I haven't updated my blog for a very long time. That's because I've been holidaying in Norfolk with my family. I've a
lso been poorly, I've cut my first 2 teeth, and I've also started nursery! Can you believe it? It's a miracle I can keep my eyes open! I would have enjoyed my holiday more if I hadn't been so ill for most of it. My first 2 teeth came through, so I was in a lot of pain because of that, and I also had a very nasty lurgie, which meant a visit to the doctor whilst we were away to get me some antibiotics. They made me feel a lot better, so I ejoyed the second half of our week away. My first tooth appeared on the day we arrived in Norfolk. It was my bottom front tooth on the right hand side, and then on Wednesday night I was not a happy girl and c
ried a lot, and by Thursday morning another tooth had appeared, this time on the bottom on the left. Mummy and daddy think that I've got more coming through as my cheeks have been very firey and tonight I didn't want to go to sleep until 9.30pm as my teeth were keeping me awake. I got to show Grandpa my new teeth, as he came on a surpise visit to see us for a couple of days whilst we were on holiday. We went to the Sealife Centre in Great Yarmouth, and saw sharks, turtles and penguins amongst other things. I was still feeling under the weather
though, so I didn't enjoy it as much as Harriet did. Harriet went swimming every day on holiday. I went a couple of times when I was feeling better, and impressed Grandpa with my under water swimming exploits. Harriet also did a lot of bike riding and even went for a ride in a trap with a little pony pulling her along. I didn't get to go for the ride, but I posed for a photo with Harriet and mummy afterwards! Last week daddy was off work for the week, so I got to spend some nice quality time with him. I also had my first full day at nursery in preparation for going there full time in June. I did very well, and hardly cried at all. Mummy and daddy were very
proud of me. I was there again today, and had a lovely day playing outside in the sandpit, as the weather was so nice. I'll be back at nursery next Thursday. Last weekend was Easter, so we had a nice family get together and did a big Easter Egg hunt. It was great fun. I didn't get to eat any chocolate, but Harriet tells me it's yummy and
definitely worth waiting for. I got some lovely Easter presents though to add to my toy collection, and I'm sure the Easter Bunny will bring me some chocolate next year.
What fun Harriet and I have playing together. We went to the playground with mummy on Tuesday, and had lots of laughs swinging on the swings together. I'm not very good at staying upright, and I can't swing as high as Harriet, but I still enjoyed myself. I can't wait until I'm big enough to swing high and go down the slide. Since I last updated my blog I've had 2 more
days at nursery. I really have fun there, but rather than tiring me out as mummy and daddy hoped, it actually revs me up and makes me really hyper, so I haven't been wanting to go to bed until after 9pm on my nursery days! Whoops - I don't think mummy and daddy are going to be too pleased if I carry on like that when mummy is back at work. I went up to the JR on Tuesday with mummy to get my hearing checked. This is because I was very jaundiced whe I was in Special Care, and that can have an effect on your inner ear, so I needed to be checked out. The good news is my inner ear is fine, but my outer ear was not 100
%. I couldn't hear the quieter sounds. The audiologist thought it was because my ears were both full of gunge from having persistent colds for the last couple of months, so I am to go back in 4 months time to see her again and to see if the gunge has gone, and my hearing is back to normal. If not then I might have to have gromets in my ears to help me out - yuck! In the meantime, mummy and daddy have to make sure they give me 1-2-1 time to talk to me when there is no background noise to make sure my speech development comes on as it should, and isn't effected by my gunky ears. I think my speech is coming along just fine - I am very noisy and love chatting and talking to everybody. Once I have a few more teeth I'll really be able to say a few more things, and eat a few more things too, although I am getting very good with my finger food already - I can't believe I'll be 10 months old soon - doesn't time fly?
