Monday morning was spent with Mummy doing the final packing. I was in a really bad mood as I wasn't getting any attention. I soon put a stop to that with my constant screaming.
Daddy had gone to Nanny and Granddad Rennolds' house to do some computer work and on his return, Mummy threw me at him and continued with the packing. Daddy got back late so it was quite a rush to get everything ready for when Nanny arrived at 2:45 to take us to the airport.
We managed to fit everything in the car and arrived at the airport really early. It was 3:30 and check-in wasn't even supposed to open until 4:30pm. Mummy and Daddy had something to eat and we checked all our luggage in with no problems. It was well cool using my passport for the first time.
We then decided to go into the departure lounge and we were allowed to go through the barrier and take a special route to the security checking desks because we had my buggy. I had to be taken out of my buggy as it needed to go through the x-ray machine and I was carried through by Mummy. I received a lot of attention with loads of people, smiling, giggling and cooing at me.
In the departure lounge, we had loads of time to kill. Daddy took me for a walk into a duty free shop and I tried my best to grab everything in sight. Mummy and Daddy have both said that I have started to change recently. I am definitely more aware of my environment and not just happy with anything that comes my way, I know what I want and when I want it. The only problem is trying to tell Mummy and Daddy.
I was too excited to eat or sleep, even though Mummy and Daddy tried really hard, but it didn't feel like long before we were being called to board the plane.
Because we have a buggy and of course me, we get special treatment and were allowed to board the plane first. Mummy carried me up the wobbly stairs and Daddy sorted out the buggy. When we got on board, this nice lady handed Mummy an orange seat belt, which was to be mine.
Mummy is very selective about where she sits on the plane so we were 2 rows back from the emergency exit on the right hand side, over the wing. We sat by the window which was good as we could see what was going on.
Mummy put on our seat belts and then tried to get me comfortable. It was quite tricky for her as the chair in front was so close, and I just wanted to touch it all the time.
Just as we turned the corner onto the runway, I started to get too fidgety for Mummy so she decided to feed me. This time I was interested and as the wheels left the floor, I was happily feeding and dozing. I was asleep by the time the seatbelt sign was turned off and Mummy was stuck having to hold me very still.
The flight was 1 hour 37 minutes long, not that Mummy was counting, and I only slept for the first 30 minutes or so. For a while after I woke up, I was okay. I looked around, played peek-a-boo with other people on the plane and did singing and clapping with Mummy and Daddy.
By the time we started to descend though, I was bored. Toys were boring and I didn't want to eat, so instead, I kicked the chair in front, screamed, cried and got angry.
The plane landed and Mummy and Daddy couldn't get me off of it quick enough, not sure what I had done.
In the terminal building we had to wait ages and ages for our bags and then the buggy and car seat didn't arrive until ages after that. I was so tired by now that I had given up on screaming and was just moaning a lot instead.
We finally made it out, Daddy got some cash from the machine and we asked at the information desk about where the taxis were.
We walked straight up to a taxi and Mummy strapped me in and we were off. Daddy likes to talk to the taxi drivers, and this one liked to look at Daddy when he was chatting with him. At one point he almost went through a red light!
We safely arrived at the hotel and were given our room keys. Well, I wasn't given a key as that would be silly, but you know what I mean.
We got the lift to the 1st floor and arrived at our nice room. Immediately Mummy and Daddy sorted out my bedtime things, gave me a quick wash and I was put into this funny looking bed. I played on my own for about half an hour and then finally fell asleep wondering what we will be getting up to tomorrow.
Mummy apologises for the lack of pictures but we were so busy that we just didn't get the time.
Apparently, Daddy went out and got some pizza and drinks and then they had a shower and went to bed.

