What a CUTIE!!! So, to continue on telling you what has happened in your 11th week...... You went for your 2nd swimming lesson on Monday and you actually swam underwater!!! George (your teacher) 'pushed' (!) you right under in a sweeping motion and you came up to face Mummy with a sort of 'non plus' expression of 'what happened there'!! All three of you little boys had different responses! Seth spluttered and coughed, Joshua sadly cried but you just looked dumbstruck!! Mummy is pretty scared about knowing that she has to help you swim underwater next week! Wednesday was another baby massage which you didn't altogether enjoy this week, mainly because Alexandria cried a lot, which set you off too! You also peeeed on Mummy's top when she leant over you to give you a kiss!! You then went to see all the guys at UHS and followed this with a trip to the Dr's to get your second immunisations. Puse purple is a good description for the colour of your face after the jabs!! Thursday saw you going to your very first birthday party - Katie was 1yrs - at Chocadores cafe. Elaine, Mummy's midwife was there, but she didn't get to give you a cuddle as you slept through the entire party in your buggy!! :-) The party must have worn you out as you then made Mummy the happiest Mummy on earth by sleeping from 7pm to 6am!!!!! That's 11hrs!!!! We hope this is a picture of the future!! But is probably a fluke for now!
Dear Daniel, this photo is for your Cool Fun Aunt Julia who is still sunning herself in Togo!! Daddy is a bit mean to Daisy!! He spent WAY too much time trying to get her to balance the penguin on her head!!! Hopefully it will give Auntie Julia a big :-) !! Only 3wks til we see Auntie Julia :-) yey!!
Dear Daniel, today you and Mummy went to your first ever swimming lesson!!! Look at these trendy swimming trunks you have! You're not allowed in the pool without these special ones which are very snug around the waist and legs!! Daddy wasn't sure you'd like swimming, but thankfully for Mummy, you loved it! Your teacher is friendly George and he has lots of brightly coloured animals to grab your attention. Today we learned the words 'kick kick kick', 'hold on', 'Daniel Swim'. Your class mates are Seth with his Mummy Liz and Joshua with his Mummy Olga. We swim at a private school's bath, Mylnhurst School in Millhouses - its lovely and the water is 32C lovely and warm!! Next week you get to learn how to swim under water!!
Dear Daniel, this week has been an exciting week in that we have now 'sold' your first little home! When you are old enough to read this, it'll be interesting to know if buying and selling a house in England has been changed for the better or not! Currently its a crazy system that is fraught with excitements and disappointments at any stage of the game. At the time of writing, we have a buyer for your first home and an accepted offer on what we hope will be your second and longer term home just a few streets away. Sadly, until we have the keys in our hand, one can never be certain that its all going to go ahead. Mummy and Daddy feel sure that God is in control and so are putting their faith and trust in Him for everything that hopefully will happen in the next few weeks. It's difficult not to get excited though, as you can see from this pickie!
