THREE injections!!!

Yes thats right, Hollie has had THREE injections today, 2 in one leg and the third in the other. This was her last lot for a while which I am very pleased about. They were the third lot so far and each time I have got progressively worse about them. The first time I was very able to just think 'its the best thing for her, no pain no gain... etc,' but I have crumbled and today had to have Pete there with me to hold my hand. And after all that the little madam only gave us a little whimper and Pete just gave me a look as if to say 'and you needed me here for this?!?!?!' But really I am pleased that she is ok and now she is fast asleep after a feed as soon as we got in.
And on a different note, howbad is the weather today??? I have just had my tesco delivery and it poured, it was like a monsoon! Of corse as soon as the poor guy left it eased up so he will go to his next delivery where he will be able to park right next to the front door and wish he had done it the other way round! But now I have a kitchen and hallway floor to clean due to wet boots...

Messed around by the heat...

This warm weather is wonderful of corse! We went for a picnic with Granny, Grandpa and Oscar on monday and its great for me and Pete to just chill in the evenings. However, it does mess Hollie's sleeping and feeding around somewhat! Shes really thirsty all the time which is fine but she cant get a drink quick enough and doesnt always appreciate that it takes time for the milk to come down! I think im going to try her on a trainer cup with a little water to solve that one. But mostly it has affected her sleep as she is either too hot, or too cold if I over compensate for the heat. We really need a vest that has detachabale sleeves and legs so I can add them later when it gets cooler without waking her. So theres a money making thing!
But all in all the weather is lovely and I hope others are enjoying it too maybe with a glass or two of wine...

The beginning- 4 months on

I have decided to start a blog all about baby Hollie as I obviously have much more sense than time on my hands! But really I want people who know her but who live far away (most of my family) to be able to follow her progress and life more closely. Please feel free to post comments or posts so that it can be interactive.

As im writing this Pete is sat on the other sofa cuddling Hollie and holding her upright on her legs (her new favourite thing) and counting how long she can stay up for (top right pic). He is very ambitious and wants her to be the youngest baby ever to walk!

Anyway... Hollie is now 4 months old and has gone from a tiny lump of gorgeous baby to a mega cuddly interactive mini human (but still a baby of corse!). She is still purely breastmilk and doing v well on it- definately not the tiny baby I thought I was going to have! She can fully hold her head up and has started to roll onto her side but not quite making it to her tummy yet. She has loved her sleep from the start which has been a bit of a godsend! Last week I bought her a bumbo (in the top left pic) which is a kind of seat thing which she can sit up in to get a bit of a different prospective of the world!

She keeps changing every week and ill keep you updated on all these changes and other things that we get up to in our busy lives so watch this space!
