Tuesday 14th October

Another hurdle crossed - I'm now 9 weeks old ! Today was dad's 1st day off, and after helping me & uncle Dave with the shower pump until about 2am last night, he was very tired indeed. He didn't wake up until after 11o'clock ! Then, a lady came to give us a special pump which we can use for my feeding. Dad tried to follow all the instructions but I think he may have got mixed up with the shower pump...
In the afternoon we had planned to go & visit Annie, Steve, Conor & Emily. Steve was going to make a delicious Thai chicken curry which Mum & Dad were looking forward to. They don't make Thai flavoured Cow & Gate, unfortunately....
Anyway, as it turned out, Annie & Steve seemed to be coming down with bad colds, so we had to be sensible and postpone our trip. Apart from the apnoea, the doctors all say that any infection I catch could be very dangerous for me....so it was for the best...

Wednesday 15th October

Lots of people have been visiting my website and most of them say it's a great idea. Welcome, by the way, new visitors from the Czech Republic and Mauritius ! So far 282 different visitors from 8 different countries.  Wow ! Maybe I should think about releasing a single for the Christmas Number 1 spot ?! Grandad says I have a good singing voice, but I just haven't learnt any words yet....
We couldn't get online last night to update my diary, something technical to do with wide rings and Aunty Elle. So, sorry if you were waiting for the latest news. Well, in actual fact, there hasn't been much....Today I discovered how to get my thumb inside my mouth and suck it. No big deal, I hear you say - but all the cameras came out and flashed away, so someone must've been impressed. Among the other headlines: Parents close to starvation but saved by 2 Haddock and some chipped potatoes.
I'm all right though, Dad stocked up on Cow & Gate again. Do you think we could get a sponsorship deal ?
I had been looking forward to going over to see Dave's Mum & Dad in the afternoon for some football coaching from Stuart & David Jnr. With all this exposure on the internet, the camera interest and a potential sponsorship deal, I could easily be the next David Beckham, with the right training. Check out my feet, above...and I've even got the hair for it! Sadly though, the lads weren't allowed out to play today. Maybe they missed a routine spelling test....
