I've had a bonus extra day at home with my sister today, as she's a little bit poorly with a tummy bug. This meant no Buggyfit for mummy and me, however, so we'll have to make sure we get out and about next week a bit more to make up for being couch potatoes today. We had great fun watching Mary Poppins together, and dancing round the coffee table to all the songs. I do a lot of dancing at my Monday music group, so I showed Harriet some moves.I have been trying to practice my rolling this week, but I still haven't managed to roll onto my front. This is probably becuase I am putting on weight at a rate of knots! I am now 15lb 15oz as of Monday, so I am now between the 25th and 50th centile on the chart - that's the highest I've ever been - it must be all the yummy food I'm eating. I've had chicken, fish, lentils and beef so far, and I know mummy has cooked me some yummy organic lamb too - I like to try anything that's going, and I even grabbed daddy's egg sandwich and sucked on it at the book launch we went to on Sunday. Harriet's godmother's sister has written a fab book called Ruby's Spoon. I've got a signed copy all to myself to read when I'm a lot older, which is very exciting. At my swimming lesson this week I swam under water all by myself without mummy holding me. Mummy had to put me under the water and then let go before she caught hold of me again. I was very brave and didn't cry one bit. It was granny Wendy's birthday on Monday, so we're all going up to see her on Saturday as long as I don't catch Harriet's bug - fingers' crossed! I'd also like to introduce my pink mouse - he's my favourite thing, and was bought for me by Sam, who is Harriet's friend's Gene's mum. I love to fight with him and eat his nose to help me go to sleep, and I like to sleep best with him draped over my face!
