Mummy's birthday!

On Thursday, my Mummy was 34 years old! I helped Daddy sign her card and I got her some Champagne truffles from Thorntons. In the evening Mummy and Daddy went out for a meal whilst Nanny Peggy looked after us. Before she went, Mummy had her photograph taken with me!

There were 3 in the bed....

Mummy and Daddy are always trying to get a nice photograph of me, Harry and Sam, which is not very easy since we don't always look at the camera at the same time. Here's one they tried earlier!....

Little Lady!

I am Mummy's "Little Lady!"

Keeping warm!

Every morning we have to take Harry to school. Now that the weather has turned chilly, Mummy has decided that my coat is just not warm enough some mornings. Hence she puts me in my snow suit (which she got from Freecycyle!). I feel snug as a bug in a rug when I am in it, although I am not very keen in actually getting into it (lots of pulling and pushing!)

My friend Sheep!

When I was born I got lots of presents. Harry's friend Robert Rush got me this lovely black and white sheep. Daddy placed it strategically in my moses basket so that I can see it. Now, when I am in my moses basket before I go to sleep, I spend a lot of time looking at and talking to my sheep (I think it is because of the contrasting colours!). Now, I am even beginning to grab it and have pulled it in with me more than once!

Smiles!

I have now well and truely got the hang of smiling and will do so whenever someone talks to me. However, getting a photograph of me smiling is a different story! Mummy has managed to catch me a couple of times recently but I am usually more interested in just staring the camera!

My Nanny!

We went to Nanny and Grandad's house for lunch on Sunday! I was a very good girl and slept lots. I played with my babygym whilst everyone ate their roast and then after lunch I got lots of cuddles! My Nanny held me for ages and we had a nice cooing conversation!

Nasty Jabs again!

I had to have some more injections yesterday. The nurse made me scream just like last time but I soon calmed down and was back to sleep before we left the surgery! Once again I didn't need any calpol, as all I did was sleep! (During the day that is - had quite a restless night though!)

Weight Check: Week 11

We went to Baby Clinic again yesterday. I now weigh a whopping 11lb 10oz (5.22kg) which takes me above the 25th centile.

Aren't I doing well!

It must be the six 5oz bottles I am drinking every day!

Being an Auntie!

Being an Auntie can be hard work - even though Charlie and Abbie usually look after me rather than the other way around!

Sleeping!

Mummy has got me into a really good bedtime routine now. After tea (everyone else's - not mine!) we all go upstairs for a bath. I love having a bath and never ever cry when I am in it (even when I was tiny). Sam has his bottle and a story, then I have my bottle whilst Harry reads his school book to me. I then go to bed and am usually asleep by 7pm.

However when Mummy asks Daddy to help, the routine usually goes out of the window!

My brother's Harry and Sam!

My big brother Harry loves me millions, and spends a lot of time kissing me every day! He also asks to hold me lots as well.

Sam on the other hand likes to prod and poke me and he has also started to steal my dummy - even though my dummys are pink and Sam's are blue!

All in all I am very lucky to have 2 great brothers who I live with. I am quite happy sitting in my bouncy chair watching them play (or fight!) and mummy can then get on with all her jobs!

Sleeping bag!

It has started to get really cold at night and since I am quite a restless baby I am always kicking my blankets off (especially when I get cross when I want to be fed!). So Mummy has found out Harry and Sam's first sleeping bag and tonight I will sleep in it for the first time. At least I will be nice and warm all night (unlike Mummy who will get cold coming downstairs to get my bottle and then feed me!)

A brother and a nephew!

At the weekend, my biggest brother Michael came round with my nephew Alfie. Alfie is one at the weekend (when I will be almost 11 weeks old!). It is weird that Alfie and I will be in the same school year even though he seems so much older!

My baby Gym

Now that I am getting older, I am getting much more aware of my surroundings. Mummy tried putting me under a babygym the other day (it used to be both Harry and Sam's gym first!).

I loved it and spent ages waving my arms about and sometimes hitting the dangly things! I even cooed and chatted to the animals as well!

Feeding the ducks!

Whilst Daddy was working last weekend, we went for a walk into Hawley Woods to feed the ducks. Harry liked throwing the bread in whereas Sam liked eating it. As for me, I obviously liked the fresh air and spent the whole walk asleep!
