Water Baby!

Check me out!  I'm a water baby!

Had my first ever swimming lesson with Mum today, and it was soooooooooooo cool.  The water was all lovely and warm, and it was like having my bath only MUCH better 'cos there was heaps and heaps of room to kick around and splash about.  I smiled the whole time!  I even - how cool is this - went under the water SIX TIMES!  Love it, love it, LOVE it! 

The only rubbish aspect to it was that Mum hadn't had a chance to get any togs for me, so I had to wear my brother's old swim pants - and they were FAR too big (not to mention a far-too-masculine blue!).  A lady should never be seen with her pants showing, never mind her pants falling down, for goodness' sake!  Never mind.  Next week I'll be back in fashion again, hopefully.  There are some videos and more pics of me being an Olympic swimming star on the photo link below.

Talking of firsts, I had another first today. My first real food!  Remember I said Mum thought I might be ready for something more than milk?  Mum spoke to a Plunket nurse lady who said to try me on baby rice. I think Mum was relieved to have the go-ahead - for some reason she doesn't seem to like being woken at 9:30, 12am, 3am and 5:30am. . . So anyway, I sampled some baby rice mixed with warm water and some boob juice.  I'll be 16 weeks on Sunday, so I'm okay to go for something mild.  Mild is too right - here's what I thought of it:

Anyway,  it did seem to make me feel nice and full and I was quite happy in the late afternoon, that window of time Mum calls "the banshee hour" 'cos apparently I get really grumpy and moody. Mum gave me some more just now, just before I go to bed, so as I sign off I'm feeling quite sleepy and full . . .  we'll see how the night pans out.

For now, readers, goodnight!