Packing
First thing Sunday morning was pretty much the same as Saturday. I was a bit whiny so Mummy put me in the door swing for a little bit.
Then Mummy was chatting to Charlotte, Faith and Mark on the web cam so we put some music on and had a dance. We danced to Prodigy, R.E.M, Reverend And The Makers, Britney Spears (of course) and some Disney classics. It was really good fun but I think Mummy was a bit too excited at some points and I could do nothing more than just stare at her in disbelief.
I think in a way Mummy is feeling rather nervous about the flight tomorrow so she is acting out at some things. I'm sure she will be fine on the day but it is just getting to that point. As for me, I can't wait!
At about 11:30 we popped up to see Nanny and Granddad Rennolds. They went out last night so had slightly sore heads. I don't really understand why your head would hurt after a night out but I am sure I will find out one day.
We played around a lot and Nanny even scared me with a Boo! at one point. By the time we left, I was shattered. I was asleep by the the end of the road.
Back at home I was put in bed for a nap, while Mummy used the time to type up the blog.
Mummy has prepared a list for all the things that she will need to take for me. It goes as follows:
Car Seat
Buggy
Sling
Nappies - Day and Night
Wipes
2 x sleeping bags
Grows
Vest - short and long sleeved
Outfits
Socks
Shoes
Slippers
Toys
Kitchen sink
Books
Toothpaste/brush
Soap
Comb
Cotton buds
Bibs
Muslins
Blankets/sheets
Play mat
Calpol
Hat, scarf, gloves
Coat
Jumper
Towels
Scissors
I can't imagine what it will be like when I have a brother or sister too.
Mummy did lots of packing in the afternoon and I sat with Daddy for a bit until my favourite part of the day, bath time.
I get so excited that I just can't stay still, and it is probably the time of day where I am the most vocal as you can see from these videos.
After my very long bath, I was fed and put in bed. I know Mummy still has loads to do to get ready for tomorrow so I don't think we will be going to yoga after all. I think Mummy may attempt to do some on her own though.

Shopping
Saturday morning was a bit boring. I was in a mood because no one wanted to give me any attention. Mummy and Daddy were busy with the new computer, ironing (only Mummy), cleaning (only Mummy), and generally pottering around the house.
Mummy bagged up my squash and parsnip and I think she will be doing spinach and sweetcorn next. One week today and I will be trying baby rice for the first time. Keep a look out for a video.
Daddy had to go out to the Mall to pick up Mummy's mobile phone that had been repaired, so Mummy and I decided to join him. We didn't leave the house until about 2:30pm and once at the Mall we were rushing around every where.
Mummy bought me a new hat and gloves for our trip to Berlin and I was also bought 2 new books! One of the books has puzzles in it which is well cool. Because we bought books about Spot, I got a free cuddly toy.
On our way home, we stopped off at some more shops. Mummy went into Tesco for some nappies and came out with nappies, wipes, a top for me and 2 packets of hot cross buns. Naughty.
Then Mummy ran around Ikea to get another storage box for all of Daddy's computer stuff and then I was taken into Mothercare to have my bum changed. Whilst in Mothercare Mummy bought me some t-shirts and she wanted to buy some pyjamas but Daddy wouldn't let her. Boo.
By now I was really fed up of shopping and I was really hungry too. I cried all the way home.
At home Mummy fed me immediately and Daddy emptied the car. As we were home so late, it was only 30 minutes until my bath time.
Mummy and Daddy no longer let me have Mr Seahorse when I am in the bath. The problem is, is that I can fit part of Mr Seahorse in my mouth and when Mummy and Daddy try to get him back, I don't let them. I then get really mad when they finally manage to get him back. I am now stuck with Mr Crocodile, Mr Octopus and Mr Dolphin.
One last big feed before bed.

