A new month and a new weight. I'm now a whopping 12lb 11oz, and tracking nicely between the 9th and 25th centile on the growth chart. My weight gain is slowing down a bit now, which it's supposed to apparently. Mummy says once we start on solid food I'll start piling on the pounds. That's not far off, we're going to start trying some real food next week when I'll be 5 months old. How exciting - I'll get to try all sorts of different fruit and vegetables, which is all pureed up and waiting in the freezer for me! Granny and Grandpa came to visit on Tuesday to see me and Harriet. We all had a lovely time together with our friends Isobel and Bobby too. I was supposed to have my first swimming lesson today, but the pool was too cold, so the lesson had to be cancelled. Oh well, I'll just have to wait until next week. Mummy and I are starting Buggyfit tomorrow, so I am really looking forward to that, and we did our lovely 'Kindermusik' group on Monday where we did lots of singing and dancing together - I really love it. I am off to see 2 friends on Friday Sebastian and Emilia. Sebastian was born 2 days before me and was with me in Special Care, as he was very little, only 2lb 12oz, and Emilia was born 2 days after me. She was 5lb, so a bit bigger. We are all going to meet up for lunch on Friday, so that will be great fun. I'm getting very good at grabbing things. I grabbed my monkey on my playmat last week and since then I've been really rtrying to grab everything, especially mummy's hair - I think she likes it when I grab her hair, as she makes a very funny face!
