I’m clever! I’m clever! I’m very very clever! I have a super-brain! *grin* Ok, ok -- you don’t know what I’m talking about!

I’m only a month old and already I can feed myself and hold my dummy in my mouth! Also, if Mummy or Daddy want me to hold something for them, I can. See … c-l-e-v-e-r!! Don’t believe me?? Here’s the evidence………! :-p

I’ve had a virus

Mummy noticed something was up on Thursday because I started being sick quite a lot after my feeds and wasn’t able to sleep as well as I have been doing up till now. I also developed a bit of a cough and been a bit sniffly. It’s not nice at all. Mummy took me down the doctors on Friday and the doctor said I had a bit of a virus but am not too bad. He told Mummy to keep an eye on me over the weekend and make sure I have plenty of wet nappies so I’m not dehydrated and hopefully I’ll get better without any medication. I must remember to wee a lot then!

I didn’t like being examined by the doctor. I was sleeping nicely until Mummy pulled my trousers down for the doctor to poke my belly and feel my chest with a cold stethoscope. He also stuck a funny beeping thing in my ear to check my temperature (which was a little high – oops!) I decided to start screaming – that showed them! Once Mummy put my clothes back on and cuddled me, I was ok!

Daddy was working in London when I was ill, so I missed his cuddles I was looked after by Mummy and Nana and had plenty of cuddles from them!

Fyi, I’m a lot better now – just in time for Christmas!

I love milk! I drink it every three hours, but I need someone to help me drink it! I’m still only little, you see? *giggle* Poor Mummy is trying to keep up with me! She is still feeding me exclusively on breast milk so she’s having to express milk every couple of hours. She’s doing well keeping up with my demands – I’m impressed!

Baths -- what can I say about baths? I don’t like getting wet, but I think I’m getting used to it. It’s actually quite nice when the water is warm.

I had a bath in hospital and I screamed all the way through. I had another two baths at home where I screamed but on bath number four I decided to give it a chance and I suppose I quite enjoyed it! Maybe when I get older I’ll splash and splash and flood the room!! *grin*

Here are some photos of me enjoying the bath for the first time!

Here is a video clip Daddy took after I had my bath. Don’t I look cute all wrapped up in my towel?!

I’m now officially and legally Corey William Robert Wilks! Mummy and Daddy took me to the register office today and registered my birth. It wasn’t easy for them to get me ready to go and I made them about 10-15mins late for their appointment *giggles mischievously*.

I was due a feed before we went so I gobbled up all my food, then Daddy changed my nappy and got me dressed. As we were about to go I … wait for it … yep, filled my nappy!! Hahaha!! Well, when you gotta go, you gotta go, eh?!

I was a good boy after that though, I slept all the way through the appointment and I even slept another couple of hours so Mummy and Daddy could have a meal in The Crossways – see I’m a good boy really!
