11 weeks old

Thursday 10th April

We had a bank holiday this week, it was the Ching Ming festival (aka Grave sweeping) and it fell on daddy's birthday so he got the day off work, yeah!! Summer heat is finally here and we spent the day with Steve, Wijaya and Merry at the Marina Club on DB, it was very nice but very hot.

During the weekend we went shopping. We went up to Megabox to look at outdoor furniture and bbq's for daddy. That was interesting as we had to get the bus to the plaza, then the ferry to the island, then walk to the MTR, then 2 trains to Kowloon Bay, then walk through the shopping mall (obviously!!) then the free shuttle coach to the Megabox. By the time we had done all of that i was ready for my lunch again so we had to stop for lunch before we shopped and there was nothing we liked so we came home with a huge bag of sweeties for daddy!! Needless to say we got a taxi home - much quicker!!

On Sunday we went to daddy's office and went shopping for a holdall for daddy. He was flying out to London and wanted to take hand luggage to T5 - not sure why?! we had mexican for lunch and then went for a walk to find the airport bus stop and packed for daddy's trip.

So for the rest of the week it has been me and mummy. We had a chilling day on Monday, then we went to a new nurse on Tuesday to be weighed. I am now 12lbs and am 62.5 cms long!! Very impressive. We also signed up for massage classes which start next week, so watch this space!! I also scared mummy today by catapulting myself off the sofa when she was sitting right next to me - a very impressive trick, although I scared myself slightly as well, so had to be cuddled by mummy.

On Wednesday we went to the other island to meet Jan for lunch. We took the pushchair with us so walked to the ferry, then did lots of walking and shopping on the island (i got another grobag) and then we walked home. We were both shattered when we got home and i was in bed nice and early as was mummy (9 o'clock!!) I had 2 firsts today, one was putting my thumb properly in my mouth, although not for very long, was not entirely convinced. the second was the world record for number of clothing changes in one day - pyjamas until 7am feed, then another set, got dressed at 9 in my nice dress, needed to be changed before leaving home into trousers and top, then had to be changed in the restaurant into the spare sleepsuit mummy brought and then finally into my pyjamas at night - wow!!!

Well that was my week. Daddy is home tomorrow so looking forward to lots of cuddles and some nicer food than mummy cooks (pasta, pasta and pasta most nights!)
