Mummy and Daddy took me shopping this weekend to Ikea. Its such a huge place full of adults getting stressed out! I didn't much like the vibe in there so I was glad to get home. I also went to Mothercare and Mummy and Daddy bought me a few things with some gift vouchers that were given to me. I've now got a nice mobile for my cot and a really cool 'rainforest' playgym. Daddy calls it my jungle gym - not sure what the difference is between a rainforest and a jungle!? Its got lots of animals on it and plays music with colourful lights - its nice to have something different to do during the day and I think it'll be really helpful with my development.

Granny and Grandad came round to see me again this week - they come most weeks which is good for Mummy as it gives her a bit of a break and Grandad brings some yummy dinner round for Mummy and Daddy.

Mummy and Daddy think I'm sleeping a bit better these days - I'm a little more easier to settle at nights and usually go to sleep between 7.30-8.30. Mummy then feeds me before she goes to bed at 10.30ish and if it's a good night I'll only wake up once at about 3am and then not until 6.30/7am - I sit with Daddy in the mornings while he's having his breakfast so Mummy can get a bit more sleep. I think Mummy and Daddy are pleased with the way its all starting to get a bit better - I do sometimes tire them out though as I can still be a bit of a handful!

I've just got back from my summer holidays. Mummy and Daddy took me to stay with my Grandma and Grandpa in Bridgie, Somerset. I had a great time and enjoyed meeting Uncle Adrian, Auntie Nikki and my cousins Sophie and Josh for the first time. Josh was a cool dude and I hope when I grow up I'll be as cool as him! We spent one evening in their teepee in the garden which was good practice for when I go camping with Mummy and Daddy when I'm older!

It was Mummys birthday during our stay and Grandma and Grandpa took us to Burnham on Sea - my first trip to the seaside. The sea air must have done me good as I slept the whole time we were there! We also went to a classic car show and there were some lovely old cars. Everyone saw them except me as I was sleeping again - I think the countryside has a good effect on me and makes me nice and relaxed! Mummy wishes she could bottle the country air and use it on me when I get niggly at home!

I went to the doctor for my 2 month check-up and immunisations. He checked my eyes, my ears and my boy bits and he also let mummy listen to my heartbeat with the stethsoscope. She was surprised that it was so fast like I'd just run a marathon! The doctor said all young babies have a fast heartbeat and that it was normal. I've also got a swollen belly button that looks like there's a malteser stuck underneath! He also said this was ok and that it would pop back in when I get older. He told mummy that I was fit and healthy and sent us off to the nurse for my injections. I was given one injection in each thigh and boy did it hurt! I had a bit of a scream but I don't think I was as bad as Mummy thought I'd be! I think the injections were for polio, diptheria and tetanus - I've got to have some more in 4 weeks time - it's not much fun being a baby when these horrible injections have to be done!

I was also weighed at the baby clinic this week and my weight is now 8lb 14oz! The health visitor was surprised that I'd put on so much in only 2 weeks, she said maybe Mummy's got lead in her milk!

Mummy and Daddy also took me to my first party this week - Paulies Patio Party! It was great fun and I met so many people. There were lots of lovely ladies who wanted to have a dance with me and as it was a tribute to Michael Jackson there were lots of MJ tunes to dance to. It's funny that I'm an MJ too! I was really well behaved at the party and I really enjoyed myself!

It's been a fairly quiet week this week. It was very rainy so Mummy and I have been staying dry and cosy at home.

I've had a few 'grizzley' nights this week and not settled very well at bedtime. Mummy and Daddy think that I'm definately suffering with colic - this means that I get alot of trapped wind which is very hard to get rid of and is very uncomfortable! Mummy and Daddy give me colic drops which sometimes help - but it's at it's worst when the evening is starting at around 6pm/7pm. Daddy calls it 'the witching hour' when I get my 'fangs' out and start screaming lots. I don't know what he means though because I haven't got any 'fangs' - not yet anyway! Anyway, I know that the screaming and crying can drive Mummy and Daddy crazy sometimes but if I try and give them a cute smile the next day all is usually forgiven!

I had another treat this week - I've now got a bouncy chair! It's extra special because it vibrates too which can be very relaxing. When I'm not ready for bed I sit in it whilst Mummy and Daddy have their dinner. I'm very lucky to have all these cool things - I wonder what treats I'll get next week?
