A different bath!

A couple of weekends ago, Nanny and Grandad very kindly offered to have Harry, Sam and I to sleep for the night, to give Mummy and Daddy a lie in!

We went round for Sunday roast (which wasn't the most relaxing lunch we've ever had since Sam and I were quite whingey!). After we had a play, Mummy was going to help Nanny bath us before she went home. However, when Mummy turned the hot tap on in Nanny's bath, it wouldn't turn off (Nanny and Grandad don't use their bath very often since they have a shower). Turns out something worked lose and got stuck in the tap! So whilst everyone was trying to sort out the tap (and Grandad's plumber friend came round) Mummy gave me a bath in Nanny's kitchen sink. I have to say I quite enjoyed it and was fascinated by the taps!

Wearing the same clothes!

Mummy has found out some more of Sam's clothes (which used to be Harry's!) and put me in them! Can you guess who is who? (The photo's Mummy has of Harry wearing these clothes aren't digital, so she will have to scan them in so you can compare all three of us!).

I've got the pox!

Sam and I are getting ever closer, (in that he has finally started taking notice of me, and if he sees my dummy on the floor he will go to great effort to pop it back in my mouth, even if I don't want it!!) and we have now shared chicken pox! I got my first spots exactly two weeks after Sam got his! Monday afternoon I got about 4 spots and Mummy wasn't convinced it was chicken pox but by Tuesday morning she was sure! It is now Wednesday night and I have hundreds of spots - much more than Sam had! I have got them everywhere, lots in my hair, loads on my face and tummy and back. Unlike Sam I don't like having aqueous calamine put on, although Mummy let me have a lovely long bath tonight with lots of bircarbonate of soda in so she's hoping I feel a bit more comfy! I have got a high temperature though (was 39.5c at one point, but it's down to 38.9 now). I am suffering much more than Sam did, although Mummy is hoping this means I won't get it ever again!!!!

On a more positive note, Mummy noticed this morning that one of my top teeth (my right one) has now come through!!!

Eating!

I have now well and truely got the hang of eating! I have a 6oz bottle when I wake up and a bowl of baby cereal for breakfast. I usually snooze for half an hour or so during the school run. Then I have a 6oz bottle around 10.30am, sometimes I drink it sometimes I don't!

Mummy then tries to keep me awake till lunchtime, which is 12pm (this is because she likes Sam and I to both sleep at the same time!). For lunch I have a whole jar of babyfood (or half a jar of the next stage jars which Mummy is giving me now to get me used to lumps!). I have a yogurt for pudding and sometimes a crust of Sam's bread if he leaves any! By 12.30 Sam and I are both in bed, we usually sleep for at least an hour (and if Mummy is really lucky 2 hours!!!).

When we get back from school I have another 6oz bottle, sometimes I drink it, sometimes I don't! Tea is at 5pm and I have one of Mummy's cooked meals. My favourite so far is fish with vegetables and cheese sauce, although I usually eat anything! I have a jar of pudding and then mummy gives me something to chew on whilst everyone else has their tea. Rusks are my favourite!

We go upstairs at 6pm, sometimes have a bath and then it's another bottle at 6.30pm. (7oz of purple milk). I am usually in bed by 6.50pm and asleep by 7pm! I have been waking up at around 4.30am the last few mornings and have woken Sam up, but we usually go back to sleep eventually (and then Mummy has to wake me up to go to school!!!)

A bathed baby!

Mummy thinks I look gorgeous when I have just got out of the bath! (Can you notice I am starting to get a bit of a belly now - at long last, Mummy isn't used to petite babies!)

I can make mischief!

If you leave me on my own (for just a few minutes) I am extremely quick at touching things I shouldn't!

Nappy sacks are a particular favourite of mine. If Mummy is stupid enough to leave the packet out I can pull nearly all of them out in one go! (Mummy says it is nearly impossible to get the nappy sacks to fit back in the packet once they have been pulled out!!!). It must be the nice smell of them that I am attracted to!

I can sit up!

I am now proficient in the art of sitting up! Didn't take me that long (well, I was quicker than Sam was!). I am also pretty fearless at going from sitting to being on my belly. I don't fall backwards, I just tend to flop forwards slowly so I don't hurt myself!
