Wednesday 27th January 2010

We've been home from holiday for over a week now, and we've had an eventful time. Harriet is virtually potty trained, I'm still sleeping through until 7am (most nights!), and yesterday I starting eating meat. How exciting, a cube of chicken casserole mixed in with my vegetables. Down the hatch, no bother. I had 2 cubes today, and wolfed that down too. Mummy is going to cook me some fish meals tonight so she tells me, and some lentils too, so I'm looking forward to trying all of that. I've also had my first swimming lesson. What fun it was - I even swam under water! I'm going for my second lesson this afternoon, so I am really looking forward to that. I still haven't rolled yet. I met a new friend Katherine this week. She is 5 months old and she is rolling, so mummy says I'd better get a move on. I've told her I'll do it when I'm good and ready. I saw my boyfriend Bobby yesterday - he is now crawling, so he can crawl over and see me now - which is very cool. Granny Wendy and Grandpa came to visit too, which was lovely. Harriet and I are having our swine flu jabs tomorrow afternoon, so we aren't looking forward to that, but our cousins Georgie, Joseph and Daniel had theirs last week, and they were very brave, so I'm bracing myself. Harriet and I are used to needles from our stay in Special Care, especially Harriet, but it doesn't mean we like them! I am going to visit a new friend tomorrow - Pheobe. She was born whilst we were on holiday, so she is even smaller than me - not by much though! I am getting a lot heavier though. Mummy weighed me last week and I was 14lb 14oz, so I'll be well over 15lb by now.

Sunday 17th January 2010

I haven't updated my blog for such a long time, because we've been away on holiday. We went up to Durham for my 1st Cousin once removed's wedding. Her name is Naomi and she got married to Simon - Congratulations!! I was invited to the wedding along with Harriet, but mummy and daddy decided they would have a better time without us. Can you imagine? What a cheek! Anyway we went up to stay in a lovely holiday house http://www.millgranary.co.uk/ for the week, and granny Judy came with us. She looked after Harriet and me while mummy and daddy went to the wedding. I was a bit peturbed that mummy wasn't there to give me my milk, but I filled up on solids, and went to bed fine. Grandpa came to the wedding too, and he stayed with us as well for the weekend, and Aunty Cath stayed on Saturday night too. What fun to see so many people from my family. I also saw more family the day after the wedding, when we went to the golf club at Wynyard to say hello to the bride and groom, and see my Great Auntie Rosie and Great Uncle Ron plus cousin Hannah and her family. And then finally we saw Great Gran Foreman on Tuesday when she cam to have lunch with us for the day. I was exhausted by all the socialising I can tell you! Mummy thought I might finally roll over whilst we were on holiday, but I didn't I'm afraid, however I did drop my 10pm feed, and slept right through the night until mummy woke me up the next morning. That's right, I'm now officially a 12 hour a night baby with no breaks. Mummy and daddy are very proud of me. I think I'm sleeping well because I now have 3 meals a day. Yummy porridge in the morning, and veggies and fruit for my lunch and tea. I'll be starting to try protein meals soon, and I know mummy is going to be making some delicious recipes next week for me to try - chicken , lentils, beef, fish - yum, yum. Harriet has had a big week too. She spent a lot of time out of her nappy this week, and is now getting very good at using her potty. Yesterday she was in big girl pants all day with no accidents, so there were lots of stickers and cuddles all round. Next week I might be having a swine flu jab. Mummy and daddy need to decide whether Harriet and I should have it or not. I'm still very little, and only just 6 months old, so I think it might hurt a lot. I'm a bit unsure, so I'm going to get advice from my Aunties Emma and Shellie. Back to the normal routine this week now we're back from holiday and all the snow has finally gone. We had so much snow, we thought we might not make it to the wedding in Durham, and we really haven't been out much at all over the last few weeks, what with this snow, plus mummy's poorly foot, but it's Kindermusik tomorrow, and then you never know, we may finally get to do a swimming lesson on Wednesday, plus I've got a date with my boyfriend Bobby at the creche at Abingdon leisure centre on Friday - he's gonig to be 1 in a couple of weeks, so he is getting very grown up!
