Clubbing & Swimming

What a busy month I've had. despite the total rubbish weather I seem to have to endure since my arrival on this planet, Mummy and Daddy still decided to take me away with Nanny Robinson for a Camping Weekend in their Caravan to a place called "Sunny" Calcton. I am still trying to understand this funny "Sunny" Joke. Anyway, I got my new Swimming costume which was all pink and sparkly and I went for my very first swim in a big pool. I loved every moment of it, especially as everyone commented on just how beautiful I looked in my costume! After swimming Mummy, Daddy & Nanny took me to a Nightclub where I watched Sparky the Rabbit, Narky the Rat and some very talented singers and dancers. The music later in the evening was a bit loud so I had a kip. All in all though, I enjoy this clubbing thing and intend to do lots more of it in future!

I've been to see or been visited by all my other Grandparents and a few Aunts & Uncles too! All very exciting and I reward each one of them with a huge smile and a little gabble and giggle which I have now learnt to use to my advantage with the silly grown ups. I had to have yet another medical appointment today and the doctor was very pleased with me and my growth. I did tell him that of course I'd be growing, seeing as mummy makes such yummy food for me. I now weigh 11lb4oz but still look smaller and cuter than all the other babies (or at least that's what Daddy says).

I've met a few other babies on my travels and I've noticed that they can understand me so I talk to them a lot now too. Daddy got a new Telly when he went to a big shopping place to spend my gift vouchers! So now I have lots and lots of play toys plus a huge colourful screen that I have total control over. Trouble is, it's blank most of the time because Daddy says it will give me square eyes and a fat bum so I spend a lot of time kicking and playing with my toys instead but I'll work out a cunning plan to get the remote control under my total powers soon enough I'm sure.

Seeing as the weather has improved a bit more, I've instructed Daddy to do some more gardening to give me more room to play when I'm bigger. Daddy looks very tired but I've told him that he has to get it done before winter sets in and he's too busy to garden because he'll be playing with me, so he's getting on with it. Mummy is getting closer to her return to work date and I think that Daddy and me will miss her in the daytime lots and lots and lots. My Mummy is great, she makes me special food, gives me special cuddles and plays with me lots and lots. She's nearly as pretty as me I think and I know that me and Daddy will have to do our best when she goes back to work. I've promised to help Daddy with the house work if he helps me with learning to crawl.

So far, I have mastered the movement of my hands and legs but I don't seem to be able to lift myself off the floor long enough to actually move on my own just yet. So for now I still have to rely on the grown ups to fetch and carry everything for me. Perhaps I won't rush this crawling thing too much! Anyway, I'm off for a spot of lunch before my afternoon nap now. Check back soon as I'm bound to have done more amazing things and seen more amazing places! XXX Baby B XXX

Jabs & Camping + More!

Hello all, sorry for the long gap between this and the last update! I'm a busy little girl you know and Mummy and Daddy have had a hard time keeping up with me!

Most recently I've been back to see the now not so nice Doctor who after weighing me (9lbs now!) decided to attack me for no reason and stab me in the leg not once but TWICE! Of course I dealt with it very well by showing how brave I was, kicking the Doctor and then using my great big Daddy to hide behind! Daddy said I was very brave and that for my first ever jabs I did really well. I am quite frankly disturbed at this "first ever" remark. If they think I'm falling for that again they have another thing coming! As if being stabbed twice by the silly doctor wasn't bad enough, she also said I had a small head and wants to see me again soon to check it's growing properly. What a cheek! She was a fine one to talk. At least my nose fits my face unlike hers!

Anyway. Mummy and Daddy have bought a big ugly thing they call a Caravan. Nobody likes it except them. Apparently they got it for me so I went away with them in it so as not to hurt their feelings. I did cringe when the neighbours all came out to watch Daddy try and reverse it onto the driveway. Eventually a helpful neighbour put some hazard tape on the nearest buildings and clever daddy managed to squeeze it into the 40ft gap he had to put it into. Considering that it was not a hotel like the one I live in, it wasn't that bad but I had to sleep on the floor which I was not too impressed with. During our trips in the Caravan, I've been to a few restaurents and a couple of pubs including a nightclub and found them to be very nice places. Mummy said I was a very good girl for staying quiet through the meals, but that was so I could keep them awake later on (he he).

I've discoverd a new thing called swimming. I rather like it, although it's most annoying that I have to wait until I am 20lbs before I can find a nappy big enough to swim in! So until then I have to get Mummy to take me swimming in the big bath with my rubber ducky. It's great fun, especially when there are bubbles and I've already learnt to paddle.

I've also learnt a new form of communication with the big people called "talking". It's a shame to have to resort to such low levels of communication but it's the only way I can make any sense to anyone over the age of 4. I'[ve also discovered that if I talk and smile at the same time, everyone gets very excited and start to pull silly faces and talk all stupid! It's very funny so I'll keep doing it, but not too much...that way I'll keep them all interested and keen!

I've visited Nanny and Granddad Baker, Nanny Robinson before she went to Bulgaria (whatever that is) and also been visited by Granddad and Nanny Robinson as well as Nanny Merrit & Pop. It was Daddy's Birthday a little while ago and I wrote him his very first Card from me. He said it was very special and was really pleased with it. He wasn't so pleased later though when I gave him a VERY SPECIAL birthday present thanks to the laxatives the nasty doctor gave me for my dodgy belly! Still, I felt better for it! I'm only little you know and I stored that all up for nearly 2 weeks just for Daddy! Mummy had to help him deal with it as he was overcome with emotion....or something!

So, it's been busy busy busy. I've got to go now and I have to supervise Daddy doing the gardening whilst I lounge in the shade.

BIG KISSES XXXX
