: : : Here is the news for May : : :

Wednesday 31st May
I've not really been part of the preparations for tomorrow's birthday celebrations, but I do hope I shall be allowed to have at least one go on the bouncy castle.

Tuesday 30th May
A sleepy grandma day. I have been cooed at lots today. Apparently it's all some kind of big joke. Being told that makes me laugh.

Monday 29th May
Sleep. Eat.

Sunday 28th May
I did a lot of kicking around on my mat today. There are planty of new things to look at and sometimes, when I can coordinate my hands I can bat them around.

In the afternoon I ventured outside for a while but it was a little bit too bright for me. I prefer things to be mostly a little bit dingy. My eyes are very new you see.

Saturday 27th May
Today I had a lovely time laughing because Dad was asking me what I needed the pockets in my suit for. It's not as if I have a wallet. Having said that, I will laugh at nearly anything these days.

Friday 26th May
I'm sorry to report that I did a whole lot of grumbling last night. Mostly for no good reason.

Thursday 25th May
I was up a lot in the night because I felt like there wasn't enough food to go around. Annoyingly I didn't eat most of it though, so I woke up nice and early for a largeish snack.

Wednesday 24th May
I've mostly been practicing my smiling and being placid today.

Tuesday 23rd May
Today I have been smiling at Peter a lot - he looks after me really nicely - sometimes if I am lucky he gets to have me on his knee. At tea time he held my hand and I smiled at him more than once.

Monday 22nd May
Sadly I had to go and have my injections today, which I wasn't expecting at all. I had one in each leg - which only served to add insult to injury. I was quite fed up with the whole affair. I'm sure it's for my own good though, so I didn't complain too much.

Sunday 21st May
Firstly - I am 2 months old today. Secondly, I missed ANOTHER treat because I was asleep. Everyone else went swimming. Except me. I had to sit in my seat and watch through my closed eyes.

Saturday 20th May
I Missed soft play when we went todaym because as usual I was asleep. I did get admired by all and sundry in the sweet shop though. Apparently I am adorable.

Friday 19th May
I have been asleep a lot today. Sometimes I get my nights and days mixed up. Today I slept a lot during the day - this is when I like to stay awake for most of the night.

Thursday 18th May
I have mostly been either smiling or asleep today.

Wednesday 17th May
I've been doing a lot more smiling today and have learnt that it's not only Dad blowing in my face that is funny. Plenty of other stuff is funny too. Mostly everything. Also - I have dimples.

Tuesday 16th May
I have been learning to smile today. Mostly I do it when Dad blows in my face. Hilarious joke.

Monday 15th May
Today I have mostly been learning to bat my bees and the other hanging down stuff on my playmat. It's easy once you get the hang of it. It has also brought to my attention the bunch of banana things on the end of my arms. I will call them "hands" for now.

Sunday 14th May
I met my other grandad today and he held me for a bit. I did him the honour of not being sick on him too. Not that I am ever really sick.

I also met my Aunti Lord and she was very nice to me too and didn't compare me to her dogs, which is always nice. Other than that it was business as usual. Sleep, sleep, sleep.

Saturday 13th May
Today we are having a tidying day because Grandad and Auntie Lord are coming tomorrow. Dad mopped the floor like a pirate while we all watching the incredibles.

Later on Dad and I made a rocket ship out of my bed and flew to the moon and to mars. Then we both fell asleep under the duvet and nearly gotboiled alive.

Friday 12th May
There will be no news today.

Thursday 11th May
Today I went to play at my friends house and as it was hot I tookall of myclothes off. There is something very comical about riding a tricycle in the nude.

Wednesday 10th May
I fell off my buggy board today because I was asleep. I was balanced a little bit precariously and I just nodded off. It was agreat surprise to me to wake up on the floor.

Tuesday 9th May
I did lots of smiles today. Dad helped me along by blowing into my face. Apparently he thinks that my response to this is very funny. It made me do several lovely little smiles which I guess is what he wanted.

Monday 8th May
I had a very long night last night. I did lots of grumbling and stayed awake for a very long time so that I could make up for being asleep during the day. I think I wore everyone out.

Sunday 7th May
I had important visitors today that had never ever met me before - it was Mama and Dada. They both oooed and aahhed over the right bits of me - hair, eyes, the usual oooh winners. I managed to spare them at least an hour of waking up time before I felt obliged to go back to sleep.

Saturday 6th May
Today has been all about the sleep.

Friday 5th May
Today I have been doing some fantastic lying down on my crunchy play matt. There are lots of things to bat around on it and today I have been batting them around. I have also done my fair share of sleeping and eating.

Thursday 4th May
Today I went to the park and it was very hot. THankfully I have a special kind of shade on my pushchair and if that fails there is always my special seat handle snake to hide behind.

Wednesday 3rd May
I did a lot of eating and burping today and not much else. I believe that I may have slept through some kind of treat.

Tuesday 2nd May
I watched the whole car washing incident fromthe warmth and safety of my car seat inside the car. While it looked like a lot of fun I'm sure that gently snoozing is more what i'm interested in at the moment.

Monday 1st May
We all went out on a special trip today and as usual I slept through the whole thing. I did do a lot of burping today which I very much enjoyed. Two burps at a time and then hiccups is what I usually allow myself.
