I'm a big boy now!!!

Since daddy last wrote on here I've been getting bigger every day!! The health visitor came today and I weighed 11lb 7oz, I've put on a whole pound in a week (mummy's milk is very yummy!!). I'm drinking lots and playing lots now, sleep is for the weak! Mummy and Daddy have moved me from the basket in their room to my big cot in my own room. I like my cot but prefer to play in it than sleep. We've all been busy in Sheffield getting ready for my christening on Sunday. Unfortunately Mummy had a minor crisis this week when her washing machine broke ( I have been making too much washing I think). The men from Currys saved the day by fitting a new machine yesterday so we no longer have to travel round mummy's friends houses doing the washing. Mummy has also had a cold and been fairly poorly, she was too tired to feed me sometimes so I had mummy's milk in a bottle from daddy and Grandma.

I now have regular "boy's time" with daddy, my favourite thing is to go swimming on a Saturday morning. Last week we also went to the barbers ( I didn't need a cut this time) and watched some cricket

Time for more milk so must go, hope to see lots of you on Sunday.

Its raining again!!

Its been rather wet in Sheffield over the past few weeks. Luckily we live at the top of a hill so all the water has run past our house. However, lots of people have been flooded up here. Daddy's not managed to play any cricket due to the rain - I think Mummy must be doing a rain dance when he's not looking!!

I'm growing all the time - I weighed 10lbs 7 when the health visitor came the other day. Mummy & Daddy know I'm getting taller as lots of my baby clothes no longer fit and have been bagged up and put in the cellar.

I went with Mummy to stay with Grandma and Grandad for a week to see lots of the family I had not yet met. I enjoyed it as I got lots of attention and cuddles - I think Mummy felt left out.

I have started baby swimming classes, although I didn't like it when the instructor poured water all over me and in the end I had to get out a bit early as I was getting tired. I do have a rather funky nappy to wear though.

Grandma has come to visit today and is going to look after me tonight so Mummy & Daddy can have some sleep - I've been keeping them up rather a lot over the past few nights. Mind, Daddy says he can sleep through me kicking my legs and gurgling its Mummy talking at 3:30 in the morning thats keeping him awake!

I've learned to sit in my Bumbo and have started to play with lots of my toys. We went toy shopping at Mothercare at the weekend and Mummy bought some new toys. think they are more for her to play with than me though!

Later this month it's my Christening so I expect I'll see lots of you then.

Daddy has put some new photos on the web at http://picasaweb.google.com/jongillgrass

See you all soon
