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

Baby B.

Getting Bigger Every day!

Well, i;ve been a busy little baby this last 3 weeks! So busy in fact that I've hardly had

time to update this website of mine! Anyway, these are the hilites from the last 3

weeks!

Football blues! Daddy was very sad after the FA Cup final that he went to with

Grandad Robinson. We lost in the last 3 minutes of the game so we never got our

double that Daddy said we would get. He said not to worry, because now we have

some better players, we'll get a treble next year! Daddy cheered up lots the following

week when some team called Liverpool lost against some Italian team. Daddy said

when I'm older I can go and watch United with him and Grandad Robinson and I'm

looking forward to seeing what all the fuss is about and listening to them argue in the

car!

Nappy Blues! Well, not for Daddy anyway! I've not been doing too many poos recently

so Mummy and Daddy say Im a very good girl. What they don't know is that I'm

saving it all up for them! he he he!

Out and About! I've been all over the place recently in my chauffeur driven car. I really

like going on trips in the car and have been camping with Nanny & Grandad Baker

where I met even more relatives that I never knew I had! There was another Baby there

and he was a boy. He was bigger than me but that's because he was older than me by

nearly 3 whole months! I'm not sure if I like boys much yet, apparently they are a bit

silly and not at all clever like us girls are! So mummy says. I also went to watch

Daddy swimming with Nanny Robinson and afterwards we went round Nanny's flat

which was all colourful and decorated lovely! She has a very pretty garden too and I

went to sleep in it whilst daddy eat his special after swimming meal of Chinese. Daddy

says he's swimming to get fit so he can play with me when I'm older but I don't think

eating Chinese afterwards is going to help. I won't say anything though! I've also been

to work nearly every day with Mummy & Daddy and watched them as they wrapped up

lots and lots of funny wigs, costumes & things. I like Daddy's business...it's silly.

Weigh-hey! I've been doing lots and lots...and lots of eating and am now getting up to

nearly 5oz per feed! I went for my first big Pram ride in the rain with Mummy and

Daddy to get weighed but when we got there we found out it wasn't until next week!

Mummy and Daddy got all wet and soggy but I was nice and dry under my plastic

cover on my pram that our nice next door neighbour showed silly mummy and daddy

how to put on properly! Eventually Mummy and Daddy got the right date (but took the

car this time just in case they got wet again!) and I finally got to be weighed. I was the

smallest one there but I'm not so small now that I'm 7lbs 10oz!!!! I've put on a whole

pound and 1 ounce. I also met another boy who was almost as small as me.

Apparently he was in his mummy's tummy about the same time as I was in my

mummy's tummy and that we'd already met before but only as bumps!

Communicating with the big people! As you will know, all us small people have a

very special way of communicating with each other that only we understand. So to

benefit the silly grown ups we have to do things with our face to let them know we are

okay. Mummy calls this smiling and daddy laughs when I do it. So far i've smiled at

nearly everyone I've met in the last week and every time I do, they start talking all

funny like goo goo gaar gaar! I wonder why? I've also decided that if you want anything

done, it's best to do it yourself. So because of this I've started to use my hands to

reach out for things and then mummy & daddy get it for me when I can't quite grab it. If

all else fails though, I still find that just SCREAMING at them works!

Anyway, I've got to go now as Daddy wants to use the internet to look for a Caravan for

me to have holidays in! Talk soon! BLRxxx

Doesn't time fly

Friday - I went to the lock up with Daddy for 45mins today and guess what I stayed

awake and had a good look around - WOW it's great. I still get presents everyday in

the post - It's great being a baby.

Thursday - I am 2 weeks old today and I got weighed by the health visitor and I put on

loads of weight I am now 6lb 11oz, cor that's 5oz in a week. I went to work with

Daddy again but slept through it again, this is getting silly I want to see where Daddy

works!!! Me and Mummy had a sleep from 4 - 7pm whilst Daddy did some work and

made Mummy dinner. I went to sleep at 2am again but I stayed in bed until 11am with

only 1 feed at 7am, so I think Mummy is a bit happier with me :-)

Wednesday - Cried and cried and cried again went to sleep at 2am again!!

Tuesday - Guess what cried loads again and didn't go to sleep until 2am. Mummy is

getting fed up with me crying and eating all the time. But the midwife said it's normal

and I am having a growth spurt so I need more food. It's Mummy's fault she isn't giving

me enough milk. I'm STARVING :-)

Monday - I didn't got to sleep until 3am last night and cried loads again! I went to

Daddies lock up again and I still haven't seen it as I slept through the whole afternoon,

probably tired myself out last night screaming.

Sunday - Today is Mummy's birthday but she didn't seem very happy about it, I cried

all day and got lots of cuddles from Nanny Merritt. But I think I upset Mummy.

Wednesday to Friday - Loads happened

Yesterday mummy said I was an angel as I let her stay in bed

for 11 hours and she only had to feed me twice, so guess what last night I was an

angel for her again and I slept from 9.30pm - 9am only waking up for food a couple of

times. Mummy and daddy got to have a take away for dinner and sit together and

watch a film (whatever all that means) I think I made them very happy.

On Thursday I was one week old. I met Aunty Keeley for the first time (she was all

pink) Paul said that was supposed to be a sun tan. But I thought she looked lovely. I

got lots of cuddles then we went on a big car journey to take Aunty Keeley home,

guess what I did - yep I slept all the way there and back.

Nanny and Granddad Baker sent me a happy birthday email with a cake & candles on

it - well cooool my first email and birthday :-)

On Wednesday the midwife came to visit and she weighed me I've lost 3oz but that is

really good (without dieting either!! Mummy's jealous). So I'm even littler now, lucky

Nanny & Granddad Baker bought me some tiny baby clothes. Then she was mean

and made my foot bleed, she said it was for my own good, but I don't think so!!

Meeting my Great Granddad & Daddies lock-up

Yesterday when I was 5 days old I met my Great Granddad Baker and went

to work with Daddy. I don't know much about my trip to daddies lock up though as I

slept through the whole trip. Maybe next time I'll be awake and can help. Meeting

Great Grandad Baker was cool, he's very old and has big hands and a furry face. He

cuddled me for ages, Nanny Baker was getting very jealous.

My adventures from birth to 4 days old

I've been on a bumpy car ride coming home from hospital in my car

seat. I liked that very much and showed Mummy & Daddy just how much I liked it

by going to sleep! I've also had my first bath time in the big grown up bath. It was

HUGE! I have a Winnie the Pooh mitten to wash me with and a rubber ducky who tells

Mummy & Daddy if the water is nice and right for my little bum! I've also

ridden on a great big furry black animal called BoBo. He meows, so I think he is what

you call a Pussy Cat! He likes me because he licked my hair gently and he purrs at

me! The bestest bit so far though is that I watched my very first Manchester United

game and it was versus some smelly team called Manchester City!?! I've never

heard of them and we beat them 1-0. Then, the next day my favourite team United

became Champions of the Premier League (I think that's what Daddy called it)

and made a grumpy looking foreign man cry. It was very funny and I liked it lots! Daddy

says that in a few weeks we will have a Double? I'm not sure what that is but

Daddy is very excited about it and so is Mummy!
