First sign!

As you know I've been taking Wee Man to baby sign language classes since he was a out 10 weeks old. He finally did his first sign last Friday - milk. Clever boy! He now signs milk the whole time he's having his milkies.

Buoyed by our success with milk I thought we'd try and sign mummy. The sign for this is tapping your head with your first 3 fingers. He watched me sign it a few times and raised his hand. I waited expectingly - and he hit me round the head. Hmmm - not quite right little chap.

On the mend

I went to the doctors again on Friday with Wee Man because he was getting worse not better. Doctor took a look and said he had tonsillitis. Poor thing. He was prescribed a second antibiotic to take alongside the first one.


The good news is that he's a lot better now. He still has a chesty cough but his breathing is a lot less crackly.

First swim

When we were at my sisters for the jubilee weekend we took Wee Man swimming. We weren't allowed to bring a camera into the pool so I took a photo of him all ready to go.

He cried a bit, quite a bit, when he first got into the pool. I think he expected it to be bath temperature so it was a bit cold for him. But we moved to the big pool and he settled down and quite enjoyed it. His cousins entertained him pretending to be sharks, and his meany uncle made me duck him under the water a couple of times. He was ok with it - not sure I was!

When we got out he cried - properly cried! The changing rooms were quite cold and I think he got a chill. He soon calmed down when he was warm and dry. He had a fab afternoon snooze after all that exercise!

Cool dude

Poorly sick

Wee Man has a chest infection and is on antibiotics :-( He gave me a cough about 4 week ago and it looks like I've given it back to him. Typically he got the man (or boy) version of it and isn't very well at all. His Gran and Grandad were in charge of him yesterday and after his nap he didn't look very well and his chest was sounding quite rattly so he was taken to the doctors. Thank you Gran and Grandad for excellent caring of our precious baby Xx

BIG ted

We went to visit my big brother and my sister in law today. We had a lovely crafting day, and then my other brother and family came over. It was lovely to see everyone.

My brother gave Wee Man his birthday present early. It wasn't wrapped so he got to play with it straight away. He loves it!
