Hello World!

Catching Up...

This diary is being written by my mummy Pachita for all the people who love me who are far away and want to know how life is going.

She says she will use this blog to write down all the important things that are happening in my life, with lots of photos. Maybe when i learn how to read I will have a look at this one day...

So in this post she will tell you what's happened so far:

• I was born May 29th, after a 36hr labour (she says it hurt but i was worth it). I ended up coming to the world via Caesarean section as I was facing the wrong way to be born naturally (naughty me!)


• She says that to stop herself from being nervous, her and daddy sang Bob Marley songs while I was coming out into the world. "Three Little Birds" was a favourite. She also sang this a lot to me when i was in her tummy.


• When i first came out I was 3.4kg and I looked so much like my tia Pauly. Mummy says that's because she wasn't here to meet me in person, and through me she made herself present.


• I drank breast milk from a bottle for about 3 and 1/2 weeks (she says it tasted sweet. I can't remember). After that I started drinking yummy formula. I love it.
• When I was 4 weeks old, daddy gave me a cold (good one daddy!) It was very hard to breathe and at night i made a lot of noise. I sounded like a little pug. But i got better soon after with lots of love and care, and Fess nose drops. I don't like those much...


• When I was 5 weeks old I started smiling at people. I have a little dimple on my left cheek just like daddy, and it shows every time i smile (and cry).


• At 7 weeks i started making saliva, and i love blowing raspberries when i sit in my rocker. I also slobber all over my hands when i am on my tummy. I make a big mess.


• Tomorrow I turn 8 weeks and mummy will tell you more about what has happened lately. Both her and daddy are very happy and proud of my achievements.

Lots of love,

Abi xx
