Don't Mess with the Kid

Who's the baddest kid on the block??

Playtime with Daddy

Phew wee, it was warm today! Mummy was on a mission to find us a mobile air conditioner, but so many of the stores had sold out. Eventually she found one that didn't cost an arm and a leg, well, maybe just an arm! But it should be worth it. It reached 29 deg C today outside, and 29 deg C in my room as well! How is a little girl to sleep? When Mummy and Daddy got it working tonight, the temperature dropped relatively quickly, although soon crept up again once it was off. Ah well, I am sure tomorrow we will get it to a much more even, sleepable temperature!

This summer weather is good though. Mummy takes me outside lots to have a good kick about, and today we met up with some of the NCT mummies to go for a walk around Pennington Flash, a big lake and Park not too far from home. Mummy says we will have to take Daddy there sometime too!

When Daddy came home from work, we had a play together. Hide and seek is so much fun, and Daddy plays it the best!

Naughty Mummy

We all went swimming today. I had lots of fun with both Mummy and Daddy. Mummy sneaked her camera into the pool area, and took this very cute photo of me. Just as she took it, the lifeguard came and told her off for using the camera. Opps! Here is the photo anyway!

The Answer My Friend, Is Blowing in the Wind ...

It was such a lovely morning, Mummy and I went outside. Mummy potted around in the garden tidying a few things up. Meanwhile, I was mesmerized by the trees ...

Happy Father's Day Daddy!

Today we got to celebrate Father's Day with Daddy!

I had a chat with Mummy about a present for Daddy, and we decided on a book (don't know when he'll have time to read it!), some chocolates and magazines! Lucky Daddy!

We were having a great weekend so far (our best in ages!), so we decided to head out for lunch! We were going to go to the Delamere Forest, but the bridge to cross the canal was shut, and we really thought it was a bit too grey and rainy for a walk, so ended up at a pub! They both filled themselves up on the pub food, that we almost had to roll ourselves home!


I was tempted with Mummy's meal - I have had such a hungry week this week, it has been difficult for them to fill me up. But, they did decide it was a little too early for me to be having chicken pie, so I got my bottle of milk instead!

We've got wheels!

Today we went on a big family shopping trip, and now Mummy and I have our very own car! Hoorah, there will be no stopping us during the week now! We are the proud owners of a new used Citroen Xsara. Mummy thinks the name is very appropriate for her!

The man who sold us the car was very nice, and took Daddy on a long test drive. Mummy and I waited back in the car and had a snooze together!

A deposit has been paid, now we just have to wait until he can deliver it to us during the week!

Mummy finally caught me smiling for the camera!

It has been such a smiley day today, I am feeling good! My pain is going away now, and I am enjoying playing with Mummy and getting out and about!

Today we went to the Aquanatal class. Mummy did the class while I watched from the side of the pool. I was meant to be asleep, but there was just too much going on! Afterwards Mummy took me into the toddlers pool and we had a great swim. I am even enjoying putting my head underneath the water now! I can't wait until we go again! Maybe Daddy might take me on the weekend ...

My Hospital Visit

Well, the baby doctor had given me some medication for my reflux, but it just wasn't kicking in. Mummy was at her wits end because I was in pain so much of the time. So after talking with the baby doctor again on Monday, Mummy took me into hospital yesterday to be observed while feeding. Well, yesterday was still not a good day, and after fighting Mummy so much while feeding she decided she was just going to stick with the bottles. The doctor on duty also decided that the best thing for them was to observe me overnight, and give Mummy and Daddy a much needed rest!

Mummy and Daddy went home to get me some more clothes, and then came back to say good night. I got a good cuddle from Daddy and then they left to go out for dinner at David Lloyd. Rumour has it they talked about me a lot, but then after dinner they had a rare treat of going in the pool together and having a spa!

Today Mummy came in, and found me in the play room wooing all the nurses (and another Mum) with my winning smile!! I finally got some more sleep during the night, the pain was starting to go and I was feeling much better! Just seems like we needed to give the medication a little time to kick in.


We got to go home this afternoon, and it was good to be back! Lots of cuddles from Mummy and Daddy!

Daddy's home!

Yay, Daddy arrived back home on Friday night! Another successful trip for him. I was so excited to have him back that I didn't want to go to sleep! Ha ha. I just wanted to be close to Daddy, and eventually I ended up in the sling! And here Mummy was telling Daddy how good I had been all week (well, once the warm weather eased off!).

After the week of warm weather, it turned cold and wet this weekend. Brrr. Oh well, we got to do lots of indoor activities! Mummy has been giving me lots of tummy time, but I haven't been able to roll over again - it is quite tricky!

We did watch the French Open finals (Mummy is loving the new TV), but both finals were rather disappointing. Daddy is looking forward to watching Wimbledon next ... not too far away!

Daddy also went out and bought me a new top - I am sure I will look very funky in it! I am a lucky girl!

Mummy went back to swimming training tonight ... the first training session, in, oh, about 9 months! She said it felt good to be back swimming hard, but I think she will be feeling it tomorrow! I hope she will have enough energy to play with me!

More Tummy Time

Here I am playing on my mat! I am trying to roll over again, but not much success this time around!

I am now starting to enjoy playing with my toys too ...

Mummy was happy with me again today. Since it cooled off yesterday (and most importantly in my room too) I was able to sleep much better last night, and slept the whole night through (hoorah!) With a full nights' sleep under my belt (or should I say nappy??) I was soo much happier today. We also had a day at home, and I got time to play on my mat and generally have a good kick about!

Auntie Ellie popped over for a drink in the afternoon. I had a bit of a fit while Mummy was trying to feed me. We saw the baby doctor yesterday (the p-word is too difficult for a girl my age to spell) about my reflux, and he has given me some MORE medicine. I don't think it has started to work just yet, because I was still feeling very uncomfortable. Mummy thought Ellie look a bit uncomfortable at one stage, and although she is not due to go 'pop' for another week yet Mummy thought things might be starting! Arrgh. Lucky for Mummy it was just the baby kicking about! Phew, not panicked phone calls to Uncle Paul just yet!

We have been watching a bit of the tennis this week. Today we watched the women's semi final of the French Open, and I got to see fellow compatriot Sam Stosur. Unfortunately she lost, but Mummy said I should take some tips from her. I think Mummy is hoping to travel the world with me while I become a big tennis star!! Hehehe!

Daddy is home tomorrow -yipee!


PS. A few more photos had been added to Snapfish. Try the month 4 photo link again :)

Feeling hot, hot, hot!

Oh my golly gosh, oh what a night! Phew, not much sleep was had all round, it was sooo hot! The temperature in my room peaked at 28 deg C. How is a little girl supposed to keep herself cool!

Mummy pulled out the moses basket once more, and I started off in her room because it was cooler in there. Unfortunately I am getting to big for the moses basket, and kept waking myself up with my arms hitting the side. So then Mummy put me back in my room, but it was still too warm! After waking (again) at 3:15am for the second time, Mummy stripped me down to my nappy. But I STILL couldn't sleep ... eventually I dropped off again at about 5:45am and Mummy finally got back to bed ... but not for long, it got too much for me and I woke up again at 6:30am. Boy, were Mummy and I a grumpy pair that morning!! Mummy was certainly wishing Daddy was at home to help out!

I did at least get some sleep throughout the day though. Mummy met up with her friends at United Utilities, and we all went for a walk. I was a good girl and slept through the walk. I gave them all a few smiles though when we had a rest!

Later, Mummy made a much needed stop at Asda, and we now have a fan! Fingers crossed the sleeping conditions will be better for me tonight!
