Trick or Treat!!!

It's that time of year again and mum decided to dress Alex up in my superman costume.

Alex obviously doesn't take the super hero business as seriously I did.

Ahhh.  Little Brothers.

Mum and dad think that we are almost twins but I really cant see the resemblance.

Can you? (my picture is this last one)

Hungry Hungry Hippo

Mum and dad thought that they'd discovered all the parks on our walking routes but they were wrong!


Today, we found the 'Hippo' park.


 

Guess what's its most distinguishing feature is?





A Hippo where you can climb in its mouth and pop up at its back.








Also inside is key organs are pictured and named in French, English and Spanish.

Breakfast With Dad

 

Today we decided to let mum have a half hour lye in.

However, as we were hungry we decided to make some toast with strawberry jam on top for breakfast.

 Mmmmmm.  I like toast for breakfast.

Can you tell?

Weighed and Measured

We decided to take Alexander to the midwives for his 2 month check which included being weighed and measured.

Alexander is now 59 cm (1ft 11in) and weights 5.94 kg (13lbs 2oz).  That's 50% in length and 70% weight.

The midwife kindly agreed to weight and measure me.  I'm too big to lie down so I sat in the bowl.  It was awfully cold on the metal but I could see the scale and it read 10.68 kg (23lbs 8oz).  That's about 70%.

As I'm too tall for the baby chart I got to use the wall chart.  I had to stand on the feet prints and then the midwife lowered the leveller to rest on my head.  It read 77 cm (2ft 6in) which is about 40%.

It looks like Alexander is following my example.
