went swimming

Maisie had yet another lovely weekend. Although it was very cold  and Maisie couldn't go outside she found lots of things to do.

Maisie continues to enjoy playing in the ring of toys and is taking more interest in all the different types of toys particularly ones that make a lot noise. This is encouraging Maisie to become very vocal and tell Mummy and Daddy lots of stories - Maisie feels that a good time to tell stories is early in the morning. We are lucky that Maisie hasn't full use of her vocal cords yet and that her stories aren't as loud as she'd like them to be.

Maisie took time out of her busy schedule of eating and playing to do her nails;


"I'll need to do this myself as Mummy doesn't do them often enough"
 

The favourite thing that Maisie did this weekend was go swimming. It was advised that hydrotherapy would help Maisie however going to the swimming baths would put Maisie at risk of infection Instead Mummy filled the bath up nice and full so that Maisie could float around. Maisie really enjoyed doing the back stroke but not quite as much as just splashing around - there was water everywhere!

Unfortunately Maisie doesn't have a swimming costume yet so to preserve her modesty there are no photographs.

Maisie is very excited about the coming weekend, partly because she will see her cousins; Charlie, Gracie, Ella and Ava, partly because she will get lots of Easter Eggs but mainly because it is the Annual Duck Race that Daddy arranges for all the family on Easter Sunday. Last Easter Maisie or "the Bump" as she was better known as then, won the Duck Race but (for obvious reasons) could not collect her prize. This meant that Gracie's duck was bumped up to 1st place.

Maisie is hoping that she'll get lucky again this year!
