Bug... ...urrrr!

Deary me, I've been a bit ill over the last couple of days. I caught a tummy bug from my girlfriend... we only held hands! I'm feeling a bit better now though after getting lots of sleep... my appetite will hopefully return soon, I don't want to waste away!

There's been a few things going on this week, I've seen lots of family and friends. Mummy took me on an epic walk up to the local garden centre shop - about 2 miles away. She had lunch with her friends and I dined with mine, then we walked all the way back again... down the BIG hill that we'd climbed up - correction, that Mummy had climbed up. We saw some little piggies on the way - they were naughty, they'd dug a hole under their fence and were trotting all over the road and the grass verge, I think their Mummy was snorting at them to behave.

I love family dinners. On Saturday we went to Gt Aunty Janices and saw everyone. I get soooo much attention AND got some trifle, yep, fully loaded custard and cream, I couldn't get enough!

Sunday was a favourite day. For the very first time since we've all been out of hospital, Harriet and Gene's Mummy and Daddy, me and mine, got together and had a lovely lunch at our local pub. We spent all day together (this is when I caught that bug... urrr... from Harriet - but I'm sure she didn't mean to give it to me). We chatted and played and were very well behaved all day. Then I had a bath and went to bed - exhausted! Look at Gene on his stripey blanket, he's my best mate... and Harriet and I sat on my Mummy's knee.

I saw the health visitor last week, she was checking my development. You see, I'm now 9 1/2 months old, but should only be 6 months old... I'm doing all the right physical things that I should be for 6 months, in fact I'm a bit stronger than a lot of babies that were born at the right time. I'm doing well with my observation and handling. I'm also doing well with speech - I'm not saying supacalafradalisticexpialidoshus yet but I'm doing a few la's and ba's! I'm 15lbs 12ozs or was then anyway, am probably about the same now due to being poorly. What else... well I'm very good at holding my own weight when standing up and can nearly sit up... I like riding my bike the most!

This week I'll be helping Mummy and Daddy with our other house, trying to get it finished for the summer - June 19th - Mummy's birthday! I'm also keeping an eye on my birthday plans - I'll be a bit fat '1' on April 30th! Grandpa Barry and Grannie Annie should be visiting this weekend, but I shouldn't get my hopes up just incase they can't. I'll be going on a long walk again too and will be doing lots of sit ups and bounces to get that 6-pack sorted out! Daddy's got a 4-pack, he keeps his in the fridge!

  1. Hi Oscar,

    I feel terrible about giving you my tummy bug. I think it was cos I used your change mat. Mummy did spray disinfectant stuff on it when she changed me, but maybe daddy didn't... whoops. Anyway I hope you're feeling better now. I felt rubbish on Monday, and was even nearly sick in mummy's face. Mummy said my nappy smelt like rancid cauliflower - yuck! But I'm feeling better now, thank goodness, and ate my normal meals today. I've been living on plain banana and mashed potato for the last 3 days, so it was good to have some cottage pie and veggies. Big kiss and I'll see you soon.

    Love

    Harriet xx
