The Life & Times of L J D

A quick test of the midichlorian levels and we're off...

51 days old (7 weeks and two days) .....

and I now weigh 12lbs 4oz and have achieved the 75th centile for head measurements and weight, but my height has stayed along the 50th centile.

First Smile

One day over 6 weeks and I decided to smile at my parents. Though not as a result of my Daddy finding some backgrounds on his mobile phone camera!

At six weeks old I now weigh 11lb 4oz, but haven't yet lifted my head or smiled without wind assistance. I have moved further away from the 50th centile and am currently just a tad below half way to the 75th centile.

Nursery Mural

Here are some finished images that my Daddy has painted on my nursery wall as part of a mural

One month old

I'm one month old and I've started losing my dark birth hair. There is a hint of new hair which looks like it's blonde......

....and in the blue corner weighing in at ....

The Health Visitor called today to give Mummy and I a check up.

I'm one month old today and weigh in at 9lb 15oz. Apparently I'm taller and heavier than average at the moment, not only that my head is BIG!

Lap time to Nap time

Recently Daddy has started putting me in the buggy and walking me around the block a couple of times just before bedtime. Well tonight I was ready for him and didn't fall asleep as soon as we started moving. Not only that I stayed awake for the whole trip and once we returned to our home, I started squawking!

Cousin Laura & I

My Aunty Alison brought cousin Laura around again today. This time Laura got to have cuddles!

Sweat Rash

Not just happy with a little rash from my nappy, a sweat rash developed around my face, neck and chest. Sometimes it's not so bad, other times it looks a bit angry. This is perfectly normal for a baby and appears from 2 to 6 weeks but it will go of it's own accord.

Cousin Abi & I

We had more visitors today when my cousin Abi arrived accompanied by her parents Uncle Gareth and another Aunty Alison.

I didn't have one of my good days today as I appear to be a bit windy, so I was awake most of the day either squawking or feeding. Much to my Mummy's annoyance I stopped when Daddy arrived home from work. To give my Mummy a little bit of a break Daddy took me out in the buggy and pushed me around the block a couple of times. That kept me quiet and by the time we'd gone one and a half times around the block I'd fallen asleep!

Aunty Leanne and I

My Aunty Leanne visited today, with her came "Uncle Lee" and my cousins Reece and Mackenzie. 'Kenzie kept kissing the top of my head with wet sloppy kisses.
