Rolling over!

Since I am such a wriggler, I very rarely stay still for long. Mummy has been putting me on my tummy quite a lot, and the other day I got so cross I arched my head right back and rolled over onto my back! Mummy thought this may have been a bit of a fluke, but twice today I have rolled over! Not bad for 17 weeks and 2 days old! (Mummy said Sam was at least 8 months before he did it and I am not even 4 yet!). Just need to learn to go from my back to my front now!

My Bumbo seat!

Now that I am holding my head up really well, Mummy thought I needed a change from sitting in the bouncy chair all the time. So she found out my pink bumbo chair. I really like it, although Mummy has to time it right when she puts me in it (not too soon after a feed or else I am sick!).

I am now on 6 6oz bottles a day (I don't always finish all of them, but most of them!). Mummy is hoping that pretty soon I will drop my night feed!

Balloons!

Mummy bought us all some helium balloons home from work the other day. Harry and Sam quite liked them but got bored of them quite quickly! However I took a fancy to them! Mummy put the strings under me and I discovered that if I move about the balloons moved as well! They kept me entertained for ages!

It's tiring being a baby!

Sometimes Mummy puts me in the travel cot to play as this keeps me away from Sam (he has a tendancy to grab and poke me and steal my dummy!). I've got a cute mobile that I like to chat to whilst I am in there and I am usually happy for at least 10-15 minutes.

When Mummy put me in there the other day, she wondered why it had gone quiet and discovered that I had fallen asleep! I guess my mobile wasn't quite as interesting as it usually is!

Having a bath

Since I have been quite poorly with my cough (which despite several doctor's visits hasn't gone onto my chest!) Mummy has been trying to find ways to make me comfortable. One way was having a bath, as the steam helped ease my chest. I still love my baths and don't look very ill in these photos!

Fireworks Night

Yesterday was my first ever fireworks night. The weather wasn't very nice though so we didn't actually get to see any fireworks (there was hardly any going off where we live). Daddy bought some sparklers though so we had some fun out the front with them!

Weight check: Week 15

Since me and Sam have been poorly, and we've had half term, Mummy hasn't taken me to the clinic for a while, however we went yesterday whilst Nanny stayed with Sam.


I weighed 12lb 8oz (5.68kg) which is just below the 25th percentile. Mummy was quite happy with this as I have been quite poorly with Sam's cough and had only been drinking 2-3oz at each feed. Today, however I have drunk every bottle so I must be on the mend! Let's hope I don't cough as much tonight and let Mummy and Daddy get some sleep!

My big cot

Now that I am getting bigger, Mummy wants to start getting me used to a big cot. I have still got plenty of room left in my crib, but I have started gripping onto the bars and Mummy is worried I will get my arm stuck soon! Daddy assembled the cot (Harry's old one from Nanny and Grandad's house) into Harry's room, so now I have two beds! It also means I get to look at my lovely new mobile Mummy got me (we can't put one in Sam's cot because he would rip it down!). Mummy set up the monitor and put me in my cot for a nap for the first time on tuesday. I have to say I was a very good girl and had fallen asleep by the time the music on my mobile had finished. I had kicked my blanket off though, as usual!

Halloween!

I celebrated my first ever Halloween last week. This involved lots of dressing up and noise (made mainly by my brothers!).
We had fun time with Charlie and Abbie and I got to wear the same top that Sam wore last year. Can you guess who's who?
