taking it easy

Maisie went to visit the eye doctor - it wasn't an enjoyable visit for Maisie. The last couple of times Maisie has visited the hospital Daddy is sure that she realises where she is. The initial eye tests went well and showed that Maisie's eyes are working well and Maisie is visually reacting as required to the tests that she is given.

The problems came when the wonderful eye doctor who has help Maisie so much arrived. Maisie cried and cried and cried. Maisie never usually cries. Not only did she cry but she fought back at everything that the eye doctor tried to do. With perseverance the eye doctor managed to get the required checks done and he is  very happy with Maisie's eyes - next visit is in four months.

Daddy and Zach went camping on Friday and then climbed Ben Nevis with some of Daddy's ex-colleagues who were doing the Three Peak Challenge that  Daddy usually takes part in. Daddy really enjoyed getting back out on the hills and Zach seemed to enjoy running up and down the hills, Daddy is sure that he has never been as fit as Zach is right now - although it need to be pointed out the Daddy did carry all Zach's food and gear.  www.sponsorme.co.uk/costafoundation/3peak2013-team-expresso.aspx

While Daddy and Zach were away Mummy and Maisie spent Saturday together as Meghan was at work. They had lots of playtime but the best bit was when Mummy decided to bake a chocolate cake;


"Mmm, chocolate!" 

It has been a little bit of a lazy time for Maisie, Saturday spent eating chocolate, Sunday Maisie slept in and missed church and Monday's play group was cancelled as it would be only Maisie attending. To continue on the theme of doing nothing Maisie decided to have an extended bathtime;

Maisie has been weighed again and as you may have noticed in the picture above Maisie has put on more weight (maybe due to the chocolate) and is now 16lbs 1oz or 7.3kgs. It's seems that Maisie's growth has slowed down a little - we'll find out more when we see the dietitian at the end of the month.

Maisie has grown up a lot over the last few weeks and is very much more aware of a what is happening around her and becoming more involved.

When Maisie has finished getting her bottle she climbs off Mummy's lap but then quickly realises that once she's done that she can't go anywhere but it wont be long before she gets more mobile - there could be trouble ahead.

In the car Maisie spends all her time trying to turn around in her wee seat to see Daddy and to see what's happening - she loves the car especially now Daddy has treated her to a new seat;

Maisie loves the car even more now that she can see where she's going. 


Maisie is looking forward to going on more adventures in the car the next one being a trip to Edinburgh to say goodbye to Aunty Manu who is off back to Italy for a while.