Spongy Wedge
Last night I slept really well again. I don't think it will be long before I am going through the night.
I have been waking between 3am and 4am for a feed before going back to sleep until 7:30am. I usually play in my cot for 30 minutes and then Daddy gets me. Not a bad routine really. I'm sure it wont work when were on holiday though as I will be in a strange bed and Mummy and Daddy will have the lights on in the room. We will see.
I had a really good time at swimming. There were lots of people there for a change so there was lots going on. Chloe seemed to enjoy herself a lot too. She was really confident and was going off swimming and playing with the floats. Usually she runs around the outside of the pool and barely gets in. Kamron wasn't feeling too special so he wasn't in long.
I was starving by the time we got out. We went straight home but I fell asleep in the car, so I didn't get fed until nearly 1 o'clock! That was 5 hours since my last feed!
Mummy had lunch and played with me for a bit and then we were off in the car on our way to Twinkling Stars.
This week we had coloured sticks with brightly coloured bits of material attached to the end. We waved them about and Steve, the man who runs it, did really big waves with about 100 different coloured sticks! Obviously that was a slight exaggeration.
The rest of the time was spent trying out the different bits of apparatus. Mummy is unable to get any videos or pictures as we are always so busy.
As you have probably seen, I can now roll from my back to my front with no problem. At Twinkling Stars, Mummy puts me on this spongy wedge and helps me to roll down it. I used to be able to roll from my front to my back and then Mummy would help me the rest of the way. Well, not this week, as to Mummy's surprise, I rolled from my back, all the way over onto my back again. This took me to nearly the bottom of the wedge in one quick movement. I think Mummy was very proud of me.
I was shattered when we left and I was quickly asleep when the car started to move. At home, Mummy put me straight to bed and I didn't wake up until about 5:30pm.
The evening was spent doing the usual things of reading, playing, chatting, singing and dancing before my bath and bed. I have such a good time everyday and my Mummy and Daddy are doing a great job.
As we haven't taken any new pictures today, please see below some oldies.

Rolling
The week so far has been rather routine so Mummy hasn't been writing the blog every night.
Monday morning is yoga, which was really good and we stayed for a while after to have a nice long chat with the other mums.
Mummy planned to go to Ikea on the way home but it was just too busy so we went around the traffic and back home.
We stayed in for the rest of the day waiting for a delivery but it didn't arrive until quite late.
Here are some more pictures of me with Mr Seahorse. Plus I have started to get rather clever by trying to hold 2 toys at once.
On Tuesday, first thing in the morning Mummy and I just took our time getting ready. I usually have another feed and a quick nap before leaving for Jolly Babies.
The car park was crammed when we arrived and all these silly Mummies were going to and fro, trying to get into car parking spaces. Mummy was getting rather frustrated as she is a much better driver and wanted to get out and move all the cars herself. Plus I had a dirty nappy which needed to be changed before we started singing.
The hall was really hot but we had an excellent time. We even did a bit of line dancing again which is well cool. My favourite song was played too, "A baby came a dancing".
We went home after and just sat in. Mummy had lunch and then Auntie Lucy came over for a coffee. I really like Auntie Lucy and I gave her lots of big smiles.
Mummy forgot to tell Auntie Lucy that I now have 2 teeth so I accidentally took a bite out of her finger. Oops.
In the evening Daddy sat and read to me. The books are really good but I just want to taste them!
Wednesday was Mummy morning at our house. Mummy made lots of tea, coffee and squash and put out a plate of cakes that went down very well.
Faith seemed to have a lovely time just chilling out on the sofa watching the world go by.
Charlotte and Faith stayed for lunch and Mummy did a fry up. It was the first time she had ever done anything like that and I think she was very proud of herself. It seemed to be eaten very quickly so I think it tasted nice.
For some reason I was feeling rather hungry and sleepy all day. I slept at 10 for 30 minutes, then at 2 for just over an hour, then again at 3:30 to 4:15. I was still in bed by 7:15 and slept through to 4am.
In this short video, if you look very carefully, my face is moving as I am having a dream about something. A few seconds before I was smiling but Mummy missed it.
Our new computer arrived, in bits, and the evening was spent with Mummy building it with Daddy looking on. I think she did a good job and I know she enjoyed it. I think she loved the fact that she was doing something with Daddy and not just sat in front of the T.V., or ironing.
Mummy was too tired to go to line dancing so she just showered and went to bed.
Next week we are off on our first family holiday to Berlin, so there wont be a blog until we get back. I think it will be quite a long one so don't worry if you don't see anything for ages.
Thursday is our staying in day. In the morning I had a nice feed and then a quick nap back in my bed. Mummy noticed that I had fallen asleep still holding my rattle and decided to video me.
Nanny and Kamron came over so we ended up going out after all, for a walk. It was very cold outside but it was nice to get some fresh air.
We went to the library to change my books and then went into the shops. We stopped in the cafe in Sainsburys and had something to eat, well, I didn't but everyone else did.
Then Kamron and I both had a nap in our buggies, so Nanny and Mummy went for a really long walk around the neighbourhood and didn't get home until 45 minutes later.
I had my nap in the afternoon which is when Mummy did this very long blog and then Daddy came to get me from my bed when he got home from work.
I was put on my back, on my mat to play for a bit while Mummy and Daddy were making dinner and messing around with the new computer. When they returned to the living room, this is how they found me.
Little did they know but I managed to grab the elephant toy hanging in front of me, but it fell off and away from me. Well, I thought it was about time that I retrieved my toys myself, so I rolled over and got it.
Mummy and Daddy were so chuffed that they kept putting me on my back and then teasing me with the elephant toy again, and again, and again. I showed them my new trick with pleasure and Daddy did a video for you all to see.
As you probably know, it is swimming then Twinkling Stars tomorrow and I think the weekend will be spent getting everything ready for our holiday. I am so excited about going away. I have to go on a plane for the first time and a bus, and a train, and sleep in a travel cot, and stay in a hotel, and hear a different language! So many firsts!

