I have been having a fun time seeing family this weekend. Here is a pic of me with Harriet and my cousin Issy. We are the 3 muskateers. I am the leader - even though Harriet doesn't know it yet - I let her think that she rules the roost, but really I'm the one calling the shots. That's why I let her draw all over my face with a biro on Thursday, just before Granny Judy arrived - it was to make sure I got maximum attention! Mummy only left us alone in the kitchen for a couple of minutes, but Harriet managed to decorate my face nicely in that time. I look like I've grown a beard! Harriet went to stay with Granny Judy for the weekend, so I got mummy and daddy all to myself for a few days. Mummy went off to lunch with her friend Helen on Saturday, so daddy and I spent the day together. Daddy took me to my swimming lessonk, which I wasn't keen on. I got cold and had to leave my lesson half way through. But the rest of the day was lovely and we enjoyed 'bonding'. We went up to Birmingham to see Auntie Shellie and Uncle Chris on Sunday and cousin Issy. It was great fun to play at their house, and Granny Judy brought Harriet over after lunch, so we had a girls afternoon, while our daddies watched the football. It was Aston Villa against Manchester United. Daddy supports Villa and uncle Chris supports United, so daddy wasn't very pleased with the result. Oh well, hopefully they'll do better in the FA cup against our local team Reading at the weekend. I saw Granny Wendy and Grandpa today and after some initial tears and lip wobbles, I had a lovely time with them and some lovely cuddles too. I just get a little bit nervous of people sometimes, so it's nothing personal. As long as mummy and daddy are close by then I'm okay. Auntie Shellie measured my vital statistics on Sunday, as she is a health visitor. My weight is now 16lb 5oz, my length is 67cm and my head circumference is 43.5cm. This means I am all in proportion, and between 25th and 50th centile for everything. Hooray!
