Valentines Day - Pizza, Bubbly and baby!

My first Valentines Day!

Here I am napping with the comforting sound of the washing machine in the background! Thank you Nonna for my cool babygro! Super cosy!

Mummy and Daddy enjoyed Valentine's day with me. When Daddy got home he had a kiss for me and a lovely orchid plant for mummy.

Meanwhile mummy and I had been busy making a cake for daddy! It smelled nice but my gums don't let me munch cake just yet.

Weigh ins and weekends

I've been really busy this week so haven't had time to get my thoughts down.

Mummy took me to the baby weigh in on Wednesday where I found I'm now 9ib 8oz. I was fast asleep when I got there so didn't like being stripped naked much. Saying that, the little girl next to me seemed to like it even less!

I went to Grandma and Grandad's for the weekend while Daddy visited Nonno and Nonna in Italy as he was working there on the Monday. We played lots of games although Grandma got me so wired and excited on the Friday that it took me an hour and a half in a darkened room to calm down! Here I am looking cool in the dungarees Carys and Steve bought me (thanks guys):

 

On the Sunday I met Chloe, Hayley and Chloe's mum. We had some drinks and cuddles and then had some Sunday lunch.

 On Monday we headed home and in the evening Daddy was back so I begrudgingly let him kiss me hello although I was too sleepy to really enjoy it!

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.
