I was born just before Christmas last year at The Princess Royal Hospital, in Haywards Heath, West Sussex. Mummy, Daddy and Max were living in Horsham then but we moved to Canterbury in Kent when I was nearly three months old.
For the first three weeks I was home I didn’t like sleeping at night time at all, and liked Mummy and Daddy to stay up with me all night to keep me company. Eventually I began to learn that night time is for sleeping and day time is for playing, and now I am very good at going to bed on time and sleeping until it’s time to get up in the morning. I still sleep in Mummy and Daddy’s room but I am looking forward to moving into my own bedroom when I am six months old.
I didn’t really go out until the end of January, but since then I have visited my Daddy’s family in Canterbury and my Mummy’s family in Chichester. I have also been to Birmingham for an exhibition (my longest journey yet!), Weybridge to visit my Mummy’s friends at work and today I went to the seaside for the first time in Whitstable.
Max the Cat took a long time to make friends with me, but now he comes and sits next to me when I am having my milk. I think it is so he can protect me and I can stroke him, but Mummy and Daddy think he is just after the milk! For some reason he doesn’t seem to like it when I grab his tail though…
Recently I have started to make new friends at my childminder Mary’s house, where I go three days a week while Mummy is at work. She doesn’t live very far away and I am enjoying it so far, even though I am the youngest one there.
Next month I will be Christened at St Stephens Church in Canterbury - Mummy and Daddy will be sending out the invitations soon - and I am looking forward to meeting lots of new people then.
Please look out for my next post at the end of May, when Daddy uploads my latest photos and I can tell you about everything we have done this month.
