On the move

Hey, look at me in my baby bouncer. 'Flouncy, bouncy, trouncy, pouncy, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun' says Tigger. I can move from side to side, round and round and up and down; it's great fun and I'm really beginning to learn what I can do!

I'm quite partial to moving backwards too. When I lye on my changing mat (or generally any slippy surface), I do a great job of shimmying backwards. Mummy and Daddy'll have to watch out soon as backwards will turn into forwards and then I'll be off! I'm also quite partial to lying on my tummy. My head has got quite strong now and I like peering around to see what's going on, as well as doing press-ups and bringing my knees up towards my sides. Keep your eyes peeled though, one thing leads to another and crawling here I come.

I had a jab in my leg this week. It was a half dose of the flu jab so that I don't get that nasty bug... the other half dose is in a few weeks, that, I am not looking forward to. But Mummy rubs my leg and kisses it all better.

Harriet and Gene are on top form. We said a big 'happy New Year' to each other this week. Harriet's still large - just how I like her and Gene's really getting tall (well, long!). We played for a while whilst our Mummies talked and talked and chatted and talked and chatted and talked some more. Time goes by very quickly when we're together. We'll all have to meet with Daddies n all soon, we've never managed to do this as when we'd arranged it last year, half of us were poorly ill. Hopefully soon, eh!

Stuart's getting better we thing, he's eating more and is now trying to muscle in on my grub! Just look how he's trying to take prime spot on Mummy's lap. He's such a softee, I can't help but pat him on the head!

This week Mummy's going to introduce different kinds of food to my diet. I like peas (petit pois actually), I'm not too keen on leek or scrambled egg (check out the 'egg on my face' - beautifully flicked by my own fair hands); prunes are yummy and so is fully loaded natural yogurt! I'm going to try mushrooms, couscous, sweetcorn and cheese. Not all in one go, silly; day by day - I can't wait!

I'm going to get weighed on Tuesday, so I'll update you on that one then... and I'm going to start swimming. Mummy's got a con flab (coffee appointment) on Monday afternoon with my friends Mummy's (Ellie and Little Harriet). Mummy's got my swimming trunks at the ready, perhaps I'll try a bit of breast stroke - Daddy likes that one!

Cheers!