Cheers Drive
This weekend was, for me, rather boring. We stayed in the whole weekend and Mummy and Daddy were very busy getting rid of loads of stuff from the garage and loft.
Saturday night bath time was good fun. I have this new toy from Christmas and Daddy calls him Mr Seahorse. He fits perfectly in my mouth, but the fun part is that Mummy and Daddy can't get him out!
On Sunday Daddy and I had a long lie in.
Mummy dressed me in a big boys t-shirt that Daddy got me for Christmas. It says "Cheers Drive" on it which is apparently something we say where we live. Mummy said it made me look a lot older than I am.

I've been sleeping rather well recently. I hope that I can keep it up as it allows Mummy to get loads of rest too.

Trunks
Thursday morning I had some more door swinging time. I haven't been in the door swing for ages so Mummy had to raise the bar up. Unfortunately I think it was slightly too high and my feet could hardly touch the floor.
In the morning Mummy was taking some photos of the floor. I couldn't quite work out what she was doing until she showed me this picture - very cute.
The weather was really horrible so we stayed in until Nanny Rennolds called and asked us if we wanted to go to Morrisons with her. We love it there for some reason so we quickly accepted.
At Morrisons we looked around at all the lovely food. It is all displayed so nicely. Mummy wanted to buy me some butternut squash and pumpkin but surprisingly they didn't have any.
Nanny bought some scallops and then a nice man put 2 more in for free! Nanny later phoned Mummy and told her that her recipe with the scallops was a huge success.
The afternoon and evening was spent just playing at home.
In the evening I was bathed, fed and in bed by just after 7. Mummy was shattered and used her evening to vegetate in front of the television.
Friday morning is swimming time. We arrived slightly early so took our time getting ready. Mummy bought me some new trunks with her this week but they were slightly too big for me.
Swimming was really good and I enjoyed it loads. I had this little rubber toy that I was allowed to chew on and I looked like an otter eating on his back while going around the pool.
After swimming we went to get some diesel. I fell asleep but apparently it took Mummy ages as the garage was really busy.
At home we had a quick bit of lunch and a short nap before going out again to Twinkling Stars. This week we were all given really brightly coloured bits of material that floated through the air. It was amazing to see, as there were hundreds of them going up and down.
At home it was time for yet another nap and I was woken up by Daddy coming home. He always likes to get me from my afternoon nap.
We played and chatted for a while and then it was soon time for bath and bed. I woke a lot in the night with a new cough and Mummy said I was snoring too. I hope I don't become ill again.
Mummy spent her evening batching up some broccoli, peas and carrots for me. Yum, yum, I think.

