Monday 21st January 2008

Well January has been very warm hasn't it. And very wet too. When we drove over to Harry's house on Thursday we saw lots of flooding, just like the summer when I was in hospital, and mummy and daddy had to virtually drive through rivers to visit me! Anyway, luckily it didn't stop Granny Judy coming down on Friday, and we packed up the car and went off to Centerparcs. Godmother Jenny's niece Lizzie and nephew Oli had told me how fab Centerparcs was, so I told mummy and daddy that I wanted to see for myself, so off we went. It was great fun by all accounts. I went swimming in the special baby and toddler pool. It was very shallow, so I could touch the bottom with my feet and push myself around in my rubber ring - almost like walking really! Look at me in my trendy yellow life jacket. Mummy put me in it, and then noticed it was for children over 15kg, whoops - I'm not quite that big yet, but I'm getting there. I was weighed on Friday and I'm a whopping 17lb 15oz. Just teetering on the brink of 18lb! That means a steady 6oz per week weight gain over the Christmas period - quite restrained don't you think? We also went for lots of long walks, so I had to wrap up warm in my Christmas poncho, which I got from Granny Meikle. It came in handy when we were playing Crazy Golf (won by daddy), to keep me warm and snug in my buggy. I did a clever thing while I was at Centerparcs. I finally rolled over all by myself. That's right. Mummy was getting my dinner ready last night, and when she checked on me, I was on my tummy! I didn't really know what to do then. I was sort of stuck with my arm underneath me, so I've decided not to do it again, and to try again in a few days. I know I can get my arm out from underneath me, as I've done it before, but rolling and then remembering to pull my arm out is a bit much to remember at the moment. Mummy says that I'll learn to multitask soon enough though, as that's what girls are good at.....
