Holy moses baskets!

Although the health visitor didn’t make it in time to weigh the ‘wee’ man last week we can see for ourselves that he has continued to grow rapidly. Last week we measured his length at 20” and one week later he is 22”…seems strange to think he’s grown a whole 2 inches in front of our eyes! This will explain why he seems to be working his way higher and higher up his moses basket. We though that he was pushing himself up each night but it seems not – we just measured the mattress which we see is only 24” in length…so the ‘wee’ fella is just running out of space. Today on his one month birthday we’ve had to get the cotbed out of the cupboard and will put it up tomorrow…I think he’ll be in it within the week!

Today Auntie Lisa and her mum Elenour came to visit and clever Elenour noting it was Curtis’s one month birthday brought him his 1st ever birthday present…he quickly utilised his new skill of grabbing things with his hands and assisted steph in opening it to reveal a gorgeous wee white bear. Thank you Elenour xx Later Uncles Jamie and Dan came to visit along with their dog Milly. Unfortunately Curtis was on a bit of a feeding frenzy today and didn’t get to see much of them but did manage a wee cuddle with Dan before they left.

Curtis is looking really chilled out these days and in the past two days has begun to make a new range of noises – all usually directed at his beloved zebra which stares down at him when he’s on the changing mat, and has also begun to grab at peoples clothes when cuddling them and even decided this morning to grab hold of his nannas bottom lip for 2-3 minutes whilst being held - adoring nanna Hughes didn’t complain one bit at this of course. The wee man has already got both his nanny’s quite besotted.
