Our little social butterfly has had quite a busy time over
the last couple of weeks – another trip to the Olympics to watch the canoe
sprint (which she didn’t seem to enjoy quite as much as the rowing), an open
house afternoon with lots of friends from church popping in, a couple of
funerals (not so good), a visit from Auntie Maxine and cousin Kieran, a few
days staying with Nanny and catching up with various aunties, uncles and
cousins, a trip to the park with Auntie Twinny and cousins Ebony and Erin and a
picnic in the park where she got to see some farm animals for the first time. She has also ‘helped’ Mummy and Daddy out at a
couple of coffee mornings at church raising money for Friends of PICU and
Little Hearts Matter.
Whilst she hasn’t yet worked out how to crawl, she is
getting more and more mobile and is quite quick at rolling across the floor and
working out how to get to where she wants to go. She’s always been quite a wrigglebottom but
now she’s constantly on the move and nappy changing and getting her dressed
have become quite a challenge as a result!
She has also just started clapping her hands and it is delightful to
watch her doing this whenever she gets excited over some new discovery or is
pleased with herself over something. She has also started giving us sloppy baby kisses, which is very sweet, although is very, very selective about when she bestows them and coaxing so far has had little effect!
She is continuing to grow and thrive – now weighing in at
7330g (16lb 2oz) – and is still breastfeeding well (with Infatrini top-ups) and
enjoying her food at mealtimes, particularly when she has finger foods and can be Little Miss Independent! The
community nurse is now visiting fortnightly as Jessica’s oxygen saturations
have been nice and stable (staying in the mid 80s) and we are due to have our
next check-up at Oxford towards the end of next week. We are also looking forward to having Daddy back home tomorrow as he has been working away in Germany this week.
