who had been swapping stories with the other parents, looked on
The young royal was presented with a giant and very fluffy blue bear by an an organiser at the Plunket eventGeorge looked a little wary of the large stuffed toy and didn't seem to keen to get any closerGeorge seemed to be enjoying his playdate and an endless selection of toys
George was happy to keep himself occupied at the visit to Plunket
Kate mingled with the other first-time parents, holding her son, who was dressed in a pair of navy blue dungarees, in her arms
The toy shall be mine! Prince George likes the look of a small doll that one of the other children was playing with and makes a grab for it
The Duchess of Cambridge spoke to a number of parents as the young prince scratched his ears
Quite enthralled with his new toy, George looked up and gurgled in the direction of his mother
He then made his way over to some of the other brightly coloured toys scattered across the floor of the stately home
Kate could barely keep her eyes off her darling George
Plunket, the organisation behind the playdate wrote a special note to Prince George expressing their excitement about meeting him
George seemed firmly attached to his mother
Prince William spent most of his time sharing his and Kate's parenting experience with the other parents
A few of the other first-time parents gathered around Kate as she lifted her son to his feet. The playgroup is made up of ten families whose children were born within two weeks of George's July 22 birthday
Both Kate and George seemed in high spirits
A toy held by another child catches the prince's eye as the Duchess makes faces to draw his attention
The young royal appeared more interested with his mother's hair than the other children and was seen gently pulling her brunette tresses away from the Duchess' face
The young prince seemed completely besotted with his beautiful mother as he gazed into her eyes
The adorable eight-month-old appeared relaxed as Kate proudly introduced him to the other first time parents
The Duchess bent down to pick up a toy
The Duchess began chatting to the parents of a blonde-haired totGeorge appeared to do something to upset her
Kate attempted to comfort the shrieking child but to no avail
Both the Duchess and her son were seen making new friends
Prince George began his tour of Australia and New Zealand with his parents the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on Monday
