I had a lovely weekend, and I've been out and about like a busy bee this week too. On Monday I got all dressed up snug for buggyfit, as it was very chilly. My natty yellow outfit came from Auntie Emma. Grandpa came to see me on Tuesday, and my friend Isobel and her mummy Jayne came too, and we went for a lovely walk. Isobel was telling me all about how she goes swimming every week, so I thought I'd give it a go too. So mummy and I went to check out Abingdon leisure centre yesterday. They've got a speical pool for babies, so we had a bit of a paddle and a kick. Here's a picture of me in one of my swimming costumes. I'm tied down on a changing station to keep me safe when mummy was getting changed. I then spent the rest of the day with my friend Ava, who lives in Abingdon. I'm excited today as I'm getting together with Oscar - I'll have to decide what to wear to impress him. I keep telling mummy that my bum looks big in my fleecey nappies, but she keeps putting them on me! Gene's mummy isn't very well, so we won't be seeing him, but hopefully we can catch up soon to hear what he's been up to. Mummy and daddy are going to start giving me solid foods this weekend. That's right - I've started to show all the tell tale signs. I keep waking up in the night at about 3.30am, I'm sucking my hand like mad, and I'm getting very bored with milk - so I'm going to try some baby rice on Saturday, and then we'll see what happens. I shall be asking Oscar what his favourite foods are today - he's eating all sorts of excting things already, so I'm very jealous. I love spending time with mummy and daddy. I smile a lot at them, and we stick our tongues out at each other. I've also learned to show them I'm hungry by putting my hand towards my mouth. Daddy gives me a bath everynight, and mummy feeds me. I go to bed at about 7.45pm and then mummy and daddy wake me up to give me a little bit more food and change my nappy before they go to bed. It's a good routine, and I always sleep well, and fingers crossed I'll be able to sleep for a bit longer through the night with some baby rice in my tummy!