Hair Raising Experience
Tuesday morning Mummy and I had a photo session. I am really getting quite confident with having my photo taken, but try as I might, Mummy wouldn't let me be the one to take the photos.
Nanny came over and we went to Jolly Babies. It was good fun as always and we even did a little bit of line dancing. Nanny looked very proud.
Straight after we went to the Mall again as Mummy had to take some pyjamas back to Marks and Spencer. We wandered around for a long time and I managed to catch a glimpse of a very good looking baby. I stopped for a quick chat of course.
We had lunch in a nice little cafe, and as we were leaving we spotted Sally and Anna. Mummy shouted hello at them over the balcony.
Walking around the shops, I noticed that a lot of people smile at me and comment on my hair and try to talk to me. It is really nice and I feel like a superstar but soon they will be wanting my picture.
Back at home, I kept Mummy busy until Daddy got home and then I kept him busy instead. Daddy bathed me as Mummy was batching up some apple and pear for me.
I was in bed at a sensible time but I think Mummy is hoping I will be in bed earlier tomorrow as she is going out to line dancing which starts at 7:30.
Wednesday is Mummies morning, well today it actually ran into Mummies afternoon as we were all having such a nice time and we didn't have anything else we would rather of been doing.
We were around Sally and Anna's house but we should have gone to Sarah and Toby's but Toby's brother, Oliver was sick and we were worried about catching a bug. Sarah said she understood and we all hope Oliver feels better soon.
Sophie and Anna are doing really well at sitting up as you can see from this picture.
We were at Sally's for so long that Faith and I had a kip or two.
We eventually thought we had outstayed our welcome and managed to drag ourselves out of the house. We walked home, me in my sling, and it was really windy. It was so windy that it really messed my hair up, literally.
Once Mummy had stopped laughing at my hair and taking pictures, she got on with rushing around doing a quick bit of housework. I was a bit whiny on my play mat but I managed until about 4 when Mummy put me to bed for an hour.
In the evening I played with Daddy and was eventually bathed and put to bed.
Nanny came over and we went to Jolly Babies. It was good fun as always and we even did a little bit of line dancing. Nanny looked very proud.

Forgot Me!
Yoga this morning and we were running late as always. We were running so late and Mummy was rushing so much, and she was very tired, that she almost forgot to put me in the car!
Yoga was packed. There is usually only 5 of us, Sarah and Thomas, Lorna and Anthony, Kerri and Oliver, Rachael and Euan and Mummy and I, but today there was 7 Mummies and their babies. It was really cramped and hot.
Everyone pretty much behaved themselves and Mummy had a nice chat with everyone after the workout. I went to sleep of course.
We left yoga quite late and stopped in Ikea on the way home. The things that Mummy wanted weren't there so we just bought a new cereal bowl, (Mummy smashed one) and a runner for the table. Not really sure what that is.
We popped up to Nanny and Granddad Rennolds' house to drop off an anniversary card for Auntie Katie but we soon realised that Nanny was on her way to see us! We couldn't believe that we had let Nanny down, so after a quick cuppa we made our way home, quickly, where Nanny was waiting outside.
I had a sleep while Nanny and Mummy chatted about stuff that I am too young to even be interested in yet.
Mummy entertained me until Daddy came home and then she cooked dinner for Daddy and Uncle Dave, who came over to help Daddy run the pipe from the bathroom to the kitchen.
I was really tired from about 5 o'clock and rather than go to sleep, I just got grumpy instead. I needed a lot of attention.
After dinner, Mummy carried me around until it was bath time. I cried the entire time as I was so tired and hungry. Mummy fed me but I fell asleep quite quickly. I think I may wake later for some more food.
Mummy spent her evening, ironing and typing up the blog. We didn't take any pictures today so here are a few oldies.

