The Visitors

Hello everybody,

Well I had a brief stint in hospital. I had a high temperature and wasn't in the mood for food so the nice doctors and nurses in Crumlin looked after me for a few days. It was very comfortable although I don't think Mummy got too much sleep. Thankfully it turned out to be a virus and nothing serious so I am back at home now with Daddy and my big Sis.

I love sitting up now in my bouncy chair. I can look around and see what's goin' on!

My Auntie Baibre visited me all the way from Amsterdam. She helped out Mummy as it was Daddy's first week back at work since I was born.

Bella came to visit me too and she had knitted me a loverly warm cosy wooly blanket. It is helping me keep warm in these cold wintery days.

Bella's mum Ev popped in at the same time and gave me lots of hugs.

The Boyz (aka Tim, Jack and Neil) called in too. They are all so old now!

Uncle Paul from France, and Uncle Alan from London called over after I got out of hospital and brought me up to date on my cousins around the world.

I keep threatening to smile....any day now...

28 Days Later

Well actually it's exactly a month since I was born but I am sticking to theme here with my Blog titles! It's been a busy month. I am doing really well and I now weigh 10 and a half pounds. I am spending more of the time awake and looking around during the day which is proving to be great fun!

I am getting used to this camera thing. Now that I can focus a bit better I have started peering into the mesmerising lens!

This picture was taken just before some of my hair at the top of head starting falling off! I now have a bald patch!

Everyone seems to get very excited whenever I have a bit of wind. I think that they think that I think that I am trying to smile, but no, it's just wind for now. I will hold off on smiling for another week or two.

It was nice that we got some good weather for a change! I we all went for a lovely walk down the pier one day. It was great to get a blast of sea air!

My sister now spends most of the time trying to give me hugs and kisses. She is very sweet.

When I lie on Daddy's chest I listen to his heart and drift off to sleep.

Daddy loves to give me big kisses.

Mummy is trying to teach me 'clap handies' but I can't quite get to grips with it just yet.

My favourite time of the day is when I go for my bath in the afternoon. It's lovely and warm.
