What a busy time I've had since I last updated my blog. I've been so busy that I've just had to sleep more at night to restore my energy. Over the last week
I've almost slept through the night 5 out of 7 nights! Can you believe it? I've been lasting for between 6 to 7 hours, so that means I can last from about 11pm to about 6am without waking up for more milk. Mummy is very pleased indeed, although she was a bit peturbed the first time I did it, and kept coming in to check on me. Over the weekend I woke up at 3.30am again though, which mummy said was a real shock to the system after 3 nights of 6am, so for the last 2 nights I've made it through to about 5.45am, so not too bad. Ideally I've got to make it through to 6.45am so I'm told, so I'll keep trying. I think that reaching the magical 9lb mark has done the trick. Mummy took me to get weighed today and I'm 9lb 3oz. That means I've put on another 9oz this week, an
d that's including dropping my night feed most nights. I'm becoming a right chubby chops, and I'll be moving up a wardrobe size over the next couple of days to 0-3 month clothes. I also think that stopping bottle feeding has helped. I'm not very good at bottle feeding, and I was having a bottle at my 10.30pm feed, but I wasn't taking enough milk and it was making my reflux worse, so I'm back to breastfeeding now for that feed, and it's working a lot better. Well, what have I been up to over the past few days? Harriet and I went to paint ceram
ics on Friday at The Funky Teapot, which is a shop in Wantage. Harriet was making birthday presents, and I was trying to help by sleeping soundly in my buggy! On Saturday we went to the Didcot Railway Centre to have a picnic and to see the trains, which was great fun - we're going again next Friday to
see Thomas the Tank Engine. On Sunday Harriet went swimming with daddy in her brand new swimming costume, and then we all went for a lovely walk up on White Horse Hill. Yesterday I went with Harriet to Tumble Tots and to Toddler Tennis - I can't wait until I'm big enough to do all these fun things. I'm still trying to smile. I'm making lots of happy faces and smiling with my eyes, but I'm not really using my mouth much for smiling yet - I'm 11 weeks old today, so I'd better get a move on. I nearly smiled at my next door neighbour Pam today. I went round to visit her and her husband Keith and had a lovely cuddle with her.

Great stuff on the sleeping and the weight gain, Bea. Mummy and daddy will be very pleased with you!