Food For Me!
On Saturday morning Mummy was changing my bum, as she always does first thing and I noticed a long white cord hanging down from the ceiling. Mummy stood me up so that she could pull my trousers up and I decided to take my chance, and grabbed the cord. As soon as I did, the light went off! I soon learnt that if I pulled and let go, the light goes on and off. It was so much fun and I was doing it for ages. Mummy got bored before me and so she took me downstairs.
For regular blog readers, you might remember that a few weeks ago Mummy bought me some new sleeping bags. Well here is a picture of one of them. Mummy doesn't like it though as it has poppers all the way down it rather than a zip.
Daddy made bacon sandwiches for breakfast and then we went out to the Mall to do some shopping.
While we were in NEXT buying some new baby grows, we bumped into Rachael, Andrew and Euan. It was so nice to see them as they haven't been at yoga for ages. I think they are going to go this week though, so it will be nice to catch up.
We were shopping for ages so we stopped in a cafe for some lunch before going home.
Back at home and Mummy and Daddy were busy doing things around the house. I did my usual thing of playing on my mat, while singing and talking.
Mummy put me to bed in the usual way and then Daddy and Mummy went out downtown for a leaving party. Mummy's friend Carla and her husband Chris are moving to Perth, Australia, forever! Mummy was really sad but enjoyed the party. She even got to have a dance, which she loves. Uncle Wayne looked after me which was really nice of him as his wife Nic was in London watching the Spice Girls. I think Daddy was jealous about that.
On Sunday Mummy and Daddy were very tired from having a late night but I was ready to get on with the day. Mummy and I went downstairs and just chilled out until Daddy got out of bed.
The morning was spent doing more things around the house. Daddy put up some pictures and then spent lots of time trying to get a pipe from the bathroom, down to the kitchen and into the back of the freezer.
After lunch Mummy wanted to go for a walk. It was freezing out so Daddy and I wrapped up warm.
We had a really nice walk though. Well, Mummy and Daddy did. I just sat in the buggy all nice and warm and went to sleep.
Mummy spent most of Sunday in the kitchen, cooking. I later found out that she was cooking for me! I can't wait to start trying it all. It wont be long now and I will be trying some baby rice and milk.
Usual nightime routine and I was in bed at 7:30. What another busy weekend. I can't believe it is yoga again tomorrow.

Snow
I slept really well last night, 7:30pm til 4:30am. I had a nice large feed in the morning and went back to sleep for a bit.
The weather was horrible outside but we had to go swimming as we hadn't been for ages. We wrapped up warm and made it to swimming just before 11, getting rained on in the process.
We went in to the pool and Nanny, Auntie Katie, Chloe and Kamron arrived shortly after. It wasn't long before we were all in the pool having fun. Luckily we were the only ones in the pool and Nanny managed to capture some videos and pictures.
After swimming, we had a shower and then got wet in the rain going to the car. We then went to a nice restaurant for some dinner with Nanny, Grandad, Auntie Kate, Chloe, Kamron, Great Uncle Roger and Great Auntie B. We had a really nice time but did get wet going to and from the car. It was really slushy, cold rain.
Just after we got back in the house, getting wet again of course, it started to snow! It was amazing and Mummy was really excited. We watched it out the window for ages.
We didn't have long before we had to go out and get wet again. We had to pick Charlotte and Faith up on our way to Twinkling Stars.
This week, because I had a nap in the afternoon, I had loads of energy and really enjoyed myself. I showed everyone my new teeth and spent some time standing around with my girls, Faith, Sophie and Anna. Iestyn and I tried to hold hands for a bit but Mummy wouldn't let us. Not sure why.
Back at home, after getting wet yet again, Mummy had a shower and I went to bed. Mummy is out tonight at a line dance.
Daddy did my bath and got me dressed and Mummy fed me and put me to bed. I was still wide awake for about half an hour but I soon went to sleep all by myself.
Mummy took some videos of Nanny and Granddad doing some line dancing.
Mummy also took a photo of R Ange with Granddad and R John in the background.
Mummy said she had a fantastic time and can't wait to go again.

