+8OZ!

Jasper was weighed at the clinic again today. He has gained another eight ounces since last time, bringing him up to 8 lbs and 14 oz. (And that was after being sick just before going on the scales.)

Just like that!

And so this is Christmas

Lots of paper. And some new duds.

Is this what they've been getting worked up about for half of my entire life?

Perhaps next year I'll look into the whole business a bit more.







And now a nap, I think.

Christmas Weigh-In

This morning I was weighed at the baby clinic. Mummy threw away my dummy after my last visit, so I have been able to tell her properly when I'm hungry.
The happy result is that I now weigh 8lbs 6oz (equivalent to 3.8kg.)
This is an increase of 6oz (128g) which is my biggest yet! Breast really is best!

Me and Connor

Mummy took this photo of Big Brother Connor giving me a cuddle.

Clinic

Today I was weighed at the baby clinic.
I weigh 8 lbs exactly!

If you go down to the shops today...

...you're sure to see Jasper dressed as a teddy bear.

Surprise Visitor from Overseas

Uncle Chris just came to visit. I got a lovely new outfit as well as this warm hat:

Portrait Pointer

My brothers and I were photographed by a "professional" on the first of this month. The picture is available for viewing here: http://jasperwithnail.blogspot.com/2007/12/portrait.html.

Missed Appointment

Although this letter was posted on 30 November, we didn't receive it until 7 December (the day after the appointment) because staff at the Luton Royal Mail office were illegally withholding our post. Luckily for Mrs Joan Siddron of Royal Mail Chairman's Office and Mr Andy Bird of Royal Mail's Luton office, Jasper had already had this particular vaccination at hospital. That's as far as their luck went. They are now being investigated by Postwatch and our MP's office.

Blood Test Results

Weighing in at the Boob Club

Today, Mummy showed me off at the breastfeeding clinic. I was weighed again while we were there. I am now 8lbs, ½ oz. My big brother Dirk was weighed too. To find out how much he weighs, visit his blog by clicking here.

Visiting Granny & Grandad

Mugshots

By popular demand...

Portrait

Not the best ever, but watch this space for another one in the New Year.

Visit from Granny

Granny came to visit today. She says my hands and feet are tiny.

First proper bath!

"Do I want a WHAT?!!"

My first bath since coming home! Admittedly, the timing is a bit Withnailian, but when you see my reaction, you'll understand why I wasn't in any hurry...





(Big Brother Dirk seems to think it's funny. But then, he's a funny guy... he likes baths!

Health Visitor

The Health Visitor came at 10.30am today. She measured my weight and length. My weight is now 8 lbs and I am 51.5cm long. And for anybody who wants to buy me a hat for Christmas, my head circumference is 36cm.

Registration of Birth

This afternoon Mummy and Daddy took me to be registered. Now I'm on the bureaucracy radar I suppose I can apply for a passport, get into debt, have my phone tapped and be sent to prison.

Here's the proof:

Ev'rybody loves me, Nobody hates me...

Here's my Big Brother Dirk. He's very proud of me. Naturally.



"I'm here for you mate..."

...I reassure him.


Granny bought me a proper chair from which to control my Evil Empire. It doesn't have bat wings or laser beams, but it vibrates. I find this very soothing.


Everybody thinks I'm great. I don't think I'll go and eat worms.
Like Dirk!

Wide-eyed Boy

Mummy took this photograph in our living room using her mobile phone.

The UK Chief Medical Officer has recommended that if parents want to avoid their children being subject to any possible risk that might be identified in the future, the way to do so is to exercise their choice not to let their children use mobile phones.

He'll say "are you married?" We'll say "No man!"

Mummy's giving out the cuddles!


And what's this stuff? It falls so white and slow and quiet... It needs a nice gentle, quiet name, like... S-N-O-O-Z-E, or S-L-O-W, or S-N-O-W! That's it, SNOW! Is that a good name? Perhaps I can think of a better one later when I've figured out what it's for because there certainly seems to be a helluva lot of it!

Weights and Measures

Today, I visited the midwives at Greenside Children's Centre. They had a good look at me and said that I have all my bits and am "perfect." I am 3.44kg, which is 80g more than when I was born, and 240g more than last time! Mummy-Milk is BEST!!!

Meeting my Uncle

Today, my Uncle Lindsay came to visit me. He gave me a very long cuddle.




After that, lying in my cot just wasn't the same...

Seeing Double!

Will the real Slim Withnail please stand up!



(Clue: I'm the one with the SLIM legs!)

Cruisin' and Snoozin'

I'm a whole week old!

This afternoon, Mummy, Daddy and I all went to meet my Big Brother Connor from his badminton club. It was nearly dark when we got home...

...so we all had a nap!
