Bbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrr

We are in the last month of the year and it is no longer just cold but bitterly cold.  It's been 1 or 2 degrees during the day and in the minus' at night; getting progressively colder as the week continues.

Snow has fallen all over the country and we even had it here in London (although it didn't settle on the ground in our backyard). This is highly unusual and there are now predications for the coldest (and the longest) winter on record.

To mark the change of month and weather I got a cold (mum took me to the doctors who confirmed it was bronchitis).  This meant no medicines as it's viral and just needs to be monitored so it doesn't get any worse.

Whooohhooooo! My first cold!!!

Mum cancelled all our play dates and classes for the week. This has meant that we've been housebound; in particular in the very warm lounge room.

I'm getting alittle bored but on the plus side (well for me), I've learnt to cough.  ;)

See Saw

Mum has been taking Aunty Paula's advice and looking on ebay (and other sites) for the best toys for me.

She got a small swing.

Dad put me in it and it was fantastic. 

It made me giggle.

My Home Boys/Girls

Every Friday mum and I catch up with the gang. 

It's an exclusive club; only 4 of us (plus our mums). 

Clockwise we have Elsie, me, Sophie and Sebastian. 

I swear I thought I saw a puddy cat.   I did, I did. 

Now, Sebastian.  Build those muscles.  1 and 2 and 3 .... 

A scream can be heard - "Mr Bug is attacking Elsie!"

Mild mannered Zachary responds "I'll rescue you, Elsie!" 
(Now where did my super baby suit go?)

Newborn to Infancy

I have officially graduated from being a 'newborn' to an 'infant' so mum and dad decided to let me have a big boy bed (aka cot) rather than the baby basket.

That's right, I now have room to move. 

I haven't begun to roll around yet but I might try in a month or so.  Right now, I'm content with just lying in the vast spaciousness.

Aaaaahhhhhhhhh.  Well, actually, it is more like ZZZZzzzzZZZZzzzz.

BOOOOOO Ohhhhoooohhhooo!!!

Its Halloween and I've decided to get into the spirit (get it?!).

I'm a bit young to go trick or treating so I've decided to put on a Super Baby costume.

Up, up and awayyyyyyyyyyy!

What do you think?

Vital Statistics

Today I took Grandma to visit the health workers. 

I jumped on the scales and found out that I'm a healthy 5.65 kg (12.5 lb). 

Not only that but I decided to check my height as some of my clothes are pretty snug.  I'm approx 62 cm (24.5 inches) long.

When we looked at my growth history we discovered that I've gained approx 3-4 cm (approx 1 1/2 inches) and 1 kg (2 lb) a month; give or take a bit.

Mmmmmmm, I do like my food.  ;)

Lazy Mornings

Since my grandparents arrived we've been having very lazy mornings and sometimes days.

These have been captured so there's no dening it.
