10Lbs……..

Had the midwife round today, weighed Butterbean, weighed 10 Lb 2 0z – over a pound up from her birth weight of 9lB 1oz . Well she has been eating for England so it’s good to see it’s gone somewhere – so much for breastfed babies losing weight first I know we shouldn’t care about these things, but it’s hard not to feel pleased.

She seems more settled that Stringbean was, she seems happy to go down to sleep, and mostly only wakes when she wants feeding and can be alert without constant entertainment! Once she has fed she’s mostly ok – occasionally makes a bit of a fuss in the early hours. She does seem to feed a lot from 3.30 am though, so Helen wasn’t that lively this morning. Butterbean spends most of her life on the sofa in the evening rather than the cot as Helen likes to have her around at the moment, rather than stuck up in the bedroom.

It’s been an out and about day for them, Was shown off to everyone at Tots club by Helen and Stringbean this afternoon – so acquired a few more presents, much to Stringbean’s excitement – she doesn’t care whose they are she just likes opening presents. It’s all those Ebay packages……..

In the morning she had gone to her Gym class at the sport centre. She’s been going along to these, and the previous ‘ baby gym’ class for ages, she’s pretty good and loves climbing, swinging etc. There was a bit more DIY when she helped me drill some holes in the nappy rack for a top. Distracted by the arrival home of the neighbour Molly, so of course she wanted to go and visit, one of her favourite activities. I think she likes it that she can go over there by herself..

When not sawing she’s drilling……
