Rouken Glen Park with Nanna and Taid

Our day began at 5.50am when Curtis awoke for his breakfast b4 having a further snooze 'till about 7pm. Then it was time for everyone else to have breakfast...but not wanting to miss a chance to chat to the wee man Nanna and Taid happily ate theirs whilst sitting on our really manky kitchen floor (the last of the rooms in our flat to be renovated in a few weeks time)..now that's dedication!

Curtis had a nice calm day today so we took advantage and put him in his new inflatable play mat. With it being inflated around the sides he can sit up in it by himself without help. He was having a right giraffe (laugh) playing in it.



We have reached the conclusion the trying to get Curtis to sleep for more than 30 mins at a time during the day just dosent work. Before if he woke after 30 mins we tried to get him to go to sleep again to get a full hour + of rest but this led to a really cranky Curtis as he was bored of sleeping.
Now as soon as he wakes we pick him up before he starts crying and play with him which he loves. Then in another couple of hours he's happy to try sleeping for another 20-30 mins. Better than nothing and we have a much happier little boy.

Also today we discovered another cool place on our doorstep to go for walks. Rouken Glen, check out the pictures below from our walk. Curtis slept most of the time but Molly had a great time jumping in every muddy puddle she possibly could.


Later was Curtis's 1st Mersyside derby. Liverpool (me&Tim) Vs Everton (Dad's team). Liverpool won 1 -0

29th March 2008: Good deals at Asda!

Look what a great deal I found when I did my shopping today at Asda....a wee baby boy! Poor wee Curtis was covered in shopping today in Asda as I didnt want to use one of their unstable trollies suited for car seats so had to use a regular trolley and put his car seat in it...it didnt leave much room for groceries so I just had to pile stuff around him. But as you see, he saw the funny side of it. Later in the day Curtis's Nanna and Taid arrived from Ireland. Curtis was really happy about this and saved some of his biggest smiles. Then he was off to his bed for 7pm, leaving everyone else time to have dinner and polish of some pernod and wine.
