: : : Here is the news for February : : :

Wednesday 28th February
Today I am not feeling very well AGAIN. I think I might be getting a new tooth or two.

Tuesday 27th February
Another morning of having Mum to myself. Only this time I was a little bit grumbly. Endearing, but grumbly.

Monday 26th February
Thank goodness that everyone except me went back to school today. I had Mum to myself for the morning for the first itme in about a month. I spent the time being jolly an smiling a lot.

I have also been poking my teeth a bit. I think there might be a new one coming through.

I was evry pleased to see Dad when he came home from work today. He gave me lots of cuddles and I let him blow raspberries on my cheeks and grumble in my ear.

Sunday 25th February
We went to Hatton ountry world of extortion today and Dad made me dance to abba. Admittedly he did know all the words, as did the man next to him, but they wouldn't admit it. After a while I got fed up with the whole thing and fell asleep.

Saturday 24th February
I am very ill again today and very snotty.

Friday 23rd February
Move along now. I'm still ill and it looks as if I am geting new teeth. That will be nice.

Thursday 22nd February
No news here.

Wednesday 21st February
It hardly seems fair but I am STILL ill today and so are both of my brothers. Peter says he has hot eyes.

Tuesday 20th February
There is no news today because I am very sad and ill.

Monday 19th February
My illness has officially returned. As has Peter and Andrew's illnesses, Peter was so ill that even his eyes were hot.

Sunday 18th February
There has been much grouchiness today because I have had a temperature and my cold is coming back. We also had our visitor who turned up for breakfast at 11.30 or thereabouts. That counts as lunchtime in my book.

Saturday 17th February
Today we had brand new neverbefore seen visitors. I had competition because there was a baby visitor. We ran equal first in cuteness, but edged ahead in crawling.

Friday 16th February
There is no news today.

Thursday 15th February
Today there was a very special treat because we met Dad in town for some lunch. I say lunch but it was mostly just biscuits and drinks. I sat in my pushchair and giggled at him a lot. He let me play with the buttons on his trousers which was very nice of him.

Wednesday 14th February
Today I woke up very very early and jumped around in my ot and grumbled a lot. No one was pleased.

Tuesday 13th February
There is no news today.

Monday 12th February
Today I went on a train and a bus but mostly I had to stay in my pushchair because we were in a museum and they don't allow crawling babies in museums.

Later on I practiced my waving. I did a lot of waving when Dad came home because I know that he likes to wave at me a lot.

Sunday 11th February
Today we went for a very long walk around the park. I was supposed to be having my nap but it was very cold indeed. Instead I stared out happily at the world and laughed when Dad poken his head into the pushchair.

Saturday 10th February
Andrew told me a lovely story today about a film where there was a scarecrow who didn'thave any brains, a tin man who didn't have a heart and a lion who had lost his luggage. It sounded like a very nice story.

Friday 9th February
There was strangeness this morning because Dad had shaved his beard off in the night and I almost didn't recognise him. Peter thought it was funny and Andrew nearly cried "stick it on again WITH GLUE". I merely stroked the place where his beard used to be.

Later on Mum painted a beard onto her face and onto Peter's and mine with brown paint. it was very funny.

Thursday 8th February
Today was very exciting because there was a LOT of snow outside. I have seen snow before but never as much as this. We even built a rudimentary MAN out of the SNOW. He is wearing one of Dad's best wooly hats. I'm sure Dad won't mind though.

Wednesday 7th February
I am still ill today but I did have my first ever haircut. It was very confusing because I was wanting to always be lookingat what Mum was doing which was probably quite annoying as everytime I looked at her she had to quickly move her scissors out of the way. I think she got about half the job done.

Tuesday 6th February
I have gone back from not having a cough to having a cough AND being sick today. It has not been much fun.

Monday 5th February
I am feeling very ill today and I did not get any sleep last night.

Sunday 4th February
I had another really bad night last night with lots and lots of coughing and being awake. Luckily Mum was there to look after me.

After some faffing about we went out in the afternoon to a very hilly bumpy place where Dad was forced to push me up hill and down dale in very muddy conditions without the aid of a proper all terrain pushchair. He and I were very disappointed by this.

Saturday 3rd February
I am still very ill and have had very little sleep. I keep coughing and choking and I don't like it very much.

Friday 2nd February
I am very ill today.

Thursday 1st February
I still have a cold and I am still very hot. Mum has not been allowed to put me down for most of the day because when she does it makes me very sad indeed. It is much nicer to be carried around when you are ill.
