: : : Here is the news for August : : ::

Thursday 31st August
We visited Grandad again today and this time I heard Dad playing the bagpipes which surprised me a great deal. He played some sort of nursery rhyme.

Wednesday 30th August
I have been making friends with Grandad. He is particularly keen on cuddling me.

Tuesday 29th August
Another day when I start off in one place, shut my eyes for a mere few hours and then wake up somewhere else. It's like magic.

Monday 28th August
There is no news today.

Sunday 27th August
I spent most of today in my pushchair. I did have some people to play with though. Dad, Mum and Grandma took turns in gurgling at me and saying hello to me. It was far too windy for me on the beach.

Saturday 26th August
I got washed in the tent this evening. I had to sit in the washing up bowl. I deliberately kicked my legs very hard and soaked the tent. I was removed from the water very quickly.

Friday 25th August
We went to another beach today but I slept through the whole thing. Dad read his book.

Thursday 24th August
I was admired my an old couple on the beach today. They made all kinds of funny noises at me. I humoured them by laughing a lot.

Wednesday 23rd August
There is twoing and froing and things being packed in the car. Then it's raining and I sleep. When I wake up we are somewhere else and in a tent. CAMPING. I don't know what it means, but it probably means that Mum and Dad have to work twice as hard as usual.

Tuesday 22nd August
I went on a really long walk today. It was so long and so up hill that it was lucky that I got carried for all of the way. When I got there it was a picnic. As usual I was too small to eat any of the delicious food. I had to lie on a rug and look at the shiny sky.

Monday 21st August
Today we went for a visit to Grandad's house. He held on to me for ages and spent some time smelling my hair. I did an eye bulging burp for him as a reward. Then I fell asleep.

Sunday 20th August
I have been greatly admired by grandma today. Everything seems to be one big joke to her. The pushchair seems to be my new home as my bouncer got left behind. I have been using it to sit up and have a look around in.

Saturday 19th August
I slept nearly all the way to grandmas house - except for the times when I was smiling at the world in general. I only started getting grouchy when we were driving up grandma's drive. I flashed my dimples at her as soon as we arrived to great effect.

Friday 18th August
I am so nearly 5 months old.

We are off to see Grandma tomorrow. I think this may mean another long journey by car. I am fairly stoic when it comes to these things though.

Thursday 17th August
I have discovered my parents plan to go camping at the weekend. I'm not entirely sure what this actually entails but I believe I will have to forgo most of my comforts.

Wednesday 16th August
Today I have been the best behaved of all the people that live in my house. *I* have not been arguing with anyone.

Tuesday 15th August
I thought it timely to inform you all that I have two lovely dimples in my cheeks that make my smile extra smart.

Monday 14th August
Today we did not do very much. We are all still recovering from our long journey home. I did least of all as I can't properly move around the place so mostly I just lay around the place looking nice and smiley.

Sunday 13th August
We didn't do very much today because of all the resting that everyone seems very keen to do. I did a lot of gurgling and lying on my back holding my toes.

Saturday 12th August
It's nice to see Dad properly - I've not seen him to cuddle for a long time - almost a whole week in fact. But he was here waiting for me when I got home. I gave him one of my special smiles.

Friday 11th August
Today I was baptised and someone splashed water on me. Dad wasn't there so Peter helped out instead. I was as good as gold and didn't even mind one little bit.

Thursday 10th August
No news today.

Wednesday 9th August
Today I slept through most things. A[[arently there was a beach which was a bit blowy for me so I got tucked up in my pushchair. There was a sealm a cafe a beach an uncle and a cousin. All of which were slept through.

Tuesday 8th August
Today I got looked after by Mark and Dada. They both did a very good job. They looked at me and smiled in the correct manner.

Monday 7th August
Everyone else went to the beach where apparently it was very cold. I stayed in the relative warmth of the car and talked to mama for several hours.

Sunday 6th August
Oh wait! I was in the car for a very long time - sometimes awake and smiling and sometimes asleep and now there are different walls to look at. I really have no idea where I am.

Saturday 5th August
Today has been a very quiet day for me. I spent a lot of it smiling and gurgling at various people.

Friday 4th August
Today I talked to Dad on the phone for the first time ever. He made encouraging sort of sounds and I burbled at him for a few minutes. All in all it was very entertaining.

Thursday 3rnd August
We went to a sunny park today and all my comforting items were forgotten. I was heartbroken (of course). I did calm down after our return home though.

Wednesday 2nd August
There is no news today - I was asleep.

Tuesday 1st August
I had to go to the health centre today for an undisclosed reason. When I got there I found out that I was there to have INJECTIONS. I had two of them, each worse than the last, one in each leg. I was not happy about the whole incident.
