Tuesday 28th October

Well, it's actually 3am on Wednesday, Dad has informed me, but, as I haven't learnt to tell the time properly yet, we won't quibble. Anyway, I'm now 11 weeks old ! To celebrate this occasion, a lady called Sue came over in the morning, and took all my clothes off. I now weigh 4.25kgs, or 9lbs 6 ozs ! Dad says he reckons he's lost that amount just in the last 24 hours ! He's had a very poorly tummy, and I know how much that can hurt. I feel quite sorry for him actually - I haven't seen much of him, but I often hear the sound of running feet. Luckily for us, Grandad arrived quite early this morning which meant more cuddles for me, and Mum finally got some sleep. I'd thought ahead and made a long shopping list, so that we could replace the green bread in the fridge. Grandad did very  well...he was gone for ages, and he came back with loads of Cow & Gate, but none of my favourite nappies. We'll try again tomorrow, when Grandma & Doris get here...
Brigid called in to wash my hair and sponge me down before heading off to the Emerald Isle until Monday - I wished her a safe journey and asked her to bring me back some real Guinness. Then, Annie, Steve, Connor & Emily all came round in the afternoon, and they bought me some posh new Disney  dummies. ( I'm sucking on one now, while I dictate this to Dad, as it happens )...I had some great cuddles with them and they checked out my website. When Dad decided to get the fireworks out again, Steve & I wisely chose to stay  indoors....
