Jamie is the BIG cousin

Have been to visit Noah a couple of times in hospital this week. They initially kept him in as he was not feeding well enough, then Hannah had a low blood count and had to have a transfusion and now little Noah has an infected belly button. The first day we visited Noah we had been swimming beforehand (that's twice now) and a lady in the pool with her daughter referred to Jamie as 'the baby' and could not believe he was as old as we said he was! Then, on the way to see Noah this week a woman in the lift (not a Nurse) said 'I guess about 11 weeks'. He will be 24weeks on Saturday!!
Baby clinic was last Thursday and he weighed 14lbs 3oz and his length was 65.5cm. He is certainly not a baby anymore! Although this means he is just over the 25th centile line for is weight, he is actually on the 75th line for his height. The Health Visitor was very happy with his progress.

Daddy is still not working and Jamie has been coming on so much in the last few weeks. He can roll over and back by himself but he is also beginning to grasp the concept of crawling. We are willing him to move foreward and you can see he is only a whisper away from doing it. Once again he has been such a happy baby. Even when going back to the hospital and visiting Noah he behaved himself - even Nanna said so!! The only real trouble we have had with him lately was our trip along the M5 - being stuck in traffic is no-ones idea of fun and when we got to Somerset it took ages to get him settled. We won't be going that far with him for a while (although we did pick up some lovely toys for him!). At Baby Signing (which we have done 4 weeks so far) he has become more involved and this last week only fell asleep at the end!!
