Appointments

Weightwatchers day and it didn't go well for mummy. Best to play it quiet on that one I find! After our group therapy, I went for my first Chiropractic appointment with mummy's friend Hester and got adjusted. My spine was pretty good because I was born naturally,  but Hester very gently adjusted me as she noticed what mummy already had - that I tended to favour looking towards my right hand side. We're going to keep an eye on it and see if it improves now I've been made more flexible!

Tonight is fajita night for mummy and daddy so I might have a nap now to make sure I can be awake for that - wouldn't want mummy to miss me at dinner as I know she loves eating one-handed! ;-)

My sixth week

As always, I've been busy this week. Yesterday I went to my first mother and baby meeting and made a few new friends. I wasn't the most companionable one there though as when mum tried to give me some 'tummy time' to strengthen my neck muscles, I just fell asleep on the play mat!

While we were there, I made a little present for daddy (see below). He really liked it but couldn't believe how big my foot was.

After the baby group mummy took me shopping. By the time we got half way round I was starving so I thought I'd let her know that by screaming pretty loudly (especially when people walked past the trolley). I cried my first real tears today because by the time we got home for my feed I was famished. That serves mum right, she won't make that mistake twice!

Mummy and daddy received some really nice flowers from P&G to say 'happy new baby'. I would have preferred something for me but there you go...

Easy like Sunday morning

Today I got up bright and early as usual but instead of having to put up with boring old mummy, I was also joined by Grandma and Colette! We all had breakfast together before mummy and grandma started to show an unhealthy interest in my nappy.






Later, Ellie, Ebbie and Luke came down to see me, and mummy and daddy took us all to the park for a  play in the snow. As you can see it was very chilly but I wrapped up warm and had a nap in my pram.

Sadly we then had to go home but what a fun week we've had! Next stop Italy with my new passport to meet my other Nonno, Nonna and cousins at Easter!

Staying at Grandma and Grandad's

This week I went to stay at my Grandma and Grandad's for a few days. We've been really busy as Auntie Sue and Uncle Jamie were going to Madeira on holiday with Uncle Jamie's work. On Wednesday, Ellie, Ebbie and Luke my cousins came round to Grandma and Grandad's where we played lots of games.

On Thursday, we went to Ikea where I had a sleep while mummy walked me round and the grown ups ate a very nice cooked breakfast for a £1! Then we went to me cousins' house and created some chaos there as well. I was wide awake and joining in. While the girls went to Girl Guides, my mate Luke and I had a bath together. Luke got all my stuff ready and even sang me humpty dumpty. He also held my arms down while mummy changed me nappy which I wasn't so keen on!!

On Friday I had a super sleepy day and spent the whole day in and out of naps!! Grandma and Auntie Colette went to a Kina Grannis gig so Grandpa, Mummy and I had a nap and played. That night was also the first time I managed to touch mummy's face ad control my hand to wake her up. Mummy was very surprised and proud and she gave me a feed as a reward.

Today is Saturday and we've had another fun one. In the morning I practiced me charming smile on Grandma who seems to appreciate it, more so than mummy who I woke up at 5.15am and didn't seem as much fun at that time. I went to Sainsbury with mummy, Grandma and Colette. Grandma bought me a new babygrow which I will model in future blogs. Auntie Colette has been getting me excited with funny faces and I have been saying 'goo goo' to lots of people and they're so impressed! Sometimes concentrating on talking gets me a bit stressed out so mummy takes me for breathers away from the Sewell hot house!

Daddy came this afternoon and played piano to me. I watched his hands and tried to learn but until I have got control of my hands I'll have to be content to watch and listen.

My One Month Birthday!!!

Hello! One month since being born and I'm longer and stronger than ever.

To celebrate, me, mummy and daddy headed out to see the veggie man in the morning in my pram, then later we all went for a walk on Tynemouth beach - my first trip to the seaside!
As you can see, it was sunny but still cold enough to need my snow suit, gloves and hat. Next to daddy I stayed warm though.

Interesting surf dudes

While we were walking we saw some interesting people. Like the surfers who were using oars to cut through the waves and the anglers who seemed to be trying to fish out of rock pools (just kidding!).

The crazy anglers

After that we stopped in Crusoes cafe for a cup of coffee. This was my moment to wake up from my deep slumber on the beach and have a truly explosive celebratory poo which mummy only discovered on her top, hand and new jeans. I cried because there was a lot of clean up operation. 

This cut our coffee time a bit short but we all laughed about my faux pas later! So off we walked home along the beach and saw a really good friend of Colette's - a pug dog!!







All this fun made us exhausted (and fairly dirty) so I headed home for a relaxing bath - my second of the day but just as enjoyable. And so to bed....

That Friday Feeling

Today I got up fairly early to see daddy off to work.

Then mum and I did the usual stuff - games like 'ma ma ma' and 'da da da' (whatever they mean) plus some blowing kisses game that she enjoys a lot more than I do! We also played the 'smell that spice' game. some of the spices I like (thankfully I like the Oregano) others I'm not so keen on (especially lemon). Here's some photos of our fun.

 I also did another of my male model poses (driven by my fascination with those net curtains)

In the afternoon, we went to the breast feeding class which is really an excuse for mummy to have a gossip. I met a new friend there called Emma who is 18 months old and seemed to really like me as she tried to burp me and fed me a plastic spoon.

When Daddy got home we chilled out all three of us together on the sofa.