2 Teeth
The cause of my sleepless nights is my 2 new teeth! They have now broken through the skin and Mummy wont let me bite on her finger anymore. I don't think Mummy will have the chance of taking a photo of them for a while yet.
Mummy morning was wicked as usual. Iestyn and Anna were missing today but we still had lots of fun.
Mummy managed to get some video and pictures of me sitting up, kind of.
Me being naughty
Me sitting
Mummy was shattered after doing so much yesterday and then not having enough sleep but we had arranged to see Auntie Lucy in the afternoon.
We had lunch at home and then went around to Auntie Lucy's house. Ashlee was there and so was Ria with her Nanny and Grandad. We had lots of fun and Mummy really enjoyed having a chat.
Back at home and bedtime was a nightmare again. Mummy went out though and I had Daddy hold my hand until I fell asleep. I hope the pain goes away soon.
Thursday is generally the chores day. Mummy does washing, ironing, tiding and shopping if anything is needed.
Today though we went to the library, picked up a couple of books and stayed for the nursery rhymes session. Towards the end there was a really nice surprise, Nanny Rennolds arrived!
We did some food shopping and I fell asleep of course as it is so boring.
At home Mummy put me to bed but I could hear Nanny and Mummy doing a crossword together.
When I woke up Daddy was home. He looked after me while Mummy cooked the dinner. I sat at the table with them using my cup, but I don't like the taste of the water. I do drink the bath water but that has bubbles in it to add flavour.
Mummy had to sing to me to get me to calm down enough to have my last feed. I eventually dozed off and I was put in bed. I wasn't happy about it at first but I soon settled down.
I cannot believe that it is Twinkling Stars again tomorrow! Now that things are back to normal and we are busy again, the days just tick by. I'm 23 weeks old on Sunday, I'm getting old.

Foot and Mouth
Mummy spoke too soon about me sleeping well. I have 2 teeth coming through on the bottom and they have woken me up in the night. It really hurts and there isn't much that Mummy can do.
Monday morning and we went to our yoga class. It was really nice to see everyone. We are all growing up so quickly.
Mummy had a really good work out at the yoga because we were all so well behaved.
Back at home and we had visitors. Charlotte and Faith came over to see us. We had such a nice time, playing, chatting and eating.
I am actually doing quite well with my sitting up. Mummy hasn't been able to get a picture yet though.
In the evening we had to pick up our car from Nanny Georges' house. Nanny was at work so we popped in to see her first and then left Daddy to go home for my bath and bed.
Tuesday is Jolly Baby day. We had a really good time and I was so happy to be back there. I was really vocal and everyone was laughing at me, or with me, I'm not sure.
We then popped up to Nanny and Granddad Rennolds' house to pick up some car keys and then rushed home to pick up my red book for our visit to the health visitor.
I was weighed in at 18lb 1oz. I am getting really big now and I'm growing out of all my clothes. Good job I received loads for Christmas.
We then went food shopping. I fell asleep as it was really boring and I didn't wake up until Mummy had just finished at the check-out.
At home Mummy was working hard getting the kitchen sorted out and I played on my mat.
While I was on my changing mat, waiting for my bath, I found out that I can actually put my foot in my mouth. Mummy just laughed at me but I thought it was well cool.
Bedtime was a nightmare! I was put down at about 7:30 and I was still screaming the house down at 9pm. Not a good start to the night.
