I can't believe it's nearly the end of October. That means that I am going to be 5 months old in a couple of weeks. And that means that I could start having solid food any time after that. How exciting. I'm very jealous of my friends Oscar, Harry and Isobel, as they are all tucking in to yummy food on top of their milk. But I'm still having fun. I saw Grandpa and both my grannies this week, plus great aunty Caroline and cousin Kelia ( my 1st cousin once removed to be precise!). That was great fun, but quite tiring , as it meant I missed my lunchtime sleep. I was also weighed yesterday. I was disappointed not to have reached 12lb, but I'm only 1 ounce less. That's right - I weigh 11lb 15oz now. I'm more than 5 times my birth weight, if I've got my maths right. Something exciting happened today. I had a bath in the
big grown up bath at the top of our house. I normally go into the big bathroom everyday with mummy and lie on the floor with my teddies, whilst she has her shower, but tonight I was allowed in the big bath myself. I splashed around and swam up and down the bath - with daddy's help, and played with my new bath toys that mummy bought for me. It was very exciting and I loved it. The little baby bath will now go back to Aunty Emma and Unlce Philip for their new babies. I'm very proud of myself, I didn't even have a bath until I was about 8 weeks old, so I'm very pleased to be in the big bath already. Sleeping through the night is also something
I did for the first time this week. It was on Thursday night. I was very tired from spending the day with Granny and Grandpa Meikle and seeing my friend Nia (that's her playing on my swing in the picture below). And when Mummy put me to bed after my late evening feed at 11pm, I didn't get up again until 7am. Mummy was very pleased with me, and she told me I had to do it again the following night, but I just couldn't manage it, and needed some milk at 5am, so I need to try
hard to stay asleep all night next week, so mummy and daddy aren't so tired. We've just booked 2 holidays, which is very exciting. We're off to Northumberland at the start of December, and I'll see some of my Great Aunties and Uncles, plus my other Great Granny too. Then we're going with Granny Judy to Centreparcs for a long weekend in January. Only in Wiltshire,
which isn't too far from home, but it should be fun. Both places have swimming pools, so I'm looking forward to practising my backstroke. My friend Isobel is a good swimmer. She goes swimming with her mummy Jayne every week, so I'll need to ask her for some tips! A busy week for me next week. I've got Buggyfit on Monday, and then seeing lots more new friends later in the week. 3 new girls infact - Farrah, Lucy and Sophie. Plus all my NCT mates. I can't wait!

Cutie in your hoodie! You'll think you've been reborn when you taste the delights of grown up food. Salmon and butternut squash in a bit of rice and milk - yummy yum! I hope you enjoy your buggy fit and I can't wait to start swimming too! I'm getting weighed on Wednesday morning so I'll report back on the latest gain soon. Take care sweetie xxx PS... am doing quite well with sleeping too, getting up around 6-6.30 on a regular basis, sweet dreams xxx
