Needles, parties and massage!

What a long couple of weeks it has been for me. I don't know where to start.

Actually yes I do, because this has been niggling at me for the past couple of weeks! Mummy took me to the nice doctor place a couple of weeks ago which made me really happy as I always get such good cuddles there. I saw Rachel and Anna, and Julie was there too, but no Uncle Tim which did upset me a little bit but I did get some booby to cheer me up so it wasn't too much of a problem. Then some other lady took us into a little room, sat me on Mummy, and then did something terrible to me! She put something stingy in one of my legs, which made me whimper a bit, then as if that wasn't bad enough, she did it again to the other leg!!! OUCH!!!! Well that really got me cross so I cried really hard and let Mummy see I wasn't amused one bit! I did get lots of cuddles to make me feel better, and made the mistake of falling asleep, but as soon as I woke up I cried again just to let Mummy know I was still cross with her. She did make me a bed on the sofa with my quilt that she made me when we got home, so it wasn't quite so bad.



That night Nanny Noo and Grandad came and stayed for a couple of days. We played fun games like beating up Grandad and peekaboo, and I got to stay up late with Nanny Noo while Mummy got some sleep. We all went for long walks, although I was in my buggy, and had lots of fun. Daddy was at work so he wasn't there much which made me quite sad, but I was ok playing my games.

Since then I have been working really hard on my smiles. What do you think?





Last weekend I went swimming for the first time! It was lots of fun, whooshing through the water from Mummy to Daddy and back again. I did get a bit cold but since then I have been bought a wetsuit to keep me roasty toasty as Mummy calls it. I will be having swimming lessons very soon, but until then I am just going to swim with Mummy and sometimes Daddy, and practise very hard. I was ever so hungry and tired afterwards, I thought I could eat forever! I didn't get to sleep for the rest of the day though, because that evening we went to AJ's house for his daddy's birthday party.

The next day was the BEST! We went in the car to a really busy, noisy place that Mummy called the Baby Show, and I've been bought some new wheels!! I have to wait for someone to bring them to the house, but then they're mine, all mine! Apparently it means I can stay lying down for longer because it's bigger for me (I'm getting very tall you see), but the whole thing is much smaller than my old one, which I don't really understand to be honest. I can't wait though. I really hope it comes soon! That night we had another party next door with Gwennan, although Mummy and I were tired so we didn't stay very long.

Then the next day we went to see a lady who did funny stuff to my head. I don't really know what she was doing (Mummy calls it cranial osteopathy...?) but it felt ever so nice, and I went to sleep. Since then I have felt more relaxed and haven't cried as much and like to hve my little naps during the day. In fact, I think I'll go and get me some more booby then have a lovely long sleep.

Bye for now.

Busy days

Well it's been a really busy week for me, so I haven't written my blog for a while.

Last weekend we went shopping to look at some buggies in the shops. Mummy said I am getting too big for my carrycot, but that I'm too little to face forwards, so she's looking at getting a different type. I really like the one she wants to get, so whenever she looks at me in my carrycot I make myself look as big as possible just to make sure she buys the good one!

After the shops we went to see my friend Mai. This is me and Mai on Daddy's lap:



Then I sat in my throne for a bit:



Mummy and Daddy are getting me my own throne so I can rule them too! I like being King Ben!

Grandma came to see me on Monday while Mummy had a sleep. She played with me for a bit then got me to sleep, hard as I tried to stay awake! Mummy and Daddy say I don't sleep enough in the day, but there's so much fun to be had and playing to do, not to mention cuddles from all my adoring fans; how can a baby sleep when all that is on offer?!

Yesterday I went out with my friend Gwennan and her au pair Tania. Gwennan is a lot bigger than me, she is 18 months old! We had a race in our buggies and I won! Then we went to the park and Gwennan went on the swings whilst I chilled out in my buggy. I was working on how to ask her out; I like an older woman! Then we went for a walk and saw some ducks and gooseys in the lake. Daddy was seeing a tooth doctor so we went to meet him, then we went home and I screamed all the way until Mummy carried me.

Today we went to the nice doctor place and the nice doctor looked at me all over and put me on the weighing thing. Then all these ladies gave me lots and lots of cuddles, including the lady upstairs who Mummy calls Rachel. She might come and play with me sometime. I really like her.

Anyway I must go now. I've done a big poo in my nappy. I didn't do one for ages just to make Mummy worry a little bit, but it's all come out now.

Daddy's home tomorrow so we will listen to some music together.
