Wales - but not Wales, Teeth at last and Weigh-ins

Hi Everyone,

Sorry it has been ages and ages since my last blog - I will try and remember everything that happened. BUT FIRST - after months of pain I HAVE A TOOTH - it is at the bottom in the front and I LOVE playing with it. It is really cool to put my tongue out like Dad does and play with the tooth - also, I like putting food in my mouth and running it along my tooth! The only bad news is that it took 3 nights of not much sleep to get there and that meant that me and mum had the cold I talked about last time for another week! - but I am very proud of my new tooth and mum is too - she is telling everyone, anyone would think it was her tooth! I think there is another one coming too!!!!!

Me and mum and dad went on holiday last week - apparently we were in wales, but it was very confusing cos it wasnt Naini and Taidi's house, although they were there for a bit - also, I saw my cousin Jane who lives in Newcastle and her boys - I have never met them before but they were very nice - I think mum has got a photo to put up. THe weird thing was that mum said when we were on our way to see them that my Great Uncle Rhys was there - but Uncle Rhys lives in Prestatyn with Aunty Jacky and Cousin Nia and I was sure we werent in Prestatyn...Then we get there and there are dogs and cows and sheep and cousin Jane and this man that looked like Taidi but was also my Great Uncle Rhys - it was very very confusing - I must have two of them - weird.

WE had a good time on holiday - we went for walks, dad took me swimming - I wasnt allowed to go in the hot tub with mum and dad though which I didnt think was fair.

This week, mum took me for a weigh-in - I am 30 weeks old now and I weighed 7.75kg (17lb 1 oz) which means I am on the 50th percentile - I was only on the 25th last time. Must be all the food I am eating.

I think I am close to crawling - I went somewhere were there were lots of other children yesterday (they were all bigger than me though) and I saw them walk and crawl - i want to do it - so I am practising hard.

Mum keeps kissing me lots and talking about a nursery - think it might have been where we were yesterday - but not sure =- will keep you all posted.

Phew, that was a long one -!


lots of love, Gwennie!

Sorrow and Sweetcorn

Hi everyone,

After the chaos of the week before, me and mum had a quiet week. We were both feeling a bit poorly, so we didnt do much except go to my friend Clem's house to play. Oh yes, and on Friday we met Dad for lunch and then they bought me a new toy - it makes lots of different noises when I hit it - it is great. As usual, on Saturday, we went swimming in the morning - but it was weird cos my pram seems to have changed - I was mainly asleep but there was definitely something different about it.

Dad dunked me AGAIN - I am getting used to it now, but sometimes he does it with no warning! Mum found out that the other little girl in my class is called Eva and has a Welsh mummy too!

Then we all went on a bus up to a pub and met some friends of dad and mum - Jo and Mark. Mum took some pics. Then we went home and watched England play Wales - I had all my welsh stuff on - but it didnt help and we lost and mum was very sad. I love watching rugby with mum, except when she shouts - I didnt like that.

Yesterday we went for a long walk and then some more friends came around - Ruth and Kevin. I was reading the newspaper with Kevin and having alot of fun. We all sat down and had dinner together that seemed to take mum ages to cook. I loved all the roast veg and a bit of pork - but I was too tired to eat the apple and yoghurt - in fact, I had to have a power nap before bath even!

I really really want my teeth to hurry up and come cos they really really hurt. Naini is coming later so maybe she will make it all better - ciau for now, Gwennie xxxxx

P.S. As you can see whilst Dad was peeling veg, I was playing with my new toy in my highchair - but I had to keep and eye on dad and watch that he was doing it right! xx

birthdays, cakes and more food

Hiya everyone,

Sorry it has been so long since my last update - we have been really busy!

First Nain turned up, then taidi, then Ted came with Aunty Vic and Uncle Owen - it was crazy!

I had lots of fun playing with them all, it was a nice change from just playing with mum - but it was v noisy.

Apparently, cousin Ted was 2 and mum baked him a cake and made it looks like a character out of one of his books - "Dinosaurs love underpants" - but guess what......she makes me eat parsnips, but I didnt get any of the cake and cousin Ted said it tasted nice - in fact I saw them all eating it.

I am sitting up well on my own now, but no other new tricks - I have been too busy!

I hear mention of Naini coming again next week and then a holiday - yippee!!

LOve Gwennie
