Wednesday 14th November 2007

Well, I'm 5 months and 5 days old today believe it or not, and I celebrated by seeing my great pal Isobel for coffee and milk (coffee for mummy and milk for us). Unfortunately I managed to sleep through most of it! That's because I'm feeling a little under the weather. Daddy brought home a nasty cold from work, and mummy caught it off him, so I think I'm coming down with that too. Mummy's given me some calpol, and I've slept for most of the day - fingers crossed I'll still be able to sleep tonight. It means my weaning schedule has somewhat gone adrift already, as I don't really feel in the mood to try new things. I had some pear puree yesterday and today, but I prefer just to stick to breastfeeding whilst I'm feeling crock, and try some different things when I feel better. I hear my friend Isobel had broccoli and sweet potato for her lunch today, so I'm looking forward to trying some of that. I saw Auntie Shellie and Uncle Chris on Sunday - we went for lunch in Stratford. I'll see them again at Christmas, as they are coming to have Christmas dinner with us. I don't think I'll be quite ready for a full turkey dinner, but I may have a bit of carrot and a bit of swede or something like that, to celebrate the festivities. Mummy doesn't like carrots, but she's still made me some carrot puree - except that daddy had to put it in the blender for her, as mummy doesn't like the smell! Look at me in my fancy dungarees. Mummy's friend Ros bought them for me from Baby Gap. Guess what - they are 3-6 month age group! As I now weigh 13lb 6oz, I need bigger clothes, and particularly ones that fit round my big nappies. I'm a bit concerned that they make me look a bit podgey, especially as I'm seeing Oscar on Friday. Oh, well, I guess a diet of fruit and vegetable puree washed down with a bit of milk is about as healthy as it gets, so I shouldn't worry! I'm off to see grandpa and granny Meikle tomorrow if I feel well enough. I'll also see Tait the dog, who is feeling poorly at the moment too - get well soon Tait.

I love your dungarees, Harriet. If you have any spare time when you are in Solihull, it would be great to see you as we are now back home again.

Love from Phil and Will
