Ten weeks

Where did ten weeks skip past so fast. Here I am back at the clinic for some more of those nasty jabs. This time my big sister Roxanne did the holding so Dad could look the other way when those needles went in. I gave my usual scream and then like last time calmed down pretty quickly. I managed to hit the 4.7kg mark on the clinic scale and Dad is thinking of signing me up for weight watchers as I am rapidly making up for lost time. I also paid my first visit to Dr Steve who gave me the twice over. He liked the sound of my heart and said I was cute and appeared to be advanced for my tender age. What can I say , I must have good genes. Dad is working on a video of me where I punch away at my activity centre. Coming to a screen near you soon.

Not Forgotten

 

 

Today Dad was at an event where they suddenly started talking about Mom. Seems like her influence in this town continues.

My very first Outing

If it’s Durban and one has visitors from over the seas then I guess first stop is uShaka Marine World. I had hardly got my sun bonnet on when I was accosted by this strange furry creature who tried to kiss me with his ridiculous beak thingie. I was not too impressed but kept calm and didn’t cry once. We then took in the dolphin show and all the various types of fishes big and small. By the time I got home I was ready for my bottle and a bath. All in all a successful  first outing at the tender age of seven weeks.

Chow Time

This is the building where my mom used to work. She was one of the original staff members who helped build up the newspaper to what it is today. Dad went to visit there (left me with Roxanne) last week to sort out some paperwork. What he didn’t expect was the very generous offer of the company to supply me with a years worth of formula. Of course what goes in must come out and they have added a years supply of nappies to the deal. Ain’t that neat! On behalf of Mom many thanks to Ansoinette, Lorna, Valene and all the staff at Express Media. I will visit soon to show off my newly expanded girth thanks to them. (oh yes and I’ll bring a spare nappy or two just in case)
